Lake
monster
Sonya Berry pulled a huge
Mackinaw out of the
depths of Bucks Lake last
Thursday, May 19. She
caught the lake trout in
the Haskins area using a
lead-core line and a quick-
fish lure. Although Berry
didnot have a scale, the
fish was estimated to
weight approximately 25
pounds, judging by its size.

"I released
it. You want
to be able to
let that one
grow, so you
can come
back and
catch it
when it's
bigger."

The Portola High School
baseball team defeated top-
seeded Hamilton 2-1 in the Di-
vision IV semifinal playoff
game May 19 to advance to
the Northern Section champi-
onship last Saturday.
The title match was held at
Butte College last Saturday,
when the fourth-seeded Por-
tola Tigers took on the sec-
ond-seeded East Nicolaus
Spartans. East Nicolaus
edged Portola 3-2 for the
championship.
After a scoreless first in-
ning, East Nicolaus took a 1-0
lead in the bottom of the sec-
ond with a two-out RBI sin-
gle.
East Nicolaus threatened
again in the third inning
with runners on second and
third bases, but Portola's de-
fense held strong and got out
of the inning on a full-count
fly ball.
Portola's two runs came in
the fourth inning. Ricky Low-
dermilk reached first base on
four balls, and then pitcher
Billy Broad connected with a
triple to score Lowdermilk.
Catcher Klint Williams de-
livered Portola's other RBI
with another triple to score
Broad, giving the Tigers a 2-1
lead.
Portola's one-run advan-
tage lasted through a score-
less fifth inning, when the
Tigers' defense retired three
straight batters.
In the bottom of the sixth
inning, East Nicolaus
brought one runner across
the plate to tie the game 2-2.
Clinton Morris earned a
lead-off single for Portola on
a full count in the seventh in-
ning, but that was to be Por-
tola's third and final hit of
the game.
East Nicolaus won the
game in the final inning by
recording three hits and scor-
ing the go-ahead run on a
bunt. The Spartans finished
with Ii hits on the day.
Broad pitched 5-2/3 innings
for Portola before being re-
lieved by Morris with two
outs in the sixth inning. Se-
nior Jarrod Fleischer was
brought in to pitch for the
Tigers in the final inning
with runners on first and
third.
Portola 2, Hamilton 1
The Portola Tigers ad-
vanced to the section champi-
onship by going on the road
and eliminating Hamilton,
the No. 1 team in Division IV.
Portola took a 1-0 lead in
the second inning, but then
Hamilton tied it 1-1 in the
fourth.
The Tigers scored their
game-winning run in the top
of the seventh and final in-
ning.
Fleischer and Williams
generated Portola's two RBIs,
with Fleischer hitting a dou-
ble and Williams hitting a
triple.
Other hits for Portola were
registered by Lowdermilk,
Piero Selvaggio and Will
Marquette.
Selvaggio and Marquette
scored Portola's two runs.
Lowdermilk was Portola's
winning pitcher, facing 20
batters over six innings and
giving up just one run, with
three strikeouts and no
walks.
Broad pitched one inning,
retiring three batters.
The Portola Tigers end
their season with an overall
record of 15-8 and league
record of 4-2, finishing as the
Division IV runners-up in the
Northern Section.
