Logan O’Hoppe’s homer sparks Angels to exhibition rout of Dodgers
- March 26, 2024
LOS ANGELES — As if the stats did not tell the story of how much Logan O’Hoppe needed his mammoth blast in the second inning Monday, his fist pump while leaving the batter’s box most certainly did.
O’Hoppe’s three-run home run started the Angels toward a 6-0 victory over the host Dodgers in the middle game of the Freeway Series. The Dodgers won the opener, 5-3, on Sunday with the finale of the exhibition set for Tuesday night at Angel Stadium.
Angels left-hander Reid Detmers finished off a solid spring with five scoreless innings, giving up three hits with three walks and four strikeouts. Detmers had a 2.45 ERA in five spring outings and appears to be headed toward the No. 3 spot in the rotation and a potential outing Sunday on the road against the Baltimore Orioles.
“Can’t say I felt the best but the result is what I wanted and I got to do it here at Dodger Stadium against the Dodgers and it’s a pretty good feeling,” Detmers said. “Just fastball command was off. The last couple of weeks fastball command hasn’t been the greatest. I’m trying to figure out some stuff with that but everything else was really good.”
For all of his success throughout the outing, the pitch that seemed to resonate the most was a fastball up and in to walk former teammate Shohei Ohtani in the fifth inning. Ohtani let out a sigh of relief as he staggered out of the batter’s box.
“We got a little laugh about it, Shohei was laughing,” Detmers said. “I said ‘I’m sorry.’”
O’Hoppe’s second homer of the spring came off Dodgers right-hander Gavin Stone, who gave up four runs on four hits and a walk in 4⅓ innings with four strikeouts. Stone is projected to make his first start of the season Sunday against the St. Louis Cardinals.
“I thought Gavin was fine, just made a couple mistakes,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. “But there’s not as much scouting in these exhibition games as there will be going forward.”
Dodgers right-hander Daniel Hudson, who had just three appearances last season, gave up two runs while recording both of his outs by strikeout. Hudson made a scoreless appearance in the regular-season opener at South Korea last week against the San Diego Padres and picked up the win.
In addition to his walk, Ohtani grounded out twice against Detmers as he played shortly after addressing the controversy around former interpreter Ippei Mitzuhara, who is accused of draining as much as $4.5 million from Ohtani’s personal account for alleged sports wagering.
The Dodgers’ top three in the order of Mookie Betts, Ohtani and Freddie Freeman combined to go 1 for 8 with a walk. Freeman had the lone hit of the bunch, while Max Muncy had a pair of hits.
ARM WORK
On a busy day, Ohtani also did some light throwing in the outfield before the game, which is believed to be the first time he has town a ball since his elbow surgery in September.
While Ohtani will not pitch for the Dodgers this season following his UCL repair, he did take another step in his rehab by making easy tosses from about 50 feet during a game of catch.
The Dodgers have not ruled out Ohtani playing in the field later this season with Manager Dave Roberts saying he is willing to “have that conversation,” if Ohtani’s rehab is progressing well. The right-hander’s recovery timeline does have him potentially facing hitters in a closed setting by late September of this year.

GETTING CLOSER
Angels right-hander Robert Stephenson is progressing well from right shoulder inflammation and threw from 120 feet. After signing a three-year, $33 million contract in the offseason, Stephenson did not pitch in a Cactus League game.
The 31-year-old delivered a 3.10 ERA in 60 relief outings last season for the Cincinnati Reds and Tampa Bay Rays and is projected to pitch in the late innings in front of closer Carlos Estevez.
In other Angels injury news, right-hander Sam Bachman (shoulder surgery) and left-hander Jose Quijada (elbow surgery) are continuing with their throwing progressions, while infielder Michael Stefanic (quadriceps strain) has resumed light baseball activity. All three remain in Arizona.

Orange County man gets 10 years in prison for DUI crash that killed a Hemet driver
- March 26, 2024
MURRIETA — A 55-year-old man who killed a motorist in a driving under the influence head-on collision in Winchester was bound for state prison Monday to serve a 10-year term behind bars after pleading guilty to felony charges.
Ernest “Sniper” Lugo of Westminster admitted one count each of DUI gross vehicular manslaughter and driving under the influence of controlled substances, with a sentence-enhancing great bodily injury allegation, during a status hearing Friday at the Southwest Justice Center in Murrieta.
Riverside County Superior Court Judge Stephen Gallon imposed the sentence stipulated by the court prior to the plea.
Lugo fatally injured 65-year-old Jose Montanchez Jr. of Hemet in the Oct. 22, 2023, wreck on Domenigoni Parkway at Alamar Mesa Drive.
The California Highway Patrol said that Lugo was at the wheel of a 2016 Chevrolet pickup that entered the eastbound lane of Domenigoni while traveling west at an unconfirmed speed about 7:20 p.m. that Sunday.
“The pickup was going the wrong way,” CHP Officer Jonathan Torres told City News Service at the time. “A 2008 BMW was eastbound on Domenigoni, going the right way, and the pickup collided head-on with the BMW.”
Montanchez’s BMW and the defendant’s pickup both sustained significant damage. Debris from the impact was hurled onto a Nissan sedan trailing the BMW, but damage to that vehicle was minor, according to Torres.
County fire paramedics reached the location minutes later and pronounced Montanchez dead at the scene.
Lugo and his passenger, whose identity was not disclosed, suffered minor injuries and were taken to a regional trauma center for treatment. The defendant was screened for alcohol or drug impairment, and officers verified Lugo had been driving under the influence. He was taken into custody without incident.
The passenger was treated and released from the hospital.

NCAA Tournament: USC women rout Kansas, advance to Sweet 16
- March 26, 2024
LOS ANGELES — Invisible smoke billowed off her hands just a couple minutes into the second quarter, USC’s McKenzie Forbes catching a pass in transition and draining another 3-pointer, coming back in the huddle and blowing on locked-and-loaded finger guns.
There is something to her demeanor, to her shot-making, when moments hang in the balance. When momentum can shift at the drop of the hat. JuJu Watkins is this program’s leading woman, but Forbes is their emotional barometer, her shot-making dropping exclamation point after exclamation point as her face remains expressive as a period.
Forbes was not perfect on Monday night, the second round of USC’s NCAA Tournament push against Kansas. She shot just 6 for 19 from the field to get her 20 points. She racked up six turnovers. But in the most crucial seconds, she was there as she always manages to be, combining with Watkins (28 points, 11 rebounds, five assists) to lead top-seeded USC to a 73-55 victory over eighth-seeded Kansas in front of a jubilant crowd at the Galen Center.
The Trojans (28-5) advanced to face fifth-seeded Baylor (26-7) in a regional semifinal on Saturday in Portland, Oregon. The Bears knocked off fourth-seeded Virginia Tech, 75-72, in their second-round matchup and will present a test for USC with their offensive depth and activity.
Forbes made six 3-pointers in all, each seeming more timely than the last, gesturing to the home crowd at one fourth-quarter stall and single-handedly summoning a swell.
More!
With USC leading by eight early in the second quarter, coming off a steal, Forbes pulled. Bam. Finger-guns.
With USC up by 10, midway through the second quarter, after a scale-tipping Kansas 3-pointer, Forbes pulled. Bam.
With USC up by 11, a couple of minutes later, Forbes caught on the wing and let fly from deep. Bam.
“It’s great to see her shining, especially right now, when the moment’s even – the spotlight’s even brighter,” teammate Kaitlyn Davis said Sunday. “And you can see the whole crowd light up, too, when she hits those shots.”
Davis would know, once fierce rivals in the Ivy League. Around a year ago, exactly, Forbes and Harvard knocked Davis and Columbia out of the Ivy League Tournament; the memory still stung to talk about for Davis, leaning against a locker Sunday with a pained smile.
On Monday night, though, Forbes helped erase a separate unpleasant memory of Davis’ – her Columbia program falling in the WNIT championship last year to Kansas – in beating the Jayhawks (20-13). She buried two more 3-pointers in the third quarter, launching one off-the-bounce transition 3-pointer without any inhibition to extend USC’s lead to 10, coming back in the fourth quarter with two big-time blocked shots to help key a final Trojans push.
USC’s dream season continues, on to the Sweet 16 for the first time since the early 1990s and the days of Cheryl Miller manning the sideline. The Trojans last went this deep when they reached the Elite Eight in 1994, 10 years after the school won the second of its back-to-back national championships.
This USC run, though, has been built as much on the back of stifling defense as the shot-making shoulders of Watkins or Forbes. They swarmed in the first quarter, Rayah Marshall warding off Kansas’ 6-foot-6 force Taiyanna Jackson in the paint and guard Kayla Padilla bumping down in the post with as much ferocity as her 5-9 frame could carry.
Marshall was a force within her minutes early, the frontcourt player’s continued evolution one of the keys to USC’s late-season surge. She had come into Monday with five double-doubles in her last six games; when Jackson tested her on an early hook shot, Marshall swatted it into the stands, walking away with a flex and nose upturned. She finished with four steals and two blocks, and USC forced 11 Kansas turnovers in the first half, taking a nine-point lead on the back of Forbes’ shot-making.
Kansas, though, made a massive push in the third quarter – just as USC head coach Lindsay Gottlieb knew they would. This was a veteran group, coming off the WNIT championship; as USC waited in the tunnel Friday watching Kansas battle Michigan Saturday in overtime, Davis said, the realization came: “Okay, this is March.”
And the Jayhawks mauled their way to a 9-0 run with time ticking in the third, cutting USC’s lead to one, Kansas’ S’mya Nichols attacking the paint with abandon. Watkins, though, flashed a large stop-sign, draining an above-the-break 3-pointer to bottle up Kansas’ momentum and send the Trojans on a 17-2 run that spanned the end of the third and the start of the fourth.
Forbes’ leadership – coming both loud and quiet, a super-senior veteran capable of both calming her words and barking in a shrill tone – reared its head proud in the fourth. After an early-period swat by Forbes, she found a wide-open backup big Clarice Akunwafo underneath on a pretty feed, only for Akunwafo to blow the layup and a subsequent putback.
Back down the floor, Forbes put her arm around Akunwafo in a pick-me-up and whispered in her ear. Poised. Level.
The next possession down, Akunwafo grabbed a Watkins miss and finished a putback.
In the game of her life, Akunwafo dominated the fourth quarter, Gottlieb entrusting her with crucial minutes and the senior junior delivering with a flurry of huge offensive boards. She finished with nine rebounds and six blocks, helping close out Kansas as the crowd erupted over late Watkins makes.
Nichols scored 22 points to lead the Jayhawks, while Taiyanna Jackson had 10 points and 18 rebounds.

NCAA Tournament: UCLA women rally past Creighton to reach Sweet 16
- March 26, 2024
LOS ANGELES — The fourth quarter made all the difference for the UCLA women’s basketball team on Monday night.
Kiki Rice scored 24 points, Lauren Betts had 20 points and 10 rebounds and second-seeded UCLA rallied in the second half for a 67-63 victory over seventh-seeded Creighton in the second round of the NCAA Tournament on Monday night at Pauley Pavilion.
“It was just finding a way,” Rice told reporters after the game. “Take it possession by possession, get a stop and get a score. That’s what we did in the second half. It was just not letting the deficit at halftime take away from our focus and what we needed to execute.”
The Bruins (27-6) trailed by 10 points in the third quarter but outscored the Bluejays 33-21 in the second half to secure the win. UCLA will face third-seeded defending national champion LSU in a regional semifinal on Saturday afternoon in Albany, New York. Top-seeded Iowa and fifth-seeded Colorado are in the other semi.
This is the second consecutive trip to the Sweet 16 for the Bruins after they reached that round a year ago before losing to South Carolina.
Betts, the Bruins’ 6-foot-7 sophomore center, returned to the court after missing the Bruins’ first-round victory over California Baptist with an undisclosed injury.
Rice scored 17 of her 24 points after halftime and Gabriela Jaquez added eight points to go with 11 rebounds for UCLA.
Creighton (26-6) led 44-34 early in the second half before UCLA fought back. The Bruins got back into the game with a 20-7 run that included 11 points by Rice.
“At this point this season, there’s one game and you’re out,” Rice said. “So I just knew that I needed to do whatever I had to do to help my team win.”
The game was tied at 56-all after three quarters but UCLA turned up the defensive intensity and held Creighton scoreless for more than four minutes to begin the fourth quarter while putting together a 7-0 run to surge to a 63-56 advantage on a reverse layup by Rice.
The Bruins’ seven-point lead was shaved to two in the final minutes, but Charisma Osborne drove into the lane for a floater that put the Bruins ahead 67-63 with 1:27 left. The teams then traded empty possessions before UCLA’s Angela Dugalić blocked a Creighton layup and the Bruins forced a jump ball with 3.6 seconds left that gave them possession.
The experience of Creighton’s five senior starters allowed the Bluejays to play in transition and get out front early. UCLA didn’t take its first lead of the game until Rice sank two free throws and a 3-pointer after that with 4:05 left in the first quarter.
The Bruins led 11-10, but only briefly, and scored most of their points on lay-ins and putbacks by Betts. She scored 12 points in the first quarter.
UCLA struggled with Creighton’s off ball screens and transition game during the first half. Creighton went on an 8-0 scoring run sparked by Morgan Maly to start the second quarter, which forced UCLA to call a timeout. Rice scored on a layup coming out of the break and Osborne hit a corner 3-pointer, but the Bluejays continued to shoot with no hesitation to maintain their advantage.
Creighton, which came into the game as the No. 12 team in the nation in terms of 3-pointers per game, shot 7 for 16 shots from behind the arc against the Bruins.
“They’re a fantastic 3-point shooting team that gets contested threes and open threes,” Rice said. “So we knew we had to really run them off the line.”
Jaquez showed her gritty side when she hit two shots in a row with under two minutes until halftime to cut the deficit to eight points. Creighton stayed the course to head into the break with a 42-24 advantage.
“These types of games show you who loves to compete,” Close said, “and Gabriela Jaquez loves to compete.”
UCLA locked in on defense in the third quarter and made shots fall for themselves. Brown jumped up for a block to force a turnover and Jaquez went in for a layup as the Bruins scored six straight points.
“I thought Cam was huge,” coach Cori Close said. “(We have the) ability to go offense-defense with her because she’s such an anchor for us defensively. Holding them to 21 points in the second half was truly remarkable.”
The Bruins forced Maly to miss a 3-point attempt, then Rice tossed a pass to Betts for a layup and a 50-50 tie. UCLA forced Creighton to miss more shots while rebounding and maintaining possession for as long as possible.
Rice continued her takeover and dribbled through the paint for a layup and made two free throws after to bring the score to 54-51. Lauren Jensen hit a 3-pointer for Creighton to tie the score heading into the final quarter.
Creighton, once fearless, was tentative in the waning minutes of the game. The Bluejays shot 13 for 22 from the field in the first half but only 9 for 28 in the third and fourth quarters.
Jensen finished with 20 points and Maly had 18 for Creighton. Emma Ronsiek added 14 points.
“I’m so proud of our team and just can’t say enough about how much joy I get out of coaching them,” Creighton coach Jim Flanery said. “I told them in the locker room, what this group has done is they have made the NCAA Tournament an expectation which is probably something that we haven’t had at Creighton, and that’s a credit to the work that they have put in.”
It was the last time playing in Pauley Pavilion for graduate students Osborne and Camryn Brown, a moment especially significant for Osborne, who decided to return to UCLA for a fifth year.
She currently ranks No. 2 in program history in career points. The top-scoring Bruin with 3,198 points is Denise Curry, who was in attendance for the game.
“The Bruin bubble, the pride, the alumni,” Close said. “It’s probably one of my favorite things about being a coach at UCLA. It really means something. If you represent the four letters across your chest, you are family for life.”
