Jason Tubb hit a two-run homer in the bottom of the seventh inning to give Newbury Park an 8-7 Marmonte League victory over Thousand Oaks Friday at Newbury Park. Newbury Park (6-6, 4-1) had a 6-3 lead before Thousand Oaks (6-6, 1-3) scored four runs in the top of the seventh to take the lead. Tubb, who hit a solo homer in the sixth inning, had three hits, three runs batted in and two runs. Ray Clinton (4-1) pitched two-thirds of an inning of relief to improve to 3-0 in league play.

Alemany High converted a single, a wild pitch and three errors into a three-run third inning and held on to win, 5-3, over Buena in the Blue Division championship game of the Westside tournament Saturday at UCLA's Jackie Robinson Stadium. Greg Kmet (2-0) gave up eight hits, struck out six and walked two in six innings for Alemany (4-1), and Fred Perez picked up his second save by retiring the three batters he faced in the seventh.

Darrell Hussman is quick to admit there's a huge correlation between his anxiety level and his success on the mound. One of the dominant pitchers in Southern California, the Quartz Hill High senior twice this season has been attacked by a case of nerves the night before a game.

The eye is not the window to the soul, at least not in the case of Canyon High senior volleyball player Brentt Phillips. Last fall, Phillips covered his left eye with his hand while rubbing it and realized that vision out of the other eye was blurry and clouded. Unknowingly, he had suffered a detached retina that summer because of a genetic condition known as Stickler Syndrome, which afflicted his mother and grandmother.

They spent months crowding ballfields like second-graders over a jar of flies, scrutinizing every move made by the finest college and high school baseball players. Now, with the major league draft Thursday, scouts are immersed in a less visible but no less vital part of their job--determining each player's "signability." Will a hotshot high school or junior college player choose pro baseball over a college scholarship?

Jerome Payton, who point guard for the Palmdale High boys' basketball team, sparks the baseball team as well. Payton plays shortstop and bats leadoff for the Golden League leaders and is hitting .484, has scored 30 runs and stolen 30 bases in 31 attempts. "He's swinging the bat good and really doing the job," Coach Kent Bothwell said. In the winter, he wheels and deals. In the spring, he wheels and steals. Payton, a 6-foot, 170-pound senior, scored 10.
