SOUTHERN SECTION QUARTERFINALS All games today, 3:15 p.m. DIVISION I --ETIWANDA (21-6) at VALENCIA (25-4-2): If top-seeded Valencia is to qualify for the semifinals for the first time in school history, the Vikings need another strong pitching performance from sophomore LH Christina Ross. That seems probable. Ross (15-2) came within one out of a no-hitter in a 1-0 victory over Hoover of Glendale in the first round. She has an impressive repertoire of pitches, including a sneaky fastball, a hard-breaking curve that handcuffs hand·cuff n.

Often used in the plural. tr.v. right-handers and a straight change that is perhaps her best pitch. Valencia has limited punch in its lineup, although SS Ashley Herrera (.375, six HRs) and C Jaisa Creps (.395, two HRs) are among the region's best all-around players. Creps was 2 for 3 with a HR in Tuesday's 7-3 victory at Schurr of Montebello. ``We're working on getting hits when we need to get them,'' coach Donna Lee Donna Lee is a bebop jazz standard itself based on the chord changes of the traditional jazz standard "(Back Home Again in) Indiana".[1] It is named after the now-obscure bassist Donna Lee. said. ``So far, it's been a team effort.

If the Scorpions continue to excel in all facets, as they have during playoff victories over Arroyo Grande and Esperanza of Anaheim, they'll be tough to beat.

The four also are excellent fielders. Young, a freshman, was 2 for 3 with three RBI, including a key two-run single, in the victory over Esperanza. Her brothers include Camarillo baseball star Delmon and major-leaguer Dmitri. Sophomore RHP Shannon Byrne, a sinkerball sink·er·ball n.

McPherson (10-1, 0.09 ERA), who pitched a three-hit shutout against Rio Mesa, has allowed one earned run in 75 innings. Kenton (10-2, 0.37 ERA) figures to oppose Davis. Royal freshman leadoff hitter Heather Erickson (.433, two HRs, 26 runs) is among four starters batting .321 or better.

We were very happy and excited to win. I think this is exactly what our team needed. Now I think we have the confidence to go all the way.'' Lompoc defeated Santa Paula Santa Paula (săn`tə pôl`ə), city (1990 pop. 25,062), Ventura co., S Calif., on the Santa Clara River in a fertile valley that yields citrus fruits, avocados, vegetables, flowers, nursery products, and walnuts; laid out 1875, inc. 19-2 Tuesday after opening with a 3-0 victory over Chaminade of West Hills.

It had been about 10 days since I pitched and my elbow and wrist were hurting.'' After giving up a home run in the first inning Tuesday, Kalish settled down. ``I guess I recovered faster than I expected,'' she said. ``I really wanted to get out there because we've worked so hard all year to get to this point.''
