The Cards move on to visit No. 2 Sutter (35-6-1) in a section semifinal game scheduled for 4 p.m. today. Sutter defeated No. 7 Win- ters (13-18) 16-1 on Tuesday. No. 1 Lassen (34-4) will face No. 5 Wheatland (16- 15-1) at 4 p.m. today in the other semifinal game. Lassen received a bye in the quarterfinal round. The highest-seeded team to make it through the semifinal round is sched- uled to host the section ti- tle game at 2 p.m. Saturday. Corning last won a sec- tion championship in 1990, according to the Northern Section CIF website. Cardinals FROM PAGE 1 ble to right, sending Claw- son home for a 1-0 lead. Two runs then scored in the fourth without a hit. Kolby Button was hit by a pitch, Jack Murphy worked a walk on an extended at- bat, and Bryce Sinclair's sac bunt was thrown away. Pritchard's sac fly made it 3-0 for the Spartans. Steindorf went 5 1/3 in- nings. He gave up two hits, walked two and hit two batters. He struck out five, including the last batter he faced. Ryan Vlasic took over for Steindorf, departing one out into the sixth with his pitch count at more than 100 pitches. "I have a firm belief in that he's moving on to greater things. I'm taking care of him. It just didn't work out," Ludwig said of the senior who has a UC Davis scholarship. Sinclair greeted Vlasic with a double that skirted the foul line in right, driv- ing in Button. Clawson then dropped an infield hit past the mound that died down in the grass to bring up Pritchard. "That's how baseball works and then you have the best hitter in the league up and he launches it," Ludwig said. Pritchard said he ex- pected a fastball, but he took care of a breaking ball all the same as his homer cleared right field and had Red Bluff suddenly coasting, especially with Schreter on the mound. The lefty went ahead and completed the game he started. He struck out four batters and walked two in the three-hit shutout as his changeupwasspoton,keep- ingtheVikingsoff-balanced. "Eric threw a great game. We can't win with three hits in a game — ob- viously. We really couldn't put anything together on him, and that's the bottom line," Ludwig said. Vlasic doubled with one out in the third inning but was stranded at third base. Then the best rally the fourth-seeded Vikings (18-12-2) managed came in the seventh as Jaret Flint pulled a single through the right side with one out, and Blake Littleton singled up the middle with two outs. Trent Darms looked like he'd singled through the right side as well, but the ball hit Littleton running toward second base for runner's interference for the game-ending out. Spartans FROM PAGE 1 Crisp, meanwhile, flew from Houston to Dallas after Wednesday's game to have his neck checked out by a specialist. He'd like to think injury rehab will take care of it, but he tried rehab with the same injury last year and struggled to one of his poorest seasons. He'd put the injury be- hind him until jarring the neck with an attempt at a diving catch Tuesday. "It's rough to have been battling this since last year," Crisp told this news- paper. "You want to be healthy. Rehab was the process we went with last year and I was doing OK. Now I'm going to go out there to see what the next steps are. There is no tell- ing how things are going to play out, whether it's go- ing to need more rehab or something a little more in- vasive." "Invasive" is the code word for surgery, and while Crisp tried to get away without surgery last year, the fact that the in- jury has returned may have changed his view. In any event, he seems resigned to a rather longish time away. "I'll try to come back sometime this year, and hopefully the boys will put us in position to win a championship," he said. "And if not, then next year." Semien made his 16th error on a throw in the sec- ond inning and was only saved from another error on a nice pickup by first baseman Mark Canha. "We were working on it all day today," man- ager Bob Melvin said of Semien's throwing issues. Working with Semien has been third base and infield coach Mike Gallego. He will remain the third base and infield coach and, as all the A's coaching berths are filled, Washing- ton will be brought in as a special instructor. Oakland also put starter Drew Pomeranz on the dis- abled list and recalled Ar- nold Leon to rejoin the bullpen. And it won't stop there. Kendall Graveman is expected to join the team and start Saturday's game in the spot that would have been Pomeranz's had not his AC joint in his left shoulder not started act- ing up. The A's are clearly scram- bling. Wednesday's loss to Astros' undefeated Dal- las Keuchel (6-0) was Oak- land's 12th in the club's last 14 starts. The 14-28 record is the worst in the Amer- ican League and leaves Oakland 13½ games be- hind the first-place Astros in the AL West. "We have a lot of games left, that's what you have to keep in mind," DH Billy Butler said. He scored the only run on an Astros' er- ror in the sixth. That briefly tied the game before Evan Gattis homered in the bot- tom of the inning for a 3-1 lead. Houston never looked back. "Our expectations were higher than they are right now, and they still are. That hasn't changed because of our record." Notes • Starter Jarrod Parker's elbow surgery went well Tuesday, and now comes the difficult part — sitting and waiting. Parker will stay in his post-op splint for two weeks, then will be put in another brace for two-to- four weeks to give the el- bow a chance to heal and scar up. "You just want to leave the elbow alone and let everything kind of scar down," trainer Nick Papa- resta said. "Don't move it back and forth too much and kind of let that ten- don get the best healing possible." At 14 games under .500, the A's have reached a depth they haven't seen since ending the 2011 sea- son 74-88. • Eric O'Flaherty (left shoulder strain) is sched- uled to get a bullpen ses- sion by the end of the week, so he could be back with Oakland before too much longer. • Second baseman Ben Zobrist played five innings for Stockton Tuesday, is scheduled to play seven in- nings for the Ports Wednes- day, then will take Thurs- day off to move to Fresno, where he will join Triple- A Nashville for a couple of games Friday and Satur- day. He could be back with the team Monday. • Starter A.J. Griffin could throw a simulated game by Tuesday and go out on an injury rehabilita- tion assignment after that. • Disabled reliever Sean Doolittle (left shoulder) will throw for Nashville on Friday in Fresno. He could be back for the start of the homestand. A's FROM PAGE 1 turned sour for the Hawks when DeMarre Carroll, their leading scorer in the playoffs, went down with what appeared to be a left knee injury driving to the basket with 4:59 remain- ing. He was helped to the locker room, not putting any weight on his knee. The Cavaliers took con- trol when Smith knocked down back-to-back 3s in the third quarter. After the second one, he turned to- ward the Atlanta fans and blew off his right index fin- ger and motioned toward his side, like he was hol- stering his pistol. Yep, he was that hot. Cleveland outscored the Hawks 22-4 over the fi- nal 5 minutes of the third quarter and the first 2 min- utes of the fourth. In fact, the Cavs scored the first 11 points of the final period for their biggest lead, 85-67. Carroll's injury left the crowd in silence and could be a huge blow for the Hawks. Not only was he their main defender on James, he has turned into an offensive force in the playoffs, averaging more than 17 points coming into the first Eastern Conference final in Atlanta history. Cleveland slowed the pace down the stretch, looking to milk the clock, and nearly squandered the big lead. Atlanta closed to 91-87 with about a minute remaining, but James got loose from Paul Millsap out near the arc, took off down the lane uncontested and slammed home a dunk to finish off the Hawks. Smith has been a huge addition for the Cavaliers since he was acquired in January as part of a three- team trade with New York and Oklahoma City, a player once known for his selfish- ness learning to work well with within the confines of a team led by James. When the Cavaliers re- ally needed Smith in Game 1, he seemed to make ev- ery shot. Looking to get off to a quick start in front of their raucous home crowd, the Hawks jumped out to a nine-point lead in the first quarter. Atlanta shot 61 percent and James went to the bench with about 3 minutes remaining in the period with his second foul.
