Cat Fair Offers Second Chance to Special Kitties


Chula Vista's Animal Care Facility will sponsor a free, family carnival to highlight the needs of homeless cats at Chula Vista's animal shelter. The adoption event will be held at the new and improved facility located at 130 Beyer Way on Saturday, August 28 from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Adoption fees will be waived for all kittens and cats. Animal care staff is hoping the special event will draw attention to the plight of the region's orphaned felines.

Besides adopting your new feline friend, each new "parent" will also receive a tote full of goodies, including a ticket to be entered into a prize bowl for gift certificates to local restaurants, a gift basket and more.

Entertainment beginning at 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. includes the Fire Department's search and rescue dog, Cody, story time for kids, Frazzle the Clown and Alakazam Magic Show.

Last year, the shelter took in more than 3,600 cats in need. But between today's slow economic conditions and an extended kitten season, the staff has been hit with a tidal wave of kittens too young to survive in a shelter environment. The shelter's foster care program has been very successful in helping these tiny animals survive and thrive until they are ready to be adopted.

But the shelter is reaching maximum capactiy to house the kittens and cats and is in desperate need of help and homes.

Another World Series for Chula Vista Boys


They helped win the 2009 Little League World Series and now Bulla Graft, Andy Rios and Isaiah Armenta are only five games away from the world championship at the Pony-13 World Series.

On Saturday, the Chula Vista North 13-under team beat Evansville, Indiana, 12-11, after beating the Bahamas 10 to 0 in their opening game at the 2010 Pony-13 League Baseball World Series

The boys are a little older and their new league is a little different.

In the Pony League, the distance between the bases are set further apart as the children get older, said Pony-13 World Series tournament host Jess Jaime.

In Little League, the children play on bases set 60-feet apart, Jaime explained. In Pony League, the bases for 13 and under are set 80-feet apart, he said.

“[Its] More of a challenge,” Jaime said. ” The kids get bigger and stronger, so they can hit further.”

Clearly, Graft and his team were ready to take on the challenge.

Soon, the boys will be headed to high school and the Pony League will prepare them for the transition, Jaime said.

In high school baseball, the bases are set 90-feet apart, he added.

The boys and their new teammates Ricky Reynoso, Justin Sparby, Seamus Beyerle, Tucker Torano, Casey McPherson, Robby Weissenfels, Brandon Torio, Hudson Pearson, Isaac Vargas and Daniel Schneeman beat out Cypress, Calif. on Wednesday, and won the opportunity to travel north to match up again the Caribbean Zone champs.

Last summer, in front of more than 30,000 people in Williamsport, Pa. — and many more watching around the world — the Park View Little League team became the first team from San Diego County to win the Little League World Series in more than 40 years. The Blue Bombers from Chula Vista won the coveted title, 6-3, over Chinese Taipei in a game filled with drama.

The other boys, including Kiko Garcia and Luke Ramirez, are on different teams this year, said Jannine Tejada, who is the player agent for Chula Vista North. Jensen Peterson and Junior Porras, who were on last year’s winning team, played in the CVN league but were on a second All-Star team, which also made it to super-regionals but did not advance to the zone-playoff round for the championship.

14U: USA perfect in Bronze win - WAY TO GO KIKO!!!!


DeMers, Haseley, Garcia combine for perfect outing

MANAGUA, Nicaragua - Joe DeMers, Adam Haseley and Kiko Garcia combined to throw a perfect game as the USA Baseball 14U National Team defeated Brazil, 6-0, to capture the Bronze medal at the COPABE Pan Am 'A' 14U Championships Saturday at Dennis Martinez Stadium.

The perfect game is the second in Team USA 14U history, following Jimmy Wallace's in 2008 against Guatemala. It was also the fourth no-hitter in Team USA history, and the second in Nicaragua.

DeMers started and worked 6 1/3 perfect innings, throwing just 70 pitches to record 19 outs, 10 of which were strikeouts. The 10 strikeouts ties Matt Crownover (2007) for the most in a single game.

Haseley came on with one out in the seventh and induced a 4-3 putout. He then gave way to Garcia, who threw three pitches and got the final out of the game on another 4-3 out.

For Garcia and Haseley, it was their second no-hitter of the week as the duo combined to throw a three-inning no-hitter against Honduras on Thursday.

DeMers got the win and ended the tournament having thrown 10 1/3 innings in two appearances. He posted an earned run average of 0.68 and allowed just one hit as opponents batted .030 against him.

He threw 13 strikeouts in his two combined appearances.

Haseley and Garcia, meanwhile, combined to throw six innings, allowing no hits with nine strikeouts.

Team USA managed just five hits against Brazil Saturday, but that was enough to support the perfect game and get the squad the Bronze medal.

The Americans were led by Jesse Kuet, who had two of the team's five hits.

Team USA scored its first run of the game in the bottom half of the third. Kuet narrowly reached on a two-out dribbler to third, and moved to second on a balk with Blake Wiggins at the plate. Wiggins then walked on a 3-2 pitch.

Three pitchers later, both Wiggins and Kuet moved up two bases when Brazil catcher Leonardo Yorozuy threw an errant pickoff attempt to first down the right field line, giving The Americans a 1-0 advantage. Brazil pitcher Luiz Pego, however, was able to minimize the damage and force Team USA to strand Wiggins at third to end the inning.

Team USA added to the lead with two runs in the fourth on a double steal. Luke Alexander took third and scored on an errant throw by Yorozuy, while Kyle Marsh, who had been at first, stole second, then advanced two bases on the throw to make it 3-0.

The Americans scored their third run of the fourth and fourth run of the game when Joe DeMers, who had walked with one out, scored on a wild pitch out of the hand of reliever Marcelo Matsumoto.

Luke Alexander posted Team USA's third hit of the game and first out of the infield in the fifth when he singled up the middle with two outs, driving in Wiggins from third. That made it 5-0 in favor of The Americans.

DeMers added to his special Saturday by hitting a solo home run in the sixth to make it 6-0, Team USA. The round-tripper was his third of the tournament and Team USA's 11th.

Pego took the loss after allowing three runs and a hit in 3 1/3 innings. He walked five and struck out four.

Team USA ended the championships with a 4-2 record, while Brazil will go home with a 3-3 mark over its six games. Wiggins was the lone Team USA player on the all-tournament team. He batted .636 (7-for-11) with three home runs and six RBIs.
