The Spartans' Lane Pritchard went 4 for 4 bat- ting with three RBIs and two runs scored. Walker Dodero went 1 for 3 with two RBIs, and Bryce Sin- clair and Will Macdonald each went 2 for 3, notch- ing an RBI apiece. Schreter, who pitched five innings in the win, started strong and didn't relent. After striking out the first three batters he faced, the senior went on to record a total of 10 strikeouts, giving up just three hits and one earned run. "All my pitches were there," he said. "My changeup hasn't been there all season, and (Tuesday), right before the game, Sanders had me try some- thing new in the bullpen, and it just clicked." Kolby Button was strong in two innings of relief, as the Bobcats failed to put a runner on base. Now the Spartans pre- pare for a best-of-three semifinal matchup against the No. 4 Pleasant Valley Vikings (17-10-2, 7-5 EA- SRL). The squads are sched- uled to play a doubleheader starting at 1 p.m. Friday at Red Bluff High School. The Vikings sent the fifth-seeded Foothill Cou- gars home after a 5-0 win Tuesday, and they sport a 1-3 record against Red Bluff this year. On April 28, the Spar- tans prevailed in extra innings, beating the Vi- kings 5-4 in eight. Schreter pitched the whole way, striking out eight batters, giving up three hits and al- lowing no earned runs. On May 1, the Vikings traveled to Red Bluff and secured a 5-2 win. Back on April 10, Red Bluff shut out Pleasant Val- ley 3-0 in a tournament game. "Going into Friday, we just have to keep all this momentum going," Schreter said. "We beat PV two out of three times. We know we have their num- ber. If we do half of what we did (Tuesday), we'll be pretty solid with the pitch- ing we have." Sanders wasn't as reveal- ing. To succeed in the semi- final round, the Spartans will "need to pitch, play defense and put the bat on the ball," he said. Cliches, however, can ring true. Just ask the Bob- cats. Playoffpicture No. 6 Chico defeated No. 3 Oroville 3-2 on Tuesday, and No. 7 Enterprise de- feated No. 2 Shasta 4-1. Chico will host Enter- prise in the other semifi- nal doubleheader Friday. Spartans FROM PAGE 1 The 0-for-14 was close to record territory for the A's, whose record is 0-for-16 set almost a decade ago. And the end result was that the A's are now a staggeringly bad 1-for-12 when trying to win back-to-back games this year. Gray, meanwhile, gave up an opposite field pop fly to the Red Sox's Dan- iel Nava, and the ball fell down the left field line. It wasn't much, but it was enough. "More or less, this was a game we really had to win," Gray said, reflect- ing on the fact that Oak- land has won consecutive games just once this year, and that was a month ago. "We felt really good com- ing into this one." They weren't feeling chipper by the time it was over, not even Coco Crisp, who ended his career-worst hitless slump at 0-for-26 with an infield single and made a couple of stellar diving catches. "Unfortunately, it's not the ideal start that any ballplayer wants," Crisp said. "That's just the way the game goes." And there was the oblig- atory error that factored into making it a two-run game instead of one. Mar- cus Semien went deep into the hole at shortstop with men at first and second, fielded Dustin Pedroia's grounder, but threw it wildly past first base. Early in the day the of- ficial scorer had taken a throwing error from Tues- day away from him and given it to Max Muncy for not catching the ball at first base. The respite didn't last long with Semien's throw letting the second Boston run come home as he was charged with his league- leading 11th error. "I'm going to trust my ability and figure this thing out," Semien said. He said he was trying to put some- thing extra on the ball knowing Pedroia's speed and get the ball to first base. "The focus is to hit the (first baseman) in the chest, and I'll work harder to do that." The A's have Thursday off — the team's annual charity golf tournament is on the schedule — then come back Friday against the White Sox. When they gather again, the A's will be facing a Chicago team that has been scuffling. That hardly seems to matter, as four of the last five series the A's have played have come against teams with losing records, and Oak- land has lost all five series. To win a series, the A's are going to have to win back-to-back games at some point. "I can't pinpoint any- thing; it's just something that keeps happening to us," Reddick said. "We're not going into games thinking about that. We can't seem to do it right now. The bottom line is that we're not executing right now." Add this from Gray, who was asked about the team's overall struggle. "I have no clue," he said. He's not alone. • Gray's ERA was 1.65 coming into the game and 1.61 after giving up one run in seven innings. A's FROM PAGE 1 The Hawks gave the ball to Schroder, who ignited a fourth-quarter rally and was still in the game with All-Star point guard Jeff Teague watching from the bench. Schroder drove and had the shot swatted off the backboard by Wall. Horford snatched the ball away from Nene, who tumbled to the court, leav- ing the Hawks center all alone under the basket. He put it the easy shot on a night when both teams struggled offensively, then watched the Wizards throw up a wild shot from halfcourt that didn't come close as the horn sounded. The sellout crowd nearly stormed the court, held back by security while the Hawks celebrated. Hor- ford pumped his fists to the crowd, having saved the Hawks with their magical season on the brink. He led the Hawks with 23 points and 11 rebounds. Atlanta is one victory from advancing to the third round of the playoffs for the first time since mov- ing from St. Louis in 1968. Game 6 is Friday night in Washington, and the Wiz- ards must win to force the series back to Atlanta for a decisive Game 7. Wall's return was the major storyline before the game. The Wizards star was injured in the series opener, fracturing several bones in his left hand when he tumbled to the court. He managed to finish that game, scoring 18 points and dishing out 13 assists as the Wizards pulled off an upset in Atlanta, but he missed the next three games. He looked just fine in Game 5, but didn't put up his usual numbers as both offenses slogged through a tough night. Wall wound up with 15 points, seven assists and four steals, but also turned it over six times. Bradley Beal led the Wizards with 23 points. This was a game of runs. The Hawks produced the biggest one of all, a 14-0 spurt in the fourth quar- ter after missing their first nine shots of the period, along with four turnovers. Kyle Korver finally scored Atlanta's first basket of the quarter, a 3-pointer with 4:58 remaining. Horford followed with another 3 from the corner, and it was tight the rest of the way. Washington closed the first half on a 19-6 run, tak- ing a 47-41 halftime lead. Atlanta missed seven of eight shots and turned it over three times, allowing the Wizards to pull ahead for the first time since the opening minutes. It could have been worse, but the Hawks finally made two baskets in the final 45 sec- onds of the half. Hawks FROM PAGE 1 the ninth but was thrown out trying for third on a ground ball to the left side as the Giants settled for a split in the two-game in- terleague series at Minute Maid Park. They missed an oppor- tunity to leave here with more, especially after As- tros left-hander Brett Oberholtzer was forced to leave after three innings because of a recurring blis- ter issue. The Giants loaded the bases against right-hander Samuel Deduno in the fourth, and had the right man at the plate. But a day after Matt Duffy drove in a career-best five runs, the Astros didn't give him any- thing to hit. After a mound conference, Deduno threw him five consecutive curve- balls and got him to fly out to center. Posey, who hit an RBI single in the first inning, drove in all of the Giants' runs and notched his first three-RBI game since Sept. 2 of last season. He stepped to bat in the fifth inning after Angel Pa- gan's leadoff triple rolled onto Tal's Hill in center field. Deduno brushed back Posey with a 2-2 pitch, then looped a curveball at the top of the zone that Posey crushed to left field for a 3-1 lead. Hudson could not hold it.
