twomorerunsscore. "We'll scrap. We'll go out there and we'll scrap. We might not put them all in at once. We did today, but it doesn't have to be big," Wright said. "But we can paper-cut you to death." The lengthy inning didn't ice Wright, either. Instead it spurred him on as he got a 1-2-3 inning in the sixth and worked around a leadoff error in the seventh to retire the next three batters. In the second game, the Spartans, though, got the performance they needed from Clawson and then se- nior first baseman Walker Dodero backed him up both in the field and at the plate. "That was huge. As a sophomore coming out for a semifinal game like this is huge," Gamboa said of Clawson. "That just gave us a little more oomph to push to the win. We couldn't ask for a better start there and a better kid on the mound." PV's one true rally came in the fourth. Busby led off with a single, his third straight hit and second in the game, and Maria walked before the runners moved over on a balk, set- ting up the Vikings' big hit- ter — Steindorf. The senior smashed what should've been a sure- fire hit, but Dodero got his glove on it for an out as Busby scored. Then af- ter Flint's suicide squeeze brought home Riley Schader, the courtesy run- ner for Maria, Dodero ran down a foul popup that he dived for to end the inning. "Walker doesn't get credit for how great he is defensively. He scoops ev- erything at first base, and he's extremely athletic out there," Red Bluff coach Ry- land Sanders said. Dodero then gave Claw- son more to work with as he hit a two-run homer to right after Eric Schreter walked with two outs for a 7-2 advantage. Steindorf doubled and scored in the seventh be- fore Clawson's seventh strikeout finished the game. Lane Pritchard had an RBI double in the fourth for one of his two hits. Red Bluff built its lead by taking pitches in the second inning. Singles from Hendricks and Kolby Button and a Clawson walk loaded the bases. Will Mac- donald drove a run in on another walk before two wild pitches let two runs score before the Spartans got a fourth run on an in- tentional rundown be- tween first and second. Baseball FROMPAGE1 gan, including 29 the past two games. He made 26 of those. Thompson, who will have the primary defen- sive assignment against Harden, is excited about the challenge ahead. "It's going to be a lot of fun from a competitive stand- point," he said. Kerr conceded the as- signment is not easy. "You have to be very dis- ciplined against him," Kerr said. "He's very clever and defensively you've got to be in the right position, take the right angles. You've got to be really smart in your approach." Center Andrew Bogut said Harden doesn't merely draw fouls, he pursues them. "He does a great job of swinging his arms out and trying to seek out contact," Bogut said. "It's kind of an unorthodox basketball play, but he's very smart with it. We're going to try to make him finish over a big fella and not reach." Thompson, who has played against Harden since their days as Pac-12 Conference rivals, said it almost doesn't matter that defenders know Harden will try to go left much of the time. "You try to make him go right," Thompson said. "But he's got incredible ball skills. He's a great ballhan- dler, he's a big, strong guy. He lulls you to sleep ... and he's a great finisher." Thompson, who will get help from Andre Iguo- dala and Harrison Barnes, did a solid job against him during four regular-sea- son games, all won by the Warriors. Harden averaged 25.3 points against Golden State, but shot only 40.5 percent from the field, 24 percent from the 3-point arc. Most importantly, the Warriors allowed him to shoot 17 free throws in the first three meetings before Harden went 14 for 16 in the most recent matchup. "Just try to stay in front of him without fouling," Thompson said. The best way to defuse Harden might be to put the game out of reach. The Warriors won each of the first four by double-digit margins, and Harden to- taled 15 fourth-quarter points, only two points in the final 4:44 in any of those games. Kerr likes his chances with Thompson on the job. "There's always a lot on Klay's plate," Kerr said. "There was last series, too, guarding Mike Con- ley. Klay's an excellent on- ball defender. He enjoys the challenge. I'm confi- dent he will do a good job." Notes • There was much antic- ipation that the Warriors would meet the Los Ange- les Clippers in the West- ern finals, but the Rock- ets spoiled that rivalry se- ries. Draymond Green said he isn't giving it a thought. "That's their problem, not ours," he said. • ESPN will televise the entire Western Confer- ence finals series, and for- mer Warriors coach Mark Jackson will do analyst work alongside play-by- play man Mike Breen and Jeff Van Gundy. • Thompson credited great genes and hard work for his ability to avoid fa- tigue in games. "I've been a great run- ner since I was a kid. I've never really gotten that fa- tigued," he said. But Thompson recoiled when asked whether he built that stamina by run- ning cross country or track in high school. "Absolutely not," he snapped. • This series matches the league's MVP (Ste- phen Curry) and runner- up (Harden) in the postsea- son for the first time since 2012, when MVP LeBron James dueled runner-up Kevin Durant. Warriors FROM PAGE 1 By Cam Inman BayAreaNewsGroup SANTA CLARA Justin Smith hit the gym like Monday mornings, or any other morning. Then he had news to share, but not in a retirement cere- mony with him in a suit and tie, nor even in his fa- vorite bluejeans and cow- boy boots. "It was a good ride," Smith said to close a con- ference call with reporters. "You guys ain't going to get me in a room to make me cry." This was pure Justin Smith, someone who did not seek attention but rather a powerful defen- sive linemen who preyed on quarterbacks, ball car- riers and overmatched guards for 14 impressive years. Smith, 35, called it a cut-and-dry decision to re- tire, enhanced by an ach- ing left shoulder he's bat- tled since a 2013 training- camp collision with guard Mike Iupati. "Where I play on the right side, all my contact comes on my left shoulder and left side," Smith said. "And it doesn't respond the way I want it to respond anymore. "If you don't have the tools, you can't do the job. So it's just time to go." Smith joins a parade of starters who've left this off- season, including the re- tirements of linebackers Patrick Willis and Chris Borland, as well as the free agency exits of running back Frank Gore, wide re- ceiver Michael Crabtree, guard Iupati, linebacker Dan Skuta, and corner- backs Chris Culliver and Perrish Cox. "Justin has earned the respect of the entire NFL community, and he will always be remembered as one of the 49ers all-time greats," team CEO Jed York said in a statement. The 49ers have braced the past couple years for Smith to step away de- spite his continual strong play. He had a team-high 39 quarterback hits and 56 pressures last season to go along with five sacks. Smith's spot at right de- fensive tackle could be tick- eted for first-round draft pick Arik Armstead or vet- eran Darnell Dockett, who signed earlier this offsea- son. Other candidates in- clude Glenn Dorsey, Quin- ton Dial, Tony Jerod-Eddie and Tank Carradine. The 49ers also need to settle on a starter at left defen- sive tackle, where Smith's close friend, Ray McDon- ald, lined up before his De- cember release. Smith was selected to five consecutive Pro Bowls from 2009-13. He notched at least five sacks in 12 of his 14 sea- sons, something only 12 other players have done since 1982. Smith turns 36 on Sept. 20, when the 49ers travel to the Pitts- burgh Steelers. "It's a young man's game, and you've got to be full of p—- and vine- gar when you step on the field," Smith said. "As you get older, it's harder to get that same intensity going, week in and week out. It's just time to go." Smith's most eye-open- ing season came in 2011, when he made The Asso- ciated Press All-Pro teams at two positions: first-team defensive tackle and sec- ond-team defensive end. Among his memora- ble plays that season were chasing down Jeremy Ma- clin to force a fumble and preserve a Week 4 win at Philadelphia. "The thing about that was we just got a big win on the road and we just got on a roll after there; we kind of went on a three- year roll," Smith said. "We had a hell of a team, and we had a hell of a lot of fun playing together." 49ERS SF's Smith decides to retire from NFL COLLEGEBASEBALL Oregon vs. Oregon State:7 p.m., PAC-12.
