In their last home game of the regular season, the Cardi- nal seniors enjoyed a family send-off, defensive coach Bob Hall, who is retiring, was hon- ored and the team celebrated its 500th win after it staged a 51-6 rout of the Central Valley Falcons. "Five hundred is just kind of a lot to even think about," Corning coach John Studer said after the team posed for pictures and the number "500" was painted in white at the 50- yard line. Corning running back Alex Davila set the tone early, rush- ing for 11- and 29-yard touch- downs in the first quarter to lead the Cards to an early 13-0 lead. Salvador Mora guided a 29-yard field goal attempt through the posts and Corn- ing took a 16-0 advantage go- ing to the second period. Davila finished the game with 86 rushing yards on nine carries. Chance Nelson, who scored two TDs on the night, led the team with 154 rushing yards on 11 carries. Tony Carrillo turned in a big game with 121 rushing yards on six carries and a TD. Aiden Nye powered through the Cen- tral Valley defense to rush for a TD, finishing with 29 yards on three carries.

ANDRE BYIK — DAILY NEWS The Corning Cardinals football team reached 500wins in the program's history Friday. By Antonio Gonzalez The Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO Buster Posey was annoyed. Playfully so. The Giants catcher wanted Madi- son Bumgarner to do more than barely break a smile after a bril- liant pitching performance put San Francisco one win from an- other World Series title. No way, Buster. Because in this postseason full of stars and surprises, who knows? Heck, Bumgarner might still have more work to do. Baseball took its final break Monday before the Giants and Royals settle things. Holding a 3-2 edge, San Francisco will try to claim its third championship in five years Tuesday night when the wild-card matchup resumes at Kansas City. "We're trying to grind this thing out, the way we have for what feels like forever now," Jake Peavy, who starts Game 6 for the Giants, said before Monday night's workout at Kauffman Sta- dium. "Not even sure of the date, the day. Doesn't matter." The day off gave fans a chance to savor what they'd already seen in the past month, and there was plenty — the success of Bumgar- ner, Lorenzo Cain and Yusmeiro Petit, the struggles of Clayton Kershaw, Mike Trout and De- troit's aces, a rack of tight games and one that went 18 innings. "Clayton who? MadBum!" one man yelled as he exited AT&T Park after the Giants won 5-0 Sunday night. Could be a lot more cooking in this October oven, too. Maybe Ned Yost even had it right. "Oh, man, somewhere inside of me, secretly I had hoped that it would go seven games for the ex- citement and the thrill of it," the Kansas City manager said after a loss in Game 4. "Sure looks that way." Perhaps it's only fitting this Fall Classic ends at Kauffman Stadium, a place hosting playoff baseball for the first time in 29 years. The Royals started this pul- sating postseason at home with a 9-8 comeback win in 12 innings over Oakland in the AL wild-card game, a thriller that began on the POSTSEASON Giants,RoyalsreadyforwildWorldSeriesfinish SF aims for third championship in 5 years DAVID J.

DAVIS The Corning Lady Car- dinals lost to Pleasant Valley 1-0 in the consolation bracket of the Eastern Athletic League postsea- son field hockey tournament over the weekend. Pleasant Valley scored with less than five minutes to go dur- ing a game played through pour- ing rain. Corning's Kobye Rezendes and Dani Zuppan were named to the All-Tournament team. Corning went 0-1-2 in pool play, including a pair of scoreless draws against River Valley and Lassen. In both games Corning had the ball in their opponent's half of the pitch for about 85 percent of the game, but just couldn't find a way to get the ball in the cage. Chico beat Corning 2-0, with both goals coming in the second half. Concepcion Paz, Ashlee Mishoe and Kaitlin Cox had strong de- fensive performances and Whit- ney Armstrong, Ally Zuppan and Cassie Carter led Corning's at- tack. Corning was tied with River Valley after pool play, which forced a flick off for the consola- tion bracket spot. Dani Zuppan scored the lone goal as Sarah Boone blocked all five River Valley attempts.
