Looking for a family-friendly kickoff toCinco de Mayo?

Then head out to the coast Sunday to

enjoy an afternoon of mariachi musicagainst the backdrop of the historicJohnston House’s ocean views during Half Moon Bay’s Concerts in the Park.

The free community event sponsored, bythe Half Moon Bay Recreation Committeein collaboration with the city’s LatinoAdvisory Council, aims to spotlight thediverse coastal culture.

While other annual events like thePumpkin Festival and Pacific Coast DreamMachines Show attract thousands fromacross the Bay Area, th e second renditio n of the city’s Concerts in the Park series strivesto foster and strengthen community bonds.

Attendees are encouraged to pack a blan-ket and lounge on the sprawling lawn of thehistoric home built in the mid-1800s byearly settler and community activist JamesJohnston, said Marcia Reilly, member of the Recreation Committee.

“He married a Latino woman and, at thetime, he was the wealthiest man in the coun-ty and spoke English. There were a lot of land disputes and he became a kind of achampion for the different Hispanic peoplein th e area. So it h as a cultural signi ficance.We’re tying it to the Cinco de Mayo themeand we’re trying to highlight the Latinocommunity, ” Reilly sai d.

Crowds will be entertained with live per-formances by Mariachi San Francisco,Ballet Folklorico Tonantzin, MariachiMedia Luna and LaTiDo. Food trucks willkeep fans full and the first 300 attendeeswill receive a free tote bag.

The series is not only intended to culti-

vate community relations, it’s also meant

to promote city parks. It’s been nearly twodecades sin ce the Joh nsto n House served asa venue for a city function and officials arehoping crowds will join at the restoredproperty off Highway 1.

“Having the Johnston House be the back-drop of Half Moon Bay’s Concert in the

Park is very exciting as it’s the first tine inalmost 20 years an outdoor event has beenheld at this venue that offers spectacularhillside views of the ocean,” Mayor MarinaFraser wrote in an email.

Civil war reenactors were the last to s pot-ligh t the home in the 1990 s during perform-ances that raised funds for maintaining theproperty formerly owned by Johnston, acattleman and farmer who immigrated fromScotland during the Gold Rush, Fraser said.

The home will also be op en for tours dur-ing the concert starting at 3 p.m.

Sunday’s con cert attendees will also havea chance to make his tory. Peopl e are encour-aged to submit photos or notes for a timecapsule that will be buried at Mac Dutra Parkand opened during the city’s 100thAnniversary Celebration in 2059, said

Assistant City Manager Alex Khojikian.The last Concerts in the Park was held in

November at Mac Dutra Park during a sym-bolic hurrah before the site was leveled andis currently undergoing a massive renova-tion in the heart of downtown, Khojikiansaid.

“For the coming year, we’re looking atMac Dutra Park, which will hopefully becompleted by July 4 with a ribbon cuttingduring t he parade,” Khojik ian said. “They’llbe a stage over there so we’re hoping tohave the concerts in the heart of downtownto keep this going as a concert series”

A woman who took a plea deal to avoidfelony human trafficking charges after being

despite facing up to three years in priso n, wassentenced to just one year in county jail andthree years probation, according to theDistrict Attorney’s Office.

Jimenez was charged for allegedly helpingAndrew Jordan, 25, and Sate Jones, 28, pros-titute the four women, including on e underagegirl, at the La Quinta Inn during February2013.

According to prosecutors, Jones droppedoff two women one night and two women thefollowing between Feb. 15 and Feb. 16. Twoof the women told police they were destituteand that Jones and Jordon had found themseveral days earlier in Sacramento before

prostituting them at motels i n San Franciscoand South San Francisco.The women said the couple took all over

their money, gave them illegal drugs to keepthem working all night and sometimesdeprived them of food. At police direction,the women called Jones to be picked up.

He arrived with Jimenez and the two werearrested.

Jordon remained at large for 11 monthsbefore being arrested and pleaded no contestto felony pimping and false imprisonmentby force or fear. On April 3, Jordon was sen-tenced to eight years in prison.

Jones is scheduled for a jury trial June 22.Jimenez, who had been out on $350,000

bail, has 169 days of credit toward her sen-tence and must turn herself in to finish theremainder starting June 27, said District

week pleaded not guilty toattempted murder andassault Friday.

remains in custody andwill return to courtTuesday to request a judgelower his $1 million bail,said District AttorneySteve Wagstaffe.

Fisher and his 33-year-old son, who was unemployed and living atthe Crestview Drive home, had allegedlybeen drinking when the two began to arguebefore 4 p.m. April 22. The fight continuedthroughout the home until Fisher pulled a .38caliber semi-automatic handgun and shot theson in the neck and abdomen at close range,according to Wagstaffe.

Police have not been able to fully questionthe son due to his medical condition , but he isexpected to survive, Wagstaffe said.

Fisher initially said he felt he needed todefend himself and the son allegedly has ahistory of alcohol and anger managementproblems, according to Wagstaffe.

The victim allegedly had a pocketkni fe thatwas found at the scene, although i t’s unclear if it was brandished during the fight, accordingto Wagstaffe.

Fisher first appeared in court last week andhis request for a court appointed attorney wasdenied due to his financial means. Fisherretained attorney Richard Weese, who couldnot be reached for comment.

Fisher waived his right to a sp eedy trial andhis case is set for a preliminary hearing May13.

SACRAMENTO — California grew mod-estly last year to 38.7 million people, with

San Diego and San Jose experiencing the

largest gains among major cities, statedemographers an nounced Friday.

California grew by about 1 percent, adding358, 000 residents, in 201 4, according to thestate Department of Finance. The growth ratemirrors that of recent years, and the popula-

tion gains were widely distributed through-out the state.

Los Angeles grew 1.1 percent by addingnearly 43,0 00 p eople and remains the st ate’slargest city with nearly 4 million people.However, the second- and third-largest citieseach grew at a rate of about 1.5 percent.

BALTIMORE — Rage turned to relief inBaltimore on Friday when the city’s topprosecutor charged six police officers withfelonies ranging from assault to murder inthe death of Freddie Gray.

State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby saidGray’s arrest was ill egal and unjustified, andthat his neck was broken because he washandcuffed, shackled and placed head-firstinto a police van, where his pleas for med-ical attenti on were repeatedly ig nored as hebounced around insi de the small metal box .

The swiftness of her announcement, lessthan a day after receivin g th e poli ce depart-ment’s criminal investigation and officialautopsy results, took the city b y surprise.So too did her detailed descripti on, based inpart on her office’s independent investiga-tion, of the evidence supporting probablecause to charge all six officers withfelonies.

The police had no reason to stop or chaseafter Gray, Mosby said. They falselyaccused him of having an illegal switch-blade when in fact it was a legal pock-etknife. The van driver and the other offi-cers failed to strap him down with a seat-belt, a direct violation of department poli-cy, and they ignored Gray’s repeated pleasfor medical attention, even rerouting thevan to pick up another passenger.

Mosby did not s ay whether there was anyindication the driver deliberately droveerratically, causing Gray’s body to strikethe van’s interior. In 2005, a man died of afractured spine after he was transported in aBaltimore pol ice van in handcuffs and with-out a seat belt. At a civil trial, an attorneyfor his family successfully argued policehad given hi m a “rough ride.”

The officers missed five opportunities tohelp an injured and falsely imprisoneddetainee before he arrived at the police sta-tion no longer breathing, she said. Along

the way, “Mr. Gray suffered a severe and crit-ical neck injury as a result of being hand-cuffed, shackled by his feet and unrestrainedinsi de of the BPD wagon ,” sh e said.

Her announcement t riggered celebration sacross the s ame West Baltimo re streets thatwere smoldering just four days earlier, whenGray’s funeral led to riots and lootin g.

“We are satisfied with today’s charges,”Gray’s stepfather, Richard Shipley, told anews conference. “These charges are animportant step in getting justice forFreddie.”

Six officers charged in death in BaltimoTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BALTIMORE — Baltimore’s chief prose-cutor, just 35 years old and on the job for

less than four months,moved swiftly Friday toaddress the biggest chal-lenge of her career whenshe announced chargesincluding second-degreemurder against six offi-cers in the death of Freddie Gray.

State’s AttorneyMarilyn Mosby sur-prised legal observers

by filing charges against the officers her-self, rather than seeking a grand jury indict-ment, a day after receiving the results of theinternal police investig ation and an officialautopsy report. The decision, however, was

consistent with her campaign pledge tohold police accountable.“It is surprising because many prosecu-

tors would calculate that there is less risk of alienating the police by putting this in thehands of the grand jury, and she did not dothat,” said Andrew Levy, a longtimeBaltimore defense attorney and an adjunctprofessor at the University of MarylandSchool of Law.

LOS ANGELES — Attorneys for thestate and California’s powerful teachersunions argued in a filing Friday that a

landmark California teacher tenure casewas flawed and should be overturnedbecause no evidence was presentedshowing the disputed statutes are thecause of educational inequalities.

In briefs filed in the state’s SecondDistrict Court of Appeal, atto rneys forthe state, the California TeachersAssociation and the CaliforniaFederation of Teachers contend therewas no “legal or factual justification”in striking down state laws on tenure

and job protection.“This suit was never about helping

students, ” CTA President Dean E. Vogelsaid a statement after the filing. “Aseducators we believe every student hasthe righ t to a caring, qualified and com-

mitted teacher — and that is why we areappealing the judge’s misguided deci-sion.”

The Vergara v. State of Cali fornia rul-ing by Superior Court Judge Rolf M.Treu in June 2014 found five CaliforniaEducation Code provisions — includ-ing policies allowing teachers toreceive tenure within two years and bedismissed during layoffs on the basisof seniority — were unconstitutionalbecause they deprived some of the

state’s 6.2 million students of a qualityeducation. He said the challengedstatutes in particular burdened poor andminority students, and that the evi-dence “shocks th e conscience.”

The case was closely watched and

highlighted tensions between teacherunions, school leaders, lawmakers andwell-funded education reform groupsover whether policies like tenure andlast-in-first-out keep in effective teach-ers in the classroom, particularly inalready low-performing schools. Thelawsuit was filed by ni ne public schoo lstudents, including Beatriz Vergara, andbacked by Students Matter, a n onprofitgroup founded by Silicon Valley entre-preneur David Welch.

FRESNO — For a second cons ec-utive week, thousands of

California farms have been o rderedto st op pumping riv er water to irri-gate their crops as the state grap-ples with its fourth year of drought, officials s aid Friday.

More than 2,700 water-rightsholders — mostly farms — alongthe Sacramento-San Jo aquin Deltaand the Sacramento River havebeen ordered to stop pumping,

said Tim Moran, a spokesman forthe State Water Resources Co ntrolBoard. Last week, more than1,500 farmers along other riversystems in Northern Californiawere forced to s top pumping.

Under California’s century-oldsystem, the junior water-rightsholders receiving the order muststop pumping from rivers so th atthose with higher priority, or sen-ior rights, can continue to irri-gate. The state has warned senior-rights holders that they may alsohave to stop their pumping if thedrought persists.

This is the second consecutiveyear that junior water-rights hold-ers have received such orders. Lastyear, more than 5,000 orders wereissued to farms and other waterusers, officials said.

Gov. Jerry Brown has been criti-cized for leaving farmers out of tightening regulations that forcecommunities throughout the stateto cut back on their water use,Moran said.

“This is really where agricultureis ask ed to sacrifice,” Moran said.“This is where they suffer in thedrought.”

NEW YORK — The stock marketbounced back on Friday as investorspicked up companies that had droppedearlier in the week. Major indexes

recovered nearly all their lo sses froma fall the day before.“It’s an odd day in the markets,”

said Jack Ablin, chief investmentofficer at BMO Private Bank. Thenews out Friday was mostly disap-pointing, he said. Big corporations’earnings reports weren’t all thatgood.

Expedia was an exception. Theonlin e travel company turned in salesthat topped Wall Street’s estimates,driving its stock up $7.46, or 8 per-cent, to $101. 69.

The Standard & Poor’s 500 indexclimbed 22.78 points, or 1.1 percent,to finish at 2,108.29. That’s afterdroppin g 1 percent t he day before.

The Dow Jones industrial average

gained 183.54 points, or 1 percent,to 18,024.06, while the Nasdaq com-posite rose 63.97 points, 1.3 per-cent, to 5,005. 39.

Charlie Smith, chief investmentofficer at Fort Pitt Capital Group, cau-tioned against reading too much intoa day with l ight trading. “The rally isfun,” he said, “but it doesn’t meanmuch.”

The Nasdaq lost 1 .7 percent for the

week as investors sold many of thetechnology companies that have faredwell th is year. Strong gain s for Appleand other tech stocks helped theNasdaq finally topple a record highlast Thursday. So, what changed?

Smith said Apple’s earnings had

something to do with it. Apple is bigenough that its moves can swing theNasdaq higher or lower. Last week,investors bought Apple’s stock inanticipation of another blowout earn-ings report when the tech giantreported results Monday. In the threedays afterward, Apple’s stock lost 6percent.

LinkedIn plunged after the onlinenetworking service warned of weakerearning s in the month s ahead, a resultof the s tronger dollar and the compa-ny’s pending purchase of Lynda.com,an online learning company. Twittercontinued a slump started earlier inthe week when the company turned indisappointing sales and cut its rev-enue outlook . Twitter dropped $1. 12,or 3 percent, to $37.84, whileLinkedIn lost $46.92, or 19 percent,to $205.21.

Roughly a third of all the compa-nies in the S&P 500 reported first-quarter results thi s week, and the newswas mixed. Falling oil prices and arising dollar hammered many of them.Analysts expect companies in theS&P 500 will say overall earningsinched up 0.6 percent compared with

the same period of last year, accord-ing to S&P Capital IQ, a provider of financial information. But revenue isexpected to drop 1.4 percent.

Ablin said that investors arewrestling with a slew of divergingtrends. Recent reports have raised

concerns about the economy’sstrengt h. On Wednesday, the gov ern-ment said that it nearly stoppedgrowing in the first three months o f the year. To some investors that’snot such bad news: Weak economicgrowth could lead the FederalReserve to postpone its plans toraise a key borrowing rate. Recordlow interest rates have helped thestock market soar since the financialcrisis.

“Economic data has recently beendisappointing,” Ablin said, “but thatkeeps th e Fed offstage.”

In Europe, the only major marketopen for t rading was in Britain, wherethe FTSE 100 finished with a gain o f 0.4 percent.

Japan’s Nikkei 225 rose 0.1 per-cent, and Australia’s S&P/ASX 200added 0.4 percent. New Zealand’sbenchmark rose 0.1 percent. Mostmarkets in Asia and Europe wereclosed for the International WorkersDay holiday.

Back in the U.S., government bondprices sank, pushing the yield on the10-year Treasury no te up to 2.1 2 p er-cent from 2.03 percent th e day before.

Small, midsize SUVs driveApril U.S. auto sales gains

DETROIT — In April of 2014, the com-pact Chevrolet Cruze outsold the Equinoxmidsize SUV by more than a t housand vehi-cles. A year later, th e Equinox t rounced the

Cruze by nearly 8,000 in sales.Those numbers pretty much sum up theshift in attitude among U.S. auto buyers: asthey increasingly fall in love with SUVs,small and midsize cars are having a hardertime getting a date.

SUVs and trucks powered U.S. auto salesto a 4.6 percent gain last month, with sev-eral automakers reporting their strongestApril sales ever. The stylish and practicalnew SUVs are pulling people away fromcars, forcing automakers to discount sedansand even furlough workers to co ntrol grow-ing inventories.

A big drop in gas prices, to an average of $2.60 a gallon from $3.69 a year ago, alsoworks in favor o f SUVs.

The Equinox posted a 42 percent salesincrease to almost 29,000 in April, whileCruze sales fell nearly 4 percent to justunder 21,000. Both vehicles are made byGeneral Motors.

The trend played out in oth er automakers’results. Ford’s revamped midsize Edge SUV

posted a 78 percent gain while Focus com-pact sales fell 5 percent. Honda’s CR-V, t hetop-sel ling SUV, po sted a 3 percent gain t omore than 29,000, outselling the midsizeAccord sedan, which saw sales drop 20 per-cent.

U.S. factory activity improvesin April, but hiring declines

WASHINGTON — U. S. factories expan dedin April at the same pace as in March, butmanufacturers are starting to curtail hiringin a possi ble sign of weakness.

The Institute for Supply Management, atrade group of purchasing managers, saidFriday that its manufacturing index was

unchanged at 51.5.The index had dropped in the prior five

months. Still, any reading above 50 sig-nals expansion.

U.S. consumer sentiment riseson optimism over job marketWASHINGTON — Optimism about the

job market lift ed U.S. consumer sen timen tin April to its second-highest level since2007.

The University of Michigan’s sentimentindex rose to 95.9 from 93 in March. OnlyJanuary’s reading of 98.1 has been highersince 2007, the year the Great Recessionbegan. Over the past five months, senti-ment has been, on average, at its highestlevel since 2004.

Richard Curtin, chief economist of theMichigan survey, attributed the Aprilincrease to optimism ov er consistently low

inflation and low interest rates and improv-ing prospects for jobs and incomes.

Berkshire Hathaway’sfirst-quarter profit up 10 percent

OMAHA, Neb. — Warren Buffett’s co mpa-ny says its first-quarter profit jumped 10percent on the strength of its railroad andinsurance businesses.

Berkshire Hathaway Inc. earned $5.16billion, or $3,1 43 p er Class A share, duringthe first three months of 2015. That’s upfrom $4.71 billion, or $2,862 per Class Ashare, last year.

Most major Berkshire subsidiaries per-formed well. Revenue grew 7 percent to$48.6 billion.

Berkshire’s BNSF railroad reboundedfrom last year’s service problems to gener-ate $1.045 billion net income, up from$724 million. Last year, BNSF dealt withsevere cold weather and a backlog of ship-ments in several states.

LAS VEGAS — Five years i n themaking, Floyd Mayweather Jr. andManny Pacquiao meet Saturdaynight in the richest — andarguably most overhyped — fightin the history of the sport.

Their styles have been analyzedendlessly and their minds dissect-ed as much as po ssib le. And it st illremains anyone’s guess just whatkind of fight this will be.

Will Pacquiao score early andoften to beat a fighter who hasnever been beaten? WillMayweather risk standing andtrading punches, or be content touse his defensive wizardry to winfor the 48th straight time?

Will boxing get the fight thehype deserves, and the sport des-perately needs?

The fight is for the welterweightchampionship of the world, but in

reality it’s much more.Mayweather will be risking hislegacy against arguably the bestopponent of his career, whilePacquiao will carry the weight of an entire nation into the ring atthe MGM Grand arena.

“Everyone talks about themoney, the money, the money,”Mayweather said. “I want the fig htto live up to its magnitude. That’swhat it’s really about.”

Whether Mayweather actuallybelieves that or is trying to sell

pay-per-views — at a record priceof $99. 95 — won’t be known untilafter the two men enter the ringsometime after 8 p.m. PDT. In pas tfights he’s worried more aboutprotecting his unblemished recordthan he has p leasing the fans whopay to watch him fight.

But he has clearly bulked up forthis fight, returning to some oldways by chopping up tree trunksto gain muscle. He’s going to bethe bigger fighter in the ring, andhe’s going to have a chance toimpose his will on Pacquiao if needed.

“Floyd Mayweather is going totry and take Manny Pacquiao’shead off,” said Mayweather’s p ro-moter, Leonard Ellerbe. “You cancount on that happening. He’ll doit in a manner where he follows agame plan, but Floyd Mayweatheris looking to finish him off and Istrongly believe that will hap-pen.”

Oddsmakers don’t believe, mak-ing it a 3-1 favorite that the fightwill go at least until late in the12th round. The argument can bemade that Mayweather hasn’tlegitimately knocked out an oppo-nent since he stopped RickyHatton in 2007, and feels no pres-sure to do so with Pacquiao despitea payday that will lik ely be at least$180 million.

“I truly believe I’m the smarterfighter,” Mayweather said. “Hewould be a bett er fighter i f he was-n’t so reckless. It’s a gift and it’s a

curse. He’s won a lot of fights bybeing reckless, but you can be

reckless and get kn ocked out. Andgetting knocked out in a harshway can affect you in the longrun.”

Pacquiao, of course, has beenknocked out, in the harshest of ways. He was on the attack in thesixth round of his December 2012fight with Juan Manuel Marquezwhen a right hand from Marquezleft him face down and uncon-scious on the canvas.

To beat Mayweather, though,Pacquiao will have to risk getting

hit. More importantly, he’ll haveto figure out how to get to

Mayweather without taking bigdamage in return.“He is a lit tle bit b igger but like

David and Goliath, size doesn’tmatter, ” Pacquiao’s t rainer, FreddieRoach said. “We are the betterpuncher and we are faster and havea much better resume.”

For the first time in his career,Pacquiao studied video — and a lotof it — of an opponent. He andRoach spent hours trying to figureout how Mayweather sets t raps forhis opponent, then lures them in

to get hit.They’re prepared for that, but

they’re also prepared if Mayweather becomes a differentfighter in the biggest night of hiscareer.

“I get the feeling they mightstart fast because he’s put a lot of

muscle on,” Roach said. “I thinkhe might try and catch us cold, butthat won’t happen. But I think hewill come out and try to fight us.”

If that happens, it might bebecause the fight took so long tomake. Neither fighter has the samespeed or reflexes they had fiveyears ago, which some believemay play into Pacquiao’s handsbecause Mayweather doesn’t hav ethe legs at the age of 38 to movearound the ring for 12 ro unds.

Assuming t hat proves t rue, th erewon’t be many people complain-ing about paying $10,000 forrings ide seats or th e price of a pay-per-view at home.

“I think for pure boxing people

it’s going to be a fantastic, amaz-ing boxing match,” former heavy-weight champio n George Foremansaid. “I think it’s one that will liveup to all the hype. It really will.”

The fighters themselves tend toagree.

“I’ve never wanted to win a fig htthis bad in my life,” Mayweathersaid.

“I know I’m going to win thefight in the ring,” Pacquiao told acrowd of supporters t his week. “Sorelax.”

Hoping to unearth a KentuckyDerby winner at a p rice?

We got your long shots righthere.

We’re talking t he next Giacomo,who won at 50-1 and returned$102. 60 for a $2 win bet 10 yearsago. We’re talking Mine ThatBird, who won at the s ame odds in2009 and paid $103.20. We’reeven talking Animal Kingdom in2011, who won at 20-1 ($43.9 0),and I’ll Have Another, who wonthe next year at 15-1 ($32.60).

Favorites Orb and CaliforniaChrome came through th e past twoyears, and 5-2 top choiceAmerican Pharoah could make itthree in a row Saturday.

The 19-horse eld is said to beone of the toughest in years, butthere are ve horses at 50-1 odds,ve at 30-1 and two at 20-1 — 63percent of th e eld.

Here goes nothing — or maybesomething big:

1. Frosted, 15-1If trainer Kiaran McLaughlin is

right, he’s got his ho rse pitch per-fect at the right time. So manyissues all seemed to clear up whenthis gray colt won the WoodMemorial by two lengths underhis new rider Joel Rosario — whowon the 2013 Derby with Orb.Good post (No. 14), good trainer,good rider and very wealthy own-ers, Godolphin Racing. Not yourultimate long shot, but double-digit odds are always temptin g.

2. Far Right, 30-1We were lovi ng El Kabeir in t his

spot, but tenderness near his leftfront foo t discovered Friday morn-ing knocks him out of the race. Sowe’ve turned to Far Right, winnerof the Smarty Jon es and Southwestand a distant second to AmericanPharoah in the Arkansas Derby.

The upside is Hall of Famer MikeSmith has the mount. He’s amongthe most tenacious riders in thebusiness, and knows his wayaround Churchill Downs, even

from post No. 19. Smith’s Derbywin came aboard Giacomo in ’05and he’ll be riding in his 21st Runfor the Roses. Trainer RonMoquett is a Derby ro okie b ut hasseemed even-keeled all week.

3. Itsaknockout, 30-1Sold on the name. Plus, don’t

you have to go with at l east one of

trainer Todd Pletcher’s horses? Histop horse is 8 -1 with a lousy post,the other is 12-1 with only threeprevious starts ... so here we are.Plus, who can resist the cross-pro-motion with the Mayweather-Pacquiao ght? Luis Saez aboard?Not great, but he’s 3-for-4 with t hebay colt if you include the victoryin t he Fountain of Youth after rst-place nis her Upstart was DQ’d tosecond for interference in thestretch. He was a distant fourth inthe Florida Derby, but that’s whyhe’s a long shot.

4. Mr. Z, 50-1Why would Hall of Fame trainer

D. Wayne Lukas even enter thiscolt, who has only a maiden win tohis credit? Well, as rival trainerNick Zito likes to say, “If youdon’t run, you can’t even lose.”And with that logic, Lukas’ longshot becomes intriguing. The coltseems to be his own worst enemy— he lugged outside in a race,veered out in another, and what

may have been a last-gasp meas-ure, has been tted with blinkersto keep focused. While he has lost11 in a row, he’s nished in thetop three in seven graded stakeraces, most recently third in theArkansas Derby. And, two of Lukas’ four Derby wins came withlong shots — Charismatic (31-1)in 1999 and Thunder Gulch (24 -1)in 1995.

5. Firing Line, 12-1

Caught! Technically not a truelong shot — b ut we’re hoping h is

odds increase once betting begin s.If not, oh well. Cashing in at cur-rent odds won’t be hard to take.The colt was beaten twice by anose by Dortmund, then won theSunland Derby by 14 1/4 lengths.Jockey Gary Stevens is lookingfor his fourth Derby win, and rstsince 1997 with Silver Charm.

Skyline baseball pulled off the biggestupset of Friday’s Northern Californiaregional playoff openers as the No. 15-seedTrojans downed No. 2 Fresno City 5 -3.

“The ki ds battled,” Skylin e manager DinoNomicos said. “Everybody battled. We hadgreat at-bats. And we’re playing the no. 2team in the state, so that is all the motiva-tion you need.”

Friday’s matchup belonged to a pair of freshman hurlers. Skyline starting pitcherKyle Vallans s oldiered through five i nnin gsto t ake a no decision. RJ Hanson dazzled inrelief through four one-hit shutout inningsto earn the win, as the Trojans (22-15) ral-lied to take the l ead in th eir final at-bat.

In the sweltering 95-degree Fresno heat,Skyline and Fresno City went into the ninthinning t ied 3-3. With one out in th e top of the ninth, Skyline freshman BrettBerghammer sparked the rally with a si ngle.Berghammer proceeded to s teal secon d. Thenwith two outs, Alex Jenkins s ingled to right-center to drive home Berghammer with abang-bang play at the plate.

And the Skyli ne bench erupted on the piv -otal play.

“It went nuts,”Nomicos said. “Thedugout did a great jobtoday staying in thegame.”

With Jenkins movingto second on the throw tothe plate, Phil Caulfieldwas able to deliver aninsurance run with a line-drive single to right. The

knock was Caulfield’s third hit o f the g ame.Skyline capitalized on some shoddy

Fresno City defense to jump on Rams acestarting pitcher Connor Brogdon early. TheTrojans scored one in the first on an infielderror. They added two in the second withFresno City committing two errors in theinning. Fresno City (29-8) committed fourerrors in the game.

But the Rams offense climbed back into i twith single runs in the second, fourth andfifth to tie it agains t Vallans.

“Vallans was very effective,” Nomicossaid. “He gave us everythin g he h ad. He onlythrew 80 pitches, but it was hot.”

Berghammer, Jenkin s and Michael Francoadded two hits apiece for the Trojans. JoeGarabedian paced the Rams with a 2-for-4afternoon.

The best-of-three series will concludeSaturday. Game 2 of the series is slated foran 11 a.m. start. Skyline’s scheduled start-ing pitcher is sophomore Aldo Severson,who threw 8 2/3 inn ings Tuesday to earn thewin against DeAnza in the play-in playoff game. If necessary, Game 3 betweenSkyline and Fresno City will be playedSaturday afternoon.
