Angel City FC falls to OL Reign on late goal in NWSL quarterfinal

• October 21, 2023

By SUSIE RANTZ The Associated Press

SEATTLE — Angel City FC’s remarkable turnaround season came to an end Friday night.

Veronica Latsko scored on a header in the 87th minute to give OL Reign a 1-0 victory over Angel City in a National Women’s Soccer League quarterfinal.

Phoebe McClernon whipped a cross into the box and Latsk soared above Angel City’s Paige Nielsen and M.A. Vignola to score from close range at Seattle’s Lumen Field, giving the Reign its first playoff victory since 2015.

The Reign will head to San Diego to take on the top-seeded Wave in a semifinal match on Nov. 5.

The loss was just the second in 15 games for Angel City under interim coach Becki Tweed, who in June took over a team that was buried near the bottom of the standings and led them to the fifth seed in the 12-team league and their first postseason berth. Playing their fourth game in 18 days, Angel City finally ran out of steam in the final minutes.

The first half was a defensive battle, as two teams squaring off for the fifth time this season combined for just five shots – the fewest in any half of a postseason match in NWSL history.

The Reign took control in the second half. Latsko had a shot ping off the post, and Megan Rapinoe – playing in her final home game after 11 seasons with the Reign – had a hard shot saved in the 53rd minute.

Angel City was held to just one shot in the second half.

“It was difficult. I mean, obviously two really well-organized teams, two teams in form, couldn’t really break each other down. A few chances on either side,” said Rapinoe, a two-time World Cup champion and FIFA World Player of the Year who announced in June that this would be her final season. “But I felt like once the second half started, we started to gain that momentum. It was just a matter of time – took a little bit longer than we would have liked, but eventually got it in the end.”

The game also marked the return of Rose Lavelle in the 64th minute, who had been out with a knee injury since Sept. 3. Just minutes before Latsko’s goal, Lavelle forced Angel City goalkeeper Angelina Anderson to push her shot from distance out for a corner kick.

St. John Bosco football clinches share of Trinity League title by defeating JSerra

• October 21, 2023

St. John Bosco football clinched at least a share of its first Trinity League title since 2018 by defeating JSerra 42-20 in a hard-fought road game in San Juan Capistrano Friday night.

The Braves improved to 8-1 overall and 4-0 in the Trinity League. St. John Bosco will play Orange Lutheran (5-4, 2-2) at Orange Coast College on Oct. 27.

Bosco led 21-10 at halftime and 28-13 heading into the fourth quarter. The Braves scored 14 points in the fourth quarter to pull away to a 42-20 win.

Bosco started the game on offense and led 7-0 midway through the first quarter. However, Bosco trailed JSerra 9-7 early in the second quarter.

Braves senior quarterback Caleb Sanchez responded to the adversity by throwing a touchdown pass to senior receiver Stacy Dobbins, which gave Bosco a 14-10 lead. Sanchez threw another touchdown pass to senior receiver Tommy Maher, which extended Bosco’s lead to 21-10 before halftime.

JSerra (4-5, 1-3) added a field goal early in the second half, which cut Bosco’s lead to 21-13 with 5:29 left in the third quarter. Bosco recovered a muffed punt by JSerra. Bosco senior running back Chauncey Sylvester Jr.’s touchdown run put the Braves up 28-13 with 3:24 left in the third.

JSerra was in a position to make the content a one-score game again but the Lions fumbled a few yards from the end zone. Notre Dame linebacker commit Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa hauled in the fumble recovery.

Sanchez threw another touchdown pass to sophomore receiver Madden Williams, which extended the Braves lead to 35-13 with 9:57 left in the fourth.

Friday’s win was Bosco coach Jason Negro’s 200th career victory, according to Cal-Hi Sports.

NLCS: Thomas’ homer, Moreno’s decisive hit help D-backs top Phillies, even series

• October 21, 2023

By DAVID BRANDT AP Baseball Writer

PHOENIX — Alek Thomas hit a tying, two-run homer in a three-run eighth inning, Gabriel Moreno followed with a go-ahead single and the Arizona Diamondbacks stunned the Philadelphia Phillies with a 6-5 victory on Friday night that tied the National League Championship Series at two games apiece.

Arizona trailed 5-2 before Orion Kerkering’s bases-loaded walk to Christian Walker with two outs in the seventh.

Lourdes Gurriel Jr. doubled leading off the eighth against Craig Kimbrel, who gave up Ketel Marte’s game-ending single in Game 3. Thomas, pinch-hitting for Emmanuel Rivera with one out, sent a full-count fastball splashing into the right-center field swimming pool to tie the score at 5-5 as a sellout crowd of 47,806 at Chase Field roared.

Marte singled with two outs, Corbin Carroll was hit by a pitch and José Alvarado relieved. Moreno laced a single to left-center to drive in the go-ahead run for Arizona.

Kyle Schwarber, whose fourth-inning homer sparked Philadelphia’s comeback from a 2-0 deficit, doubled with two outs in the ninth off Paul Sewald, Arizona’s eighth pitcher. Sewald struck out Trea Turner for his fifth save of the postseason.

Game 5 in the best-of-seven series is Saturday night.

Houston earlier scored three times in the ninth to win, 5-4, at Texas and take a 3-2 lead in the American League Championship Series. It was the first time in major league history two teams rallied to win postseason games on the same day after trailing by two runs or more in the eighth inning or later.

Arizona, in the postseason for the first time since 2017, lost the first two games of the series at Citizens Bank Park. The Diamondbacks built a two-run lead against the defending NL champions on run-scoring singles by Rivera in the second and Moreno in the third.

Schwarber’s homer was his fourth of this postseason and the 19th of his postseason career, passing Reggie Jackson for most among left-handed batters,

Brandon Marsh’s two-out RBI double tied the score in the fifth, and the Phillies opened a 4-2 lead in the sixth after three straight walks by rookie lefty Andrew Saalfrank.

Alec Bohm followed with a chopper down the third-base line off Ryan Thompson. Rivera gloved the ball with a backhand grab that took him into foul territory and made an off-balance throw home from near the coach’s box. The ball short-hopped Gabriel Moreno and bounced off the catcher as two runs scored, one on the hit and one on the throwing error.

Trea Turner added a seventh-inning sacrifice fly.

WEB GEM

Gurriel saved a potential extra-base hit in the second with a leaping catch at the left field wall after a drive by J.T. Realmuto.

ARIZONA ICONS

Former Arizona Cardinals receiver Larry Fitzgerald threw out the ceremonial first pitch. Three-time NBA All-Star Devin Booker was also in attendance, drawing a large cheer when he was pictured on the video board.

KEEPING IT COOL

The retractable roof at Chase Field was closed for Game 4 after temperatures spiked to a record 104 in Phoenix on Friday afternoon. The temperature at game time – 5:07 p.m. PT – was 102 outside, but it was a pleasant 76 in the climate-controlled ballpark.

The roof has been open at Chase Field just once this postseason. That was for Game 3 of the NL Division Series, when the Diamondbacks beat the Dodgers, 4-2, on Oct. 11 for a three-game sweep.

UP NEXT

Philadelphia RHP Zach Wheeler (2-0, 2.37 ERA postseason) starts Saturday night against RHP Zac Gallen (2-1, 4.96 ERA).

LA Kings’ Anze Kopitar asks $37M for Manhattan Beach home with high-tech pool

• October 21, 2023

Los Angeles Kings captain Anze Kopitar has listed his modern smart home on a pedestrian-only road in Manhattan Beach for $37 million.

Sited on a double lot, the 7,604-square-foot residence has a main house and a separate guest house for a total of seven bedrooms and 10 bathrooms. There’s a disappearing pool and spa powered by AKVO Spiralift technology.

The floors lift and lower at the touch of a button to create a courtyard terrace for entertaining or adjust the pool and spa depth without displacing any water. A Lynx kitchen with a pizza oven and two barbecues adds to outdoor amenities.

Records show the two-time Stanley Cup winner and his wife, Ines, bought two neighboring homes in November 2014 for a combined $10 million. The couple replaced the dated structures with this luxury beach compound in 2018.

Now it claims the all-time highest list price in Manhattan Beach.

Tall hedges offer privacy from prying eyes while ocean views abound from different vantage points, including the main house’s two upstairs patios designed for barbeques and relaxing by the outdoor fireplace on dual suspended swing sofas.

The interior has five bedrooms, seven bathrooms and dedicated rooms for movie watching, exercise and office work.

Other amenities include a gourmet kitchen with top-of-the-line appliances, climate-controlled wine storage and a four-stop elevator.

The two-bedroom, two-bathroom guest house has a rooftop deck, plus a poolside bathroom with a shower.

There’s parking for five cars.

Solar panels, Tesla Power Walls and Lutron automatic shades contribute to the efficiency of the home.

June Emerson of Vista Sotheby’s International Realty has the listing.

Slovenia-born Kopitar, 36, captains the LA Kings. The 6-foot-3-inch center got his start with the club in 2007 and is considered “an idol for everybody. An icon,” teammate Kevin Fiala said in a press conference as reported Oct. 20 by the Southern California News Group.

By Oct. 21, he will have become the team’s leader in games played when the Kings take on the Boston Bruins at Crypto.com Arena.

Death of motorcyclist who fled Anaheim police ruled an accident

• October 21, 2023

The in-custody death of a 36-year-old motorcyclist who fled from Anaheim police and later crashed in August was determined to have been accidental and caused from internal injuries sustained in the wreck, according to a critical incident video released by police on Friday, Oct. 20.

On Aug. 17, Clinton Agapinan was riding a motorcycle near Haster Street and Katella Avenue when a nearby patrol car spotted him commit a traffic violation and attempted to perform a traffic stop, Anaheim Police Sgt. Jacob Gallacher said in the video. Police did not specify what the traffic violation was.

Agapinan fled from police, who did not continue their pursuit of the motorcycle, Gallacher said.

A police helicopter called in to locate the suspect spotted the motorcycle about 30 seconds later after it had crashed at the intersection of Katella and State College Boulevard.

Police found Agapinan lying on the curb and attempted to provide medical aid until paramedics arrived, Gallacher said. A handgun was discovered inside his waistband while officers attempted to assist him.

Police did not initially handcuff Agapinan but after refusing to listen to officers’ orders he was handcuffed, according to body-worn camera footage shown in the video.

The handcuffs were later removed, along with his motorcycle helmet, after authorities noticed his health deteriorating and officers unable to find a pulse, Gallacher said.

Agapinan was taken to a hospital, where he later died.

An autopsy conducted by the coroner’s office found that he had suffered from a punctured lung, perforated liver and a lacerated vein caused by blunt force trauma sustained in the crash, Gallacher said. The coroner’s office said the death was accidental.

The department’s Major Incident Review Team and Internal Affairs will continue to investigate the crash to ensure officers followed protocol, and the Orange County District Attorney’s Office is continuing its independent investigation.

National Preparedness Month: Here are the counties with the highest risk

• October 21, 2023

October is National Preparedness Month, so we look at where natural hazards are most likely to occur in the nation and offer a few tips on getting yourself ready.

The map is from the Federal Emergency Management Agency and shows each county’s rating for disaster potential. Most of California’s counties are in the highest ranking mostly due to high fire, earthquake, severe storm and flood risk.

Natural hazards are defined as environmental phenomena that have the potential to impact societies and the human environment. These should not be confused with other types of hazards, such as human-caused hazards. For example, a flood resulting from changes in river flows is a natural hazard, whereas flooding due to a dam failure is considered a human-caused disaster and therefore excluded from the National Risk Index.

Calculating the risk index

Risk index scores are calculated using an equation that combines scores for expected annual loss due to natural hazards, social vulnerability and community resilience.

Risk index scores are presented as a composite score for all 18 hazard types, as well as individual scores for each hazard type.

The 18 natural hazards included in the National Risk Index are:

Avalanche

Coastal flooding

Cold wave

Drought

Earthquake

Hail

Heatwave

Hurricane

Ice storm

Landslide

Lightning

Riverine flooding

Strong wind

Tornado

Tsunami

Volcanic activity

Wildfire

Winter weather

Natural hazards and natural disasters are related but are not the same. A natural hazard is the threat of an event that will likely have a negative impact. A natural disaster is the negative impact following an actual occurrence of a natural hazard in the event that it significantly harms a community.

California is prone to various disasters, most notably those from excessive rain (flooding and other storm damage), fires, and earthquakes.

A few skills to learn

Learn to use a fire extinguisher.

Know how to shut off utilities.

Gas: If you smell gas or hear a blowing or hissing noise, open a window and get everyone out quickly. Turn off the gas, using the outside main valve, if you can, and call the gas company from a neighbor’s home.

Caution: If you turn off the gas for any reason, a qualified professional must turn it back on. NEVER attempt to turn the gas back on yourself.

Water: Water quickly becomes a precious resource following many disasters. It is vital that all household members learn how to shut off the water at the main house valve.

Electricity: Locate your electrical circuit box. For your safety, always shut off all the individual circuits before shutting off the main circuit.
