    crests inMemphis

    MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) The Mississippi River crestedin Memphis at nearly 48 feettoday, falling short of its all-time record but still soakinglow-lying areas with enoughwater to require a massivecleanup.

    National Weather Servicemeteorologist Bill Borghoffsays the river reached 47.85feet at 2 a.m. CDT today andis expected to stay very closeto that level for the next 24to 36 hours. Hitting the highpoint means things shouldntget worse in the area, but itwill take weeks for the waterto recede and much longer forinundated areas to recover.

    Pretty much the damagehas been done, Borghoffsaid.

    The crest is below therecord of 48.7 feet recordedduring a devastating 1937flood in Memphis.

    The soaking was isolatedto low-lying neighborhoods,and forced hundreds of peoplefrom their homes, but no newserious flooding was expect-ed. Officials trusted the leveeswould hold and protect the

    citys world-famous musicallandmarks, from Graceland toBeale Street.

    The levees are perform-ing as designed Im happyto report, Army Corps ofEngineers Col. VernieReichling Jr. said today onCBSs The Early Show.

    Still, the corps Memphiscommander added: I thinkwell breathe a sigh of reliefonce this crest has passed andis in the Gulf of Mexico.

    Surrounding Shelby Countyand four others were declareddisaster areas by PresidentBarack Obama late Monday.The designation means that

    theyll be eligible for federaldisaster aid, which local offi-cials say is much-needed.

    Bob Nations Jr., director ofthe Shelby County EmergencyManagement Agency,described on Monday what heexpects to be slow and cost-ly retreat by the high water:Theyre going to recedeslowly, its going to be ratherputrid, its going to be expen-sive to clean up, its going tobe labor-intensive.

    To the south, residents inthe Mississippi Delta preparedfor the worst. Farmers builthomemade levees to protecttheir crops and engineers

    diverted water into a lake toease the pressure on leveesaround New Orleans. Inmatesin Louisianas largest prisonwere also evacuated to higherground.

    Marshal: Flight suspect tried to open cockpit doorBy TERRY COLLINS

    and MARCUS WOHLSENThe Associated Press

    SAN FRANCISCO A man who was arrestedafter causing a disturbanceon a San Francisco-boundAmerican Airlines flighttwice tried to open the cock-pit door, the second time aftera crew member told him that

    the restroom was to his left, afederal air marshal said in acourt affidavit.

    Rageh Al-Murisi is sched-uled to appear in court todayon a charge of interferingwith flight crew membersand attendants.

    In the court affidavit filedon Monday, Air Marshal PaulHoward said after being toldthat wasnt the restroom,Al-Murisi made eye contactwith the crew member, low-

    ered his shoulder and rammedthe door. The crew mem-ber told Howard he then gotbetween Al-Murisi and thedoor, but Al-Murisi kept yell-ing and pushing forward inan attempt to open it, accord-ing to the affidavit.

    Al-Murisi, 28, of Vallejo,Calif., was subdued by thecrew member and several pas-sengers, including a retired

    Secret Service agent and aretired San Mateo police offi-cer, and taken into custodyafter the flight landed safelyaround 9:10 p.m. Sunday atSan Francisco InternationalAirport, according to authori-ties.

    Al-Murisi went toward thecockpit door about 20 min-utes before the flight fromChicago was supposed toland, according to Howardsaffidavit. He was yelling

    unintelligibly as he brushedpast a flight attendant, wit-nesses said.

    Passengers said they satstunned as they watched aman walk quickly toward thefront of American AirlinesFlight 1561 as it was descend-ing toward San Francisco.He was screaming and thenbegan pounding on the cock-pit door.

    I kept saying to myself:Whats he doing? Does hehave a bomb? Is he armed?passenger Angelina Martysaid.

    Another shocked passen-ger, Andrew Wai, thought,Could this be it? Are wegoing down?

    Marty, 35, recalledMonday that she and otherpassengers on the planewere stunned when they sawAl-Murisi walking down the

    aisle. She said a woman ina row across from her whospeaks Arabic interpretedthat Al-Murisi said God isGreat! in Arabic.

    Wai, 27, also rememberedon Monday that the wife ofone of the men who tookAl-Murisi down later saidAl-Murisi was yelling thesame: Allahu Akbar.

    There was no question

    in everybodys mind that hewas going to do something,Marty said.

    While Al-Murisi has noclear or known ties to ter-rorism, authorities said, andinvestigators have not estab-lished a possible motive, theskirmish underscored fearsthat extremists might try tomount attacks to retaliatefor the death of al-Qaidaleader Osama bin Laden lastweek. See FLOOD, page 2

    WASHINGTON President Barack Obama ismaking his first trip as presi-dent to the U.S.-Mexico bor-der, using the setting to sharp-en his call for a remake ofthe nations immigration lawsand try to cast the GOP as theobstacle standing in its way.

    The presidents speech inEl Paso, Texas, today, andhis visit to a border cross-ing there, are the latest high-profile immigration events byObama, who has also hostedmeetings at the White House

    recently with Latino lawmak-ers, movie stars and others.It all comes despite an unfa-

    vorable climate on CapitolHill, where Republicans whocontrol the House have shownno interest in legislation thatoffers a pathway to citizen-ship for the nations 11 mil-lion illegal immigrants.

    Thats led to criticism thatObamas efforts are little morethan politics in pursuit of theever-growing Hispanic elec-torate ahead of the 2012 elec-tion. White House officialsdispute that. They acknowl-edge the difficulties in gettinga bill but say its likelier tohappen if the president cre-

    ates public support for immi-gration legislation, leading topressure on Republican law-

    makers.We already know from

    the first two years, the lastCongress, that there was polit-ical opposition to compre-hensive immigration reform,including from some placeswhere there used to be politi-cal support, said presidentialspokesman Jay Carney. Weare endeavoring to changethat dynamic by rallying pub-lic support, by raising publicawareness about the need forcomprehensive immigrationreform.

    At the same time, the strat-egy allows Obama to highlightthat Republicans are standing

    in the way of an immigrationbill shifting responsibilityaway from himself at a timewhen many Latino activistssay he never made good onhis campaign promise of pri-oritizing immigration legisla-tion early on.

    Obamas spotty immigra-tion record in the eyes ofLatino voters makes it all themore politically imperativefor him to shore up their sup-port with his re-election cam-paign approaching.

    Whats different from2008 is that there are moreHispanics and more millen-nials in the electorate overall.Latinos are even a bigger share

    than they were in 2008, saidSimon Rosenberg, a formerClinton White House strate-

    gist who follows immigrationpolicy as head of the left-of-center NDN think tank.Millennials is a term forpeople born after 1980.

    More Latinos than evervoted in the 2010 midtermelections, according to the PewHispanic Center, accountingfor almost 7 percent of thosevoting. Still, turnout amongHispanic voters is far lowerthan among other groups, giv-ing Obama a reason to wantto try to motivate them. Hespicked hostile political terri-tory to make his pitch, visit-ing a state he lost by morethan 10 percentage points in

    2008. But the trip does haveone overtly political upside:Obama plans a side trip tothe relatively liberal bastionof Austin to raise moneyfor the Democratic NationalCommittee at two fundraiserstoday night.

    At the same time, Obamais pitching his immigrationargument to the larger pub-lic, and hes refining it in away that goes to Americanspocketbook concerns. WhiteHouse officials say Obamawill emphasize the economicvalue of reforming immigra-tion laws, noting that immi-grants account for a substantialshare of business start-ups and

    patent applications, amongother things activities thatcreate jobs for everyone.

    WASHINGTON Unlikely as it may seem,President Barack Obamaand Republicans in Congressactually share some common

    ground on the need to curbMedicare costs to fight thespiraling federal debt.

    Although the House GOPplan to replace Medicarewith a voucher-like systemgot shunted aside last week,that may not be the end ofthe story. Embedded in boththe Republican plan and inObamas counter-proposal isthe idea of putting limits onthe growth of the half-trillion-dollar-a-year program andthen enforcing them.

    High-level deficit negotia-tions resume today under thestewardship of Vice PresidentJoe Biden, and tackling health

    care spending is critical towhat could become the yearsmost important legislation.

    The two sides differ sharp-ly on how that should be done.Obama says the GOP wouldleave frail seniors at the mercyof profit-driven insurancecompanies. Republicans saythe president would empowerunaccountable bureaucrats toration care.

    If they can meet in the mid-dle on the idea of an enforce-able limit, it could open thedoor for major changes. Overtime, that could mean lessmoney for hospitals, doctors,drug companies and otherproviders and higher out-of-pocket expenses for many

    retirees.Health care costs of an

    aging American populationare the biggest challengefacing Biden and the deficitnegotiators. Tiptoeing aroundthe politically volatile issuewont impress financial mar-kets that are nervous overthe $14 trillion national debt.Red ink ballooned as a conse-quence of two wars, tax cutsand the recession, and thegovernment now is borrowingabout 40 cents of every dollarit spends.

    Were at a point wherewe really need to get a solu-tion, said Rep. Dave Camp

    of Michigan, whose job aschairman of the Ways andMeans Committee makes himthe top House Republicanon Medicare. In other timeswhen weve had this debate,we havent had the debt cri-sis.

    Medicare is the largestsingle bill payer in the $2.5trillion U.S. health care sys-tem. The way it works now,

    annual increases in the costof care for 47 million elderlyand disabled people basicallyget passed on to taxpayers. Ifspending surges in one part ofthe program, officials try totamp it down in future years,like budgetary whack-a-mole.

    Obamas approach and

    the House GOP budget byRep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsinwould both try to limit theamount of taxpayer moneygoing into Medicare.

    Its a tricky thing. If thelimit is too tight, the welfareof millions of people couldbe jeopardized, to say noth-ing of the political careers ofproponents. Too loose, andits meaningless.

    They are both sayingMedicare has to be on a bud-get, said economist EugeneSteuerle of the Urban Institutethink tank. But each of themis also saying it has to be mytype of system on a budget,

    and not your type of system.Ryans plan would provide

    a fixed payment for everyonenow 54 or younger to pur-chase a private insurance planonce they hit 65 and becomeeligible for Medicare. Aftergetting an earful from con-stituents, GOP leaders backedaway from pushing for Ryansoverhaul, but still left it on thetable.

    WASHINGTON VicePresident Joe Biden andSecretary of State HillaryRodham Clinton launchedhigh-level talks with theChinese on Monday by point-edly criticizing Beijingscrackdowns on democracyadvocates, arguing that long-term stability depends onrespecting human rights.

    At the same time, theworlds two biggest economiesclashed over Americas mas-sive trade deficit with China.Treasury Secretary TimothyGeithner said it would be inChinas self-interest to allowits currency to appreciate at a

    faster rate and allow Chineseconsumer interest rates to rise.The stronger yuan and higherChinese interest rates wouldhelp boost domestic demandand help lower Americas tradedeficit, which hit an all-timehigh with China last year.

    But a Chinese officialblamed U.S. policies forthe ballooning trade gap.Commerce Minister ChenDeming told a news confer-ence that Chinas currencyappreciation was being carriedout in a very healthy man-

    ner. He said the United Statesneeded to change its own poli-cies on high-tech sales andinvestment as a way to spur

    American manufacturing.The sparing occurred as thetwo nations began two daysof talks aimed at addressingdisputes in foreign policy andeconomic areas under discus-sions that began in 2006 dur-ing the Bush administration.Both countries hoped to usethe Strategic and EconomicDialogue discussions to fur-ther ease tensions that hadbeen inflamed by last yearsU.S. arms sales to Taiwan andAmerican unhappiness over arising U.S. trade deficit withChina at a time of high U.S.unemployment.

    President Barack Obama,who served as host for Chinese

    President Hu Jintao duringa state visit in January, wasmeeting with the leaders ofthe Chinese delegation at theWhite House later Monday.No major breakthroughs areexpected.

    Biden and Clinton jointlyraised the human rights issueduring opening ceremonies.They noted the large numberof arrests that have occurredin China with the governmentdetaining lawyers, activists, journalists and bloggers in acrackdown widely viewed as

    a Chinese response to fore-stall any Middle East-styledemocracy protests.

    Biden said that Obama

    believed strongly that protect-ing fundamental rights andfreedoms was the best wayto promote the long-term sta-bility of any society.

    Clinton said that Chinasactions on human rights hadan impact beyond its ownborders, including triggeringa domestic political backlashin the United States.

    State Counselor DaiBingguo, one of the leaders ofthe Chinese delegation, saidin his opening remarks thatChina had made progress inthe area of human rights, buthe did not discuss the recentsecurity crackdown.

    This years talks for the

    first time included high-level military leaders fromboth nations, a move seenas a way to defuse tensionsand increase understandingbetween military command-ers. Clinton said the inclusionof top military leaders wasneeded to reduce dangerousrisks of misunderstanding andmiscalculation. Chinas mili-tary has expanded rapidly inthe past 15 years, deployingmissiles and naval assets thatcould challenge Americansupremacy in the region.

    AUSTIN, Texas (AP) Republicans in the TexasSenate on Monday approvedallowing concealed handgunlicense holders to carry weap-ons into public college build-ings and classrooms, movingforward on a measure that hadstalled until supporters tackedit on to a universities spend-ing bill.

    Sen. Jeff Wentworth, R-SanAntonio, had been unable tomuster the votes he neededunder Senate rules to pass theissue as its own bill after themeasure met stiff resistancefrom higher education offi-cials, notably from within theUniversity of Texas system.

    The measure seemed allbut assured easy passage whenthe legislative session beganin January. The Senate hadpassed a similar bill in 2009and about 90 lawmakers inthe 150-member House hadsigned on in support this year.But the bill stalled on its firstthree votes in the Senate andtook some maneuvering byWentworth to get it through.

    Supporters hope Mondaysvote will help shove the mea-

    sure past a roadblock in theHouse, where a similar billhas been stuck without a votein that chamber with just a fewweeks left in the legislativesession.

    Campus carry has moremomentum than a run-away freight train, said W.Scott Lewis of Students forConcealed Carry, a nationwidegroup backing the measure.

    The Senates 12 Democratshad mostly worked as a blockto stop the measure but werepowerless to stop it on Mondaywhen all it took was a simplemajority in the 31-memberchamber to get it added to thespending bill as an amend-

    ment.At that point, Wentworth

    even picked up an extra votefrom Rep. Steve Ogden,R-Bryan, who had previouslyopposed the measure.

    Even with large numbers insupport, the campus guns mea-sure quickly boiled into one ofmost controversial issues ofthe session.

    Supporters call it a criti-cal self-defense measure andguns rights issue. UT-SystemChancellor Francisco Cigarroawrote lawmakers and Gov.Rick Perry outlining worriesfrom university officials thatguns on campus will lead to

    more campus crime and sui-cides.Hearings on the measure

    were dominated by powerfultestimony from supporters whohad been raped or assaulted oncollege campuses, and severalpeople who had survived the2007 mass shooting at VirginiaTech University when a gun-man killed 32 people.

    Sen. Judith Zaffirini,D-Laredo, who was a studentat the University of Texas in1966 when sniper CharlesWhitman killed 12 people andwounded dozens of others,vigorously argued against theguns measure.

    She predicted mass chaos

    if police respond to a call andfind several people with gunsdrawn.

    I cant imagine the horrorsif this passes, Zaffirini said.

    Wentworth was unmoved.He recalled the shooting atVirginia Tech and said hewants to give students a chanceto defend themselves.

    There was no one there todefend themselves in a gun-free zone that was a victim-rich zone, Wentworth said.Im trying to avoid that typeof situation.

    DELPHOS NeitherJefferson nor Kenton got muchgoing at the plate in their non-league baseball encounter ona sunny and pleasant Mondayafternoon at Wildcat Field inDelphos.

    It ended up being morepatience at the plate than any-thing that decided the game asthe Jeffcats rallied with thereruns in the fourth and held offthe visiting Wildcats 3-2.

    A brief ceremony after thegame honored four Jeffersonseniors playing their homefinale: Nick Cook, NikMoore, Ben Babcock andJordan Vorst.

    Kenton (3-17) held a 2-0lead in the bottom of thefourth when the Jeffcats (10-9) came to the dish. Beforethen Alex Kissling (1-1; 31/3 innings, 1 hit, 6 walks,7 strikeouts, 3 earned runs)had limited the hosts to threebaserunners but then lost hiscontrol. Tony George singledpast third baseman ZachWolowicz to start it off, stolesecond and went to third ona wild pitch. Curtis Millerwalked and burgled second.Justin Rode (2 walks) walkedto load them up. An out later,consecutive free passes toJeff Schleeter and Vorst plat-ed George and Miller to tieit at 2-2. Tyler Dennis came

    on in relief and Mike Josephgreeted the left-hander witha fly ball deep enough tocenter to get Rode home forthe eventual game-winner.Dennis retired the next batterbut the damage was done.

    Schleeter (2-1; 5 IPs, 4hits, 2 unearned runs, 3 bas-es-on-balls, 6 Ks) then retiredthe Kenton side in the fifth.

    Its been a while sinceJeff started a game and forhim to give us five inningstonight was a great effort.They didnt hit him real-ly hard overall; they onlybunched hits together a cou-ple of times but he pitchedout of jams, Jefferson coach

    Jeff Schleeter noted. Weplayed good defense behindhim in general, which wehave done most of the year.We didnt get a lot going atthe plate and that concernsme. We should be peakingwith our bats now, thoughKissling was a better pitcher

    than we usually face in ournon-league games. I felt wegot outplayed but thats whenyou have to find ways to winand we did.

    Jefferson missed anopportunity to add to its leadin the home half. Cook ledoff with a base hit to rightbut was picked off base byKissling (now at catcher)after a brief rundown. Anout later, Miller got on viaan error and advanced on awild pitch. Rode was plunkedand another wild one put

    runners at second and third.However, Dennis fanned thenext batter.

    Alex just ran out of gas.He hasnt pitched the lasttwo years we had him atcatcher and hes had someinjury problems off an on.This is only the third timehes pitched, so he didnthave the stamina, Kentoncoach Brent Fackler said.For us, its been the sameold story. We get good pitch-ing but our offense doesntproduce. Weve lost a lot ofclose games, to good teamslike Wapak, Defiance andShawnee. A timely hit hereor there would make a world

    of difference.Moore (first save) came

    on in relief and retired thevisitor side in the sixth.

    With one out in theDelphos sixth, Vorst singledto center, stole second andmoved up on a bounceoutto short by pinch-hitter Kyle

    Anspach. However, theJeffcats couldnt get him in.

    Kenton tried to mounta challenge in the seventh.Dennis singled hard in leftand Casey Rawlins walked.However, a fly ball and apunchout left it up to DustinZachariah to try and extendthe game. His bouncer upthe middle was snagged byMoore coming from his short-stop position and he threwover to Miller at first to getthe final out.

    Kenton attempted to get on

    board first in the first with a1-out knock by Caleb Halseybut he was caught stealingby Rode. Brice Fackler sin-gled into right, stole secondand got to third on a wildpitch but Kissling was struckout by Schleeter to end thethreat.

    The guests got their onlytwo runs in the second.Wolowicz walked to lead itoff and swiped second. Denniswalked. An error on a pick-off play to second allowedboth runners to move up. Anout later, Brennan Rolanderpopped up to short centerfield; Cook (playing second)caught it but his momentum

    carried him farther out, allow-ing Wolowicz to easily scoreand send Dennis to third; anerror on the play allowed himto score.

    Delphos got Rode aboardwith one down in the secondon a walk and he stole sec-ond an out later. He was left

    there.They again mounted a

    challenge in the third. Vorstled off with a grounder thatwas booted and stole secondan out later. Moore walked.However, a 6-4-3 double playended the inning.

    Kenton again had a chancefor a big inning in the fourth.Kissling led off with a knockto left but was thrown out byRode on an attempted bur-glary. Wolowicz singled upthe gut, stole second and wentto third on a 2-out wild pitch.Rawlins walked. However,Rolander flied out to left-fielder Drew Kortorkax toend that uprising.

    At one point, we were3-7. We have twice playedto go over .500 and couldntget the win but tonight wedid, Geary added. Six ofour losses were by one or tworuns. Though Kenton didnthave a great record, they arestill underrated; they are aWestern Buckeye Leagueteam, so its still a good winover a quality opponent. Weplay Lincolnview next andour goal all along was to fin-ish in the top half of theNorthwest Conference. Wego in at 4-4.

    CONVOY Wayne Traceand Fort Jennings were in themidst of a competitive first-round sectional baseball battle

    Saturday when Mother Naturehad other ideas and postponedthe remainder of the gameuntil Monday afternoon, withthe Musketeers down 3-1.

    The change of day didntchange the Musketeers shakydefense and lack of produc-tion offensively as they fell6-1.

    The Raiders were the visi-tors on the scoreboard andplated a run early Saturday.With one out in the top of thefirst, Cade Harvey singled upthe middle against Musketeersleft-hander Cody Warnecke tobring up Ashton Duer, whoadded a single of his own.Gage Critten followed suit

    and singled up the middle todrive home Harvey to take the1-0 lead.

    Ft. Jennings answered witha run in the bottom of thefirst. Unfortunately for them,it would be the only runthey scored on the afternoon.Leadoff hitter Brad Trentmanreached on a single to right andKurt Warnecke stepped up nextand mimicked Trentman witha single to right. Nolan Neidertgrounded into a fielderschoice, eliminating Warneckeat second. Jared Calvelagedrew a walk to load the basesfor Tyler Good. Good tied thegame up with a sacrifice fly toright before Duer could get out

    of the inning with the gametied 1-1.

    The top of the second illus-trated a theme for the remain-der of the game Ft. Jenningsstruggling defensively andWayne Trace taking fulladvantage of it. With twoouts, Tim Willborn singledto bring up Dylan Horner.Both Horner and the next bat-ter, Harvey, reached on errors,allowing two unearned runs toscore in giving the Raiders the3-1 edge.

    Neither team scored inthe third when rains startedand postponed the game withWayne Trace leading 3-1heading into the top of the

    fourth.Ft. Jennings head coach

    Jeff Swick hoped the changeof pace created by the breakwould help his team improvedefensively and find an answerto Duer on the hill.

    Coming back, I thoughtmaybe a change would help.They were loose and we cameout a little tight and didntquite get on a roll. Duer gotlocked in and he got a lot of

    confidence with his curve balland got us off-balance, saidSwick.

    Wayne Trace scored a runin the top of the fourth whena Harvey sacrifice fly broughtWillborn across the plate.

    Duer did not skip a beat on

    Monday as he sliced his waythrough the Musketeer lineup,collecting the win. The left-hander went the distance inallowing one run on three hits,striking out four and walkingfour.

    Wayne Trace head coachBill Speller was pleased withDuers performance and wasquick to give praise to hiscatcher, Ryne Jerome, for hiswork behind the plate.

    Ashton pitched a greatgame today, or the last coupledays actually. Our catchercalled a fabulous game andkept them off-balance. Weplayed solid D behind himfor the most part and when we

    did make mistakes, we didntlet it hurt us, said Speller.

    With the 4-1 lead headinginto the top of the seventh, theRaiders tacked on two ever-important insurance runs.Harvey led off with a double,bringing up Duer, who washit by a pitch while attemptingto lay down a sacrifice bunt.With one out, Broc Forrer hita grounder to third, Harveytook a few steps toward homeand Musketeer third basemanKurt Warnecke threw hometo cut him off. When Harveyretreated to third, the relaythrow was wide and wentinto left field, scoring the run.Duer came in to score the

    second run of the inning on aJerome RBI ground out.

    Duer sat Ft. Jennings downin order in the bottom of theseventh to secure the 6-1 vic-tory.

    The Raiders notchedeight hits in the game, takingadvantage of four Ft. Jenningserrors.

    Coach Swick was disap-pointed with his teams strug-gles defensively in the game.

    You cant have moreerrors than you have hits.Youre going to lose ball-games like that, addedSwick. The things you cancontrol are making the playsand thats the bottom line.

    We stress that and we workon that every day. Today, wedidnt do the things we shouldand we deserve to get beatwhen we play like that.

    The loss eliminates Ft.Jennings from the tournamentand drops its record to 6-6 onthe season.

    RURAL MIDDLE POINT- Led by Emily Schnipkes2-hit complete game andaided by several Lincolnviewmiscues, the Kalida LadyWildcats captured a DivisionIV sectional championship onMonday, defeating the LadyLancers by the score of 6-2.

    Kalida will advance in thepostseason bracket to facePerry on May 18 in Elida. Thewin pushes the Lady Wildcatsto 5-7 on the season.

    Lincolnview falls to 4-11on the season. The LadyLancers will return to actionon Thursday at home againstJefferson.

    Mondays contest atLincolnview opened with allthe makings of a pitchersduel. The Lady LancersAshley McClure and KalidasSchnipke were both dealingearly, making it extremelydifficult on opposing hitters tofeel comfortable at the plate.

    McClure mowed throughher first two innings of workwith little problem, facingonly seven batters and strik-ing out two. Schnipke, on theother side, faced eight battersin the opening two innings,fanning four and walkingtwo.

    Neither team would scoreuntil the third inning, whena bevy of Lincolnview errorswreaked havoc on the night.After McClure induced a lin-

    eout to open the frame, aLancer error allowed KaylaSiefker to reach base. Siefkermoved to third on a ground-out by Julia Vandemark andSummer Holtkamp walked toput runners on the corners.

    Only a few pitches later,Holtkamp broke for second ona steal attempt but the throwfrom catcher Kaylyn Verhoffeluded both the shortstopand second baseman and thatallowed Holtkamp to moveto first and Siefker to score.The following batter, AmySmith, reached on yet anotherLincolnview error later in the

    inning and Holtkamp scoredto make it a 2-0 game.

    I dont know how manytimes this year weve had twoouts and just couldnt get thelast out, said Lincolnviewhead coach Kent McClure.Again, you take one at-bataway or a few errors and thisis a different game. Its thistime of the year and its theend of the season, so we haveto be on top of our game.Defensively, we just have to

    make the play.The same story replayed

    itself in the fifth inning forKalida, as the Lady Wildcatsplated another two runs on apair of Lincolnview errors.Vandemark and Smith eachscored runs in the inning,with Smith coming homeon an error and Vandemarkplating on a passed ball.Vandemarks presence wasparticularly impressive forKalida, as the Lady Wildcatshortstop slapped a ball intoleft field over the heads ofthe entire drawn-in outfieldof Lincolnview. Vandemark

    ended up with a triple forher efforts and the hit alsoprovided a big spark for herteam.

    We took away their left-handers most of the gameand Id like to see how manytimes she could do thatagain, said McClure. Shesa real nice player, though,and speed kills. For both ofus, speed kills. Their speedgave them the lead and ourspeed brought us back. We

    just couldnt close it out. Webattled and stayed right withthem but couldnt quite getthere.

    As her teammates con-tinued to capitalize onLincolnviews defensivestruggles, Schnipke contin-ued to deal on the mound forKalida. Schnipke faced onlytwo batters over the minimumthroughout the rest of the con-test and had a no-hitter intactthrough 4.1 innings.

    I thought the pitching wasgood on both sides, notedMcClure. Schnipke wasgood and Ashley was good.

    Schnipke is a nice pitcher.Shes not overpowering butshe spots the ball well. Hermotion is slow but the ballzips out of her hand. Shechanges speeds well and

    she works outside. And herdefense made a couple of niceplays behind her.

    Lincolnview did score itsfirst run in the third inning,when Jodie Doner walked,stole second and third, thenplated on an errant throwattempting to pick her off atthird.

    An RBI single by Doner inthe fifth inning added anotherrun but the Lady Lancers stilltrailed 4-2.

    Kalida added its final tworuns in the top of the seventhinning, scoring what appearedto be meaningless insuranceruns.

    However, in the bottom

    of the seventh, Lincolnviewmade a charge. After aninning-opening punchout,Carley Springer walked andLauren Calvert and KaitlynBrant both reached on errors toload the bases. Unfortunatelyfor Lincolnview, the Kalidadefense regrouped and a forceat home and a short foul-out to first baseman MichelleJorrey sealed the fate of theLady Lancers.

    Schnipke threw a completegame for Kalida in the contest,her second such 2011 postsea-son outing. She allowed twohits, one earned run, walkedsix and struck out six.

    McClure also went a com-

    plete game for Lincolnviewin the loss. She allowed sixhits, four walks and fannedfour batters. Of the six runsshe allowed, only two wereearned.

    Kalidas Jorrey hadtwo hits to lead all batters.Vandemarks triple and adouble from Schnipke aidedthe damage.

    Lincolnview receivedbase knocks from Doner andCalvert.

    BOSTON LeBronJames, Dwyane Wade andChris Bosh are on the vergeof doing something togetherthat neither of them couldaccomplish on his own.

    Miamis Big Threecombined for 83 pointsas the Heat beat Boston98-90 in overtime onMonday night to movewithin one game of theEastern Conferencefinals. James scored 35,Wade had 28 and the

    threesome also com-bined for 35 of Miamis45 rebounds.

    Were the guys.Were the ones who getall the attention. Were theones that get all the praise,Wade said. This team isgoing to go as far as us threetakes it.

    One game after their worstperformance as a threesome,James, Wade and Bosh hadone of their best. They scoredall 12 of Miamis points inovertime; Bosh and Wade hadfive apiece after James fal-laway jumper on the Heatsfirst possession of the extraperiod gave them the lead for

    good.The Heat lead the best-

    of-seven East semifinals3-1, with a chance to closeout the series in Miami onWednesday.

    Wednesday night will beour greatest challenge thatweve had with this groupso far, coach Erik Spoelstra

    said. Well get their bestgames on Wednesday. Andwe have to be better. If werereal about what we want todo, we have to beat the BostonCeltics at their best.

    Paul Pierce scored 27,Ray Allen had 17 and KevinGarnett had seven points and

    10 rebounds for Boston.Rajon Rondo, who dis-located his left elbowSaturday night in Game3, played 39 minuteswith a padded sleevecovering what appearedto be a brace on his leftarm, scoring 10 with five

    assists.The Celtics would

    need to win three ina row two of themin Miami to have a

    chance to defend their EasternConference championship.

    These are those moments.I look forward to it, Allensaid. Everybody on thisteam, we know what to do.We cant talk about it; wejust have to put our best footforward. Its not easy. It justmakes it that much more spe-cial if were able to do it.

    Boston has reached theNBA finals in two of thelast three seasons, both timesknocking James and the

    Cavaliers out along the way.The Celtics eliminated theHeat in the first round lastyear, one round after knock-ing Cleveland out and send-ing James on the journey thatlanded him in Miami.

    In all, Wade had lost 11straight regular-season andplayoff games in Boston.

    James had lost 13-of-15,including the one that endedhis Cleveland career.

    I havent had much suc-cess in this building, Jamessaid. We put a lot of pressureon ourselves to just come outand do whatever it took.

    Boston took an 84-81 leadwith 2:28 left after back-to-back 3-pointers by DelonteWest and Allen but Jameshit a 3 to tie it and then madea left-handed lay-in with 48seconds to play to give Miamian 86-84 lead. Pierce drove tothe basket to tie it but Jameslost control of the ball while

    he was dribbling down theclock.

    Allen went for it and wasbumped by James Jones, giv-ing Boston the ball out ofbounds with 19.5 seconds leftand the game tied at 86. Piercegot the ball, waited out theclock and then took a high-arcing fallaway jumper in thefinal seconds that rimmed outas time expired.

    The Celtics scored just fourpoints in overtime, shooting1-for-6 and making four oftheir 18 turnovers. Garnettstarted things off by throwingthe ball away and then Jamesmade a fallaway jumper asthe shot clock expired to give

    Miami an 88-86 lead.Allen missed, Bosh

    dunked at the other end,West missed a 3-pointer andthen James drew a chargingfoul on Pierce. After anotherBoston turnover, Wade madea 2-pointer with his foot onthe 3-point arc to give Miamia 92-86 lead with 2 minutes

    left in overtime.We just had poor execu-

    tion down the stretch, Piercesaid. It just carried intoovertime, it seemed like. Wefeel like tonight we beat our-selves.

    One game after the HeatsBig Three combined for just44 points, they providedalmost all the offense. No oneelse had more than four pointsand the Heats bench totaledjust seven.

    The 83 total points is tiedfor ninth-most by the BigThree; their 84.7 percent oftotal team points is the sec-

    ond-highest percentage of theseason, according to STATSLLC.

    NOTES: Miami had zero assistsin the second quarter and just eightthrough three. ... Boston activatedpoint guard Carlos Arroyo in caseRondos elbow and Wests shoulderbecame a problem. He did not get intothe game. ... Jermaine ONeal wascalled for a flagrant foul on Jamesin the first five minutes, perhaps anattempt by the officials to make surethings didnt get nasty after Saturdaynights takedown in which Rondo wasinjured. ... Spoelstra shuffled his line-up, activating Udonis Haslem for thefirst time since November foot surgeryand rewarding Joel Anthony for hisplay in the early games with his firststart of the playoffs. Haslem made justone appearance, playing 3 minutesand picking up an offensive foul, aloose-ball foul and a technical foul.

    Thunder 133, Grizzlies 123, 3OTMEMPHIS, Tenn. Kevin Durant

    scored six of his 35 points in thethird overtime and the Oklahoma CityThunder survived a thriller in holdingoff the Memphis Grizzlies.

    With the victory, the Thundergrabbed back home-court advantageand tied this Western Conferencesemifinal at two games apiece. Game5 is on Wednesday night back inOklahoma City. The winner of theseries will play the Dallas Mavericksin the conference finals.

    Russell Westbrook led the Thunderwith 40 points.

    James, Wade lead Heat past Celtics 98-90 in OT (Continued from Page 6)Wings. San Jose leads thatseries 3-2, with Game 6 to beplayed in Detroit tonight.

    Vancouver is 2-4 this yearwith the opportunity to advanceon the line and 6-1 in its otherplayoff games. The Canucksblew a 3-0 series lead againstdefending Stanley Cup cham-pion Chicago in the first roundbefore finally eliminating theBlackhawks in overtime ofGame 7.

    That gave the Canucks thechance to face Nashville, whichreached the second round forthe first time in team history.

    They made themselvescomfortable on Nashvilles ice,

    winning all three games therein the series. Vancouver wasjust 1-2 at home in the series.

    Raymond gave Vancouverthe lead 7:45 into the gameand Sedin made it 2-0 just 1:43later. Luongo did the rest forthe Canucks, who were outshot24-19. The Canucks recordedonly nine total shots in the firsttwo periods.

    David Legwands goal3:31 into the second period cutVancouvers lead to 2-1. Thegoal Legwands sixth ofthe postseason stood up to avideo review but the Predatorscouldnt avoid eliminationagain and force a Game 7.

    The first two periods Ithought we played as well asweve played in the playoffs,Nashville coach Barry Trotzsaid. The first period was alittle disturbing because according to our sources andwhat we track we were out-chancing them 11 to two andwe were losing 2-0. Thats ahard pill to swallow.

    After grabbing the early

    lead, the Canucks put the gameaway with defense. Nashvillehad 11 shots in the first periodbut only 13 over the final 40minutes. The Predators alsofailed to take advantage of fourfirst-period penalty plays.

    Vancouver coach AlainVigneault said his teams earlypenalty kills were huge.

    You start off and take fourpenalties in the first, two rightoff the bat, he said. Penaltykill is having players com-mitted and great goaltending.Luongo made a couple of hugesaves right off the bat that per-mitted us to get a goal 5-on-5and then a power-play goal.

    The Canucks got some

    help to get their offense roll-ing as Predators defensemanRyan Suter turned over thepuck to Ryan Kesler right nextto the net. Kesler passed toRaymond, who backhanded ashot past goalie Pekka Rinne,who finished with 17 saves.

    Sedin doubled the leadwhile Nashville forward JordinTootoo served an unsports-manlike conduct penalty fordiving after he was hit by AlexEdler. Sedin connected just 36seconds into the power play.

    Martin Erat had one ofNashvilles best looks at anoth-er goal on a breakaway aftercoming off the bench but JeffTambellini caught up with himand knocked him down justbefore he was able to take aclean shot.

    The Predators, who wontheir first playoff series bybeating the Anaheim Ducks inthe first round had never wona playoff game in which theyfaced elimination until their4-3 victory in Game 5 againstVancouver on Saturday night.

    Canucks

    (Continued from Page 6)pen held on, thanks to a keydouble play turned by shortstopYuniesky Betancourt and Weeksin the eighth. John Axford pitchedthe ninth for his sixth save.

    The Reds looked to have fig-ured out Houston starter Aneury

    Rodriguez just five days after theymanaged just one hit in five score-less innings against him in hisfirst major league start. Rodriguez(0-1) allowed five runs and eighthits in five innings.

    Rockies 2, Mets 1DENVER Chris Iannetta

    broke a seventh-inning tie with ahomer that barely cleared the left-

    field wall and Colorado snappedits 4-game skid.

    Iannetta, who stretched outa double that led to Coloradosfirst run two innings earlier, sentan 81-mph slider from lefty ChrisCapuano into the tunnel down theleft-field line for his fifth home runwith one out in the seventh.

    Matt Belisle (3-2) got two outsfor the win, Colorados fifth in fivegames against the Mets this sea-son. Rafael Betancourt pitched aperfect eighth and Huston Streetworked the ninth for his 12th savein 13 chances.
