REDDING - The Pit River Channel Cats wrapped up the regular American Legion baseball season with a skid of four losses in a row - not exactly what you want as you head into the playoff tournament.
However, C-Cats coach Vince DeCoito feels his team can produce well in the playoff tournament, "if we just put seven solid innings together."  He went on to comment after dropping a double header to the Redding Diamond Backs here Sunday, "even though we lost, we proved we can play against them, and I think we can beat them with seven solid frames."
The C-Cats will get a chance to redeem themselves when they come face-to-face with those same D-Backs in the opening tournament game Wednesday at 4 o'clock in Shasta Lake City.
The 'Cats opened their final weekend of league opponents Friday in Susanville against the Renegades, dropping the opener, 10-7 and losing the nightcap, 9-3.
In the opening game, the C-Cats trailed 10-4 heading into the final inning, and mounted a comeback that included getting the tying run at the plate before succumbing to their hosts.
Trey Kramer took the loss, with relief help from Michael Childers.
Childers and Tyler Kirk both had two hits in the game, with Childers lining a double and driving in three runs.

Big Valley’s Morgan Stevenson heading to Illinois...
North Valley Rapids make national softball finals
ROSEVILLE - The North Valley Rapids 18U fastpitch softball team are packing their bags for a flight to Moline, Illinois, after earning one of two California berths in the Fastpitch National Championship set for this Sunday through August 3rd.
Big Valley's ace softball pitcher Morgan Stevenson is a member of the North Valley Rapids, and is looking forward to not only the trip, but the chance to play for the National Championship.
Stevenson just completed her junior year pitching for her Big Valley Cardinals, compiling a stingy 1.330 ERA, striking out 227 batters while walking a mere twenty in 126.1 innings of work.  She finished the year with a .540 batting average and was her leagues MVP.
She is in her fourth season of playing for the North Valley Rapids, "and is very excited about this trip," noted her mother, Sharmie Stevenson.
The family will fly out of Reno this Friday morning to attend the national tournament, retuning home August 3rd.

Game set for Oroville Saturday
OROVILLE - The 2008 football season will once again officially kick off with the 31st Annual Lion's Club All-Star Classic set for Harrison Stadium here this Saturday evening at 7pm.
Recently graduated seniors from throughout northern California will suit up and play college rule football in the annual Classic.

Foothill high coach Bryon Hamilton will mentor the North squad, after leading his Cougars to an undefeated 12-0 season last year and the school's first section championship.  Assisting him are Dean Johnston, Jim Schuette, Roger Wilson, Ted Meredith and Dave DesRochers.
