A young swimmer sliced her foot on a pieceof underwater equipment at the BurlingameAquatic Center, claimed her father who i s nowquestioning whether the pool is adequately
safe.Victor Lam, of Millbrae, said his 12-year-
old daughter required three stitches to closethe gash that was opened in her foot after sheaccidentally kicked a sharp piece of exposedmetal while swimming laps at the pool lastmonth.
The pool, located on the campus of Burling ame High School , i s a shared commu-nity asset managed and operated by the city,San Mateo Union High School District and anonprofit community organization. Injuryliability is contingent on how the pool wasbeing when the incident occurred, accordingto o fficials who offered few comments until amore thorough investigation could be com-pleted, other than offering assurance that thepool is safe for swimmers.
The injury o ccurred Friday, March 25, when
Lam’s daughter was doing an underwater turnduring swim practice and her foot hit a metaltile guard hanging o ver the lip of the pool, heclaimed, and he is concerned nothing hasbeen done to mitigate the hazard.
Lam remains uncertain whether he will filea lawsuit to recoup damages his family hassuffered, but he is primarily interested inensuring another swimmer is not injured, hesaid.
“I just don’t want any innocent person toget hurt,” he said. “I just want them to knowthis is a dangerous condition that could hurtany kid.”
The pool is operated by the nonprofitBurlingame Aquatic Club, while city andschool district officials agreed in October onterms to share maintenance costs for thepool.
Suze Gardner, executive director of the club,
said pool staff is looking into the incident,but feels confident the facility is not a dangerto the p ublic.
“We were sorry to learn about the recentinjury to a s wimmer at the aquatic center. As isour practice, we are taking t his opportunity toreview all safety s tandards at the facility,” she
said in an email. “It does not appear that thisinjury is the result of pool operations, and weare confident that all pool operations aresafe.”
San Mateo Union High School Districtofficials are also in vestigating the incident,according to spokeswoman Sheri Costa-Batis.
“We don’t yet h ave the full b ackground andare undergoing a review of the situation togather complete facts, so until we do our duediligence, it’s premature to comment at thistime,” said Costa-Batis in an email.
Until high school district officials havecompleted their investigation, Costa-Batissaid she is uncertain which agency may beresponsible for handling liability claims.
“Every sit uation is different and so each sit-uation needs to b e evaluated based on it s own
circumstances. We’re looking into the com-plete facts and background so a determinationcan be made,” she said. “Until fully expl ored,we can’t speculate.”
Burlingame City Manager Lisa Goldmanexpressed a similar sentiment.
“Who bears liability depends on the factsof the specific claim and whether it relates tofacilities or operations,” she said, in anemail. “We’re investigating this incident andhave no comment on it at th is time.”
Lam said he is underwhelmed by theresponse of officials since the injuryoccurred, and would like to see more aware-ness spread regarding the potential underwa-ter threat.
“I’m not satisfied with the manage-ment,” he said. “There might be poten-tial negl igence, because there is no warn-
ing sign and they are still allowing
swimmers to use the pool. ”After hurting her foot, Lam’s daughter was
taken to Mills-Peninsula Medical Center,where she was treated for what he character-ized as a deep cut.
More than two weeks after the incident, hisdaughter is still experiencing difficulty walk-
ing without crutches, said Lam.Lam said he returned to the pool Monday,
March 28, to find the metal tile guards werestil l in place, and some were protruding under-water from the pool wall, making it morelikely for swimmers to h it.
The threat posed by the tile guards wereknown to the coach of his daughter’s swimteam, Lam alleged, which caused him furtherconfusion regarding why nothing was done topreemptively protect swimmers.
“Why did they not stop the swim program?Or why did they not put a sign up, or whatev-er, because of the danger? I think this is com-mon sense,” he s aid.
Lam said he has filed a claim requestingfinancial relief for the medical expensesincurred during treatment for h is daughter, butsaid he likely does not have the assets n eces-
sary to engage in a long legal battle with theagencies op erating and managing the p ool.“I do not have the money to get an attor-
ney,” he said.Lam said his primary concern is seeing the
issue addressed, and ensuring no other swim-mers are exposed to the threat that harmed hisdaughter.
“My main concern is that I do not want anyinnocent person to get hurt,” he said.“Because it seems like the managementshould have the authority t o decide to stop theswim program while they fix it.”

BART shows off new carsBART’s n ew, more sp acious cars
are undergoing testing in the EastBay and agency officials hope toget the first of them on tracks bythe end of this year.
The first car of the agency’s“Fleet of the Future” was shippedby truck last month fromPlattsburgh, New York, where theBombardier Transit Corp. is b uild-ing 775 train cars. After the firstcar is thoroughly tested, BARTofficials hope to have 10 in placeby December.
The replacement cars are sorelyneeded as a mysterious electricalspike along the Pittsburg/BayPoint line has been damaging carsand forcing them out of service.BART has been running shorter
trains along all its lines as aresult.
“This car represents that helpis on the way,” BART directorRobert Raburn said at theHayward maintenance complextoday as BART showed off the
new car to reporters.BART will poll riders on the
first 10 cars and finalize the int eri-or design, at which point it willbegin mass-producing the remain-ing cars, putting all 775 in placeby the end of 2021.

SACRAMENTO — Endangeredsalmon blocked for nearly a century
from hundreds of miles of theKlamath River in Oregon andCalifornia are expected to return enmasse under unusual agreementssigned Wednesday to tear down fourhydroelectric dams.
U.S. Interior Secretary Sally Jewell,who signed agreements with the go v-ernors of both states, said the planwould bring about one of the largestriver restoration projects in the his-tory of th e U.S.
The landmark deals also protectfarmers and ranchers from risingpower and water prices as the variousinterests work to end long-runningwater wars in the drought-strickenKlamath River basin.
The dams now block fish from
migrating to their historic spawninggrounds and also degrade water quali-ty, spreading fish diseases and algaeblooms. Salmon are sacred to someNative American tribes that use themfor subsistence and ceremony.
“Our allocation of fish this yeardoesn’t meet half of our subsistencefor o ur peopl e,” s aid Yurok Tribe ViceChairman David Gensaw. “This is athreat to our culture, our religion andthe economic survival of our people.”
The Klamath basin h as been the siteof tense disputes between tribes,environmentalists, farmers andranchers for n early two decades.
In 200 1, water deliveries to farmers
and ranchers were severely curtailed.Adult sal mon suffered a major die-off ayear later. Salmon harvests have b eensharply reduced for the tribes as wellas recreational and commercial fish-ers.
The latest deal is spelled out in twoagreements si gned at the mouth of theriver in Northern California in a cere-mony attended by Oregon Gov. KateBrown, California Gov. Jerry Brown,federal officials, tribal leaders, con-servation groups, large-scale waterusers and dam-owner PacifiCo rp.

WASHINGTON — Federalmoney left over from the largelysuccessful fight again st Ebola willnow go to combating the growingthreat of the Zika virus, th e Obamaadministration announcedWednesday.
Most of the $58 9 million wouldbe devoted to the Centers forDisease Control and Preventionfor research o n th e virus and Zika-related birth defects, as well as thecreation of response teams tolimit its spread. The NationalInstitutes of Health would contin-

Researchers fear Zika causesmicrocephaly, a serious birthdefect in which a baby’s head istoo small, as well as posing otherthreats to the children of pregnantwomen infected with it.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — A billthat would allow mental healthcounselors to turn patients awaybased on the counselors’ religiousbeliefs and personal principleshas passed in the House inTennessee, the latest state to
introduce measures that oppo-nents say legalize discriminationagainst gays, bisexuals and trans-gender people.
The Senate, which alreadypassed the measure, still wouldhave to approve an amendmentadopted by the House.
The bill passed 68-22Wednesday following a rancorous
debate on the House floor. If it issigned into law, Tennessee wouldbe the only state to allow coun-selors to refuse to treat patientsbased on the counselors’ ownbelief systems, said Art Terrazas,Director of Government Affairs forthe American CounselingAssociation. The organization hascalled the bill an “unprecedented
attack” on the counseling profes-sion and government overreach.
Opponents of the measure say itwould allow therapists to discrim-inate against gays and other peo-ple who are at their most vulnera-ble and need therapy. Proponentssay it takes into account the rightsof everyone, including the thera-pists.

Syrian refugee Ahmad al-Abboud, and his family members, who will be resettled in the UnitedStates as part of a refugee admissions program, walk to board their plane at the Queen AliaInternational Airport in Amman, Jordan.
By Khetam MalkawiTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS
AMMAN, Jordan — The first Syrian fami-ly t o be resettl ed in the U.S. under a speeded-up “surge op eration” for refugees left Jordanon Wednesday for Kansas City, Missouri, tostart a new life.
Ahmad al-Abboud, who is being resettledwith his wife and five children, said he isthankful to Jordan, where he has lived forthree years after fleeing Syria’s civil war.But the 45-year-old from Homs, Syria, saidhe was ready to build a better life in the U.S.
“I’m happy. America is the country of freedom and democracy, there are jobs
opportunities, there is good education, andwe are lookin g forward to having a good lifeover t here,” al-Abboud said.
They have been living i n Mafraq, north of Amman. Al-Abboud was unable to findwork, and the family was surviving on foodcoupons.
“I am ready to integrate in the U.S. andstart a new life,” h e told th e Associated Pressin Amman’s airport before the family board-ed a flight to Kansas City.
Al-Abboud said he wanted to learn Engl ishand find a job to support his family.
Since October, 1, 000 Syrian refugees havemoved to the U.S. from Jordan. PresidentBarack Obama has set a target of resettling10,000 Syrian refugees by Sept. 30.
A resettlement center o pened in Amman i nFebruary to help meet that goal, and about600 people are interviewed every day at thecenter.
The temporary processing center will rununtil April 28, said U.S. Ambassador AliceWells, who was at the airport to see the al-Abboud family depart.
Gina Kassem, t he region al refugee coordi-nator at the U.S. Embassy in Amman, saidthat while the target of 10,000 applies toSyrian refugees living around the world,most will b e resettled from Jordan.
“The 10,000 (figure) is a floor and not aceiling, and it is possible to increase thenumber,” Kassem told reporters.
While the resettlement process usuallytakes 18 to 24 months, the surge operationwill reduce the time to three months,Kassem s aid.
The U.N. Refugee Agency prioritizes themost vulnerable cases for resettlement, andrefers them to the U.S. to review, Kassemsaid.
The priority is gi ven to hi gh-risk groupssuch as unaccompanied minors and victimsof torture and gender-based violence, shesaid.
“We do not have exclusions or look forfamilies with certain education background,language skills or other socio-economicfactors, and we do not cut family sizes,” s hesaid.

MANAMA, Bahrain — Jo hn Kerry is nowthe most traveled secretary of state in U.S.history, breaking the record as he arrived inthe Middle East kingdom of Bahrain on
Wednesday.The trip pushed Kerry past 1.06 millionmiles as America’s top diplomat, narrowlybeating Condoleezza Rice by about 1,000miles. Rice, who was secretary of stat e underPresident George W. Bush, held the p reviousmark with 1.05 9 million miles.
Kerry eclipsed Hillary Clinton’s mileagetally in December.
With 10 months left before a new presi-dent takes office, Kerry is sh owing no si gnsof tempering his hectic travel schedule. Heflew to the Mideast on Tuesday from NewYork after attending an energy conference,stopping in Ireland to refuel. He plans tovisit Japan later in the week.
With no immediate plans to leave theState Department, Kerry could easily pad hi snew record by hundreds of thousands of
miles before departing government.The former Massachusetts senator an d for-
mer Democratic presidential nominee has
spent more than 2,300hours — or 96 days — inthe air since becomingsecretary of state inFebruary 2013. He hasspent parts of 467 differ-ent days on h is well-worn
government plane.One record el udes Kerrystill: Clinton’s 112countries visited on the
job .Having s huttled regularly bet ween several
favorite destinations — including Paris,London and Jerusalem — Kerry had onlybeen to 8 0 countries.
Bahrain makes 81.Kerry’s visit to the capital of Manama is
the first by an American secretary of statesince demonstrations by the kingdom’sShiite majority in 2011. Saudi and Emiratitroops h elped put down the protest s, th oughdiscontent continues. Human rights groupschastise Bahrain’s Sunni rulers for repres-sion and discrimination.
Kerry will raise human rights concerns
when he meets top officials from Bahrainand the Persian Gulf region’s other Sunnimonarchies countries Thursday.

NEW YORK — U.S. stocksbroke a two-day losing streakWednesday as investors boughtup drugmakers and other healthcare companies. Energy compa-
nies also jumped as the price of oil surged.
Biotech drug companies,which have been mired in a longslide, made their biggest g ains inalmost five years. That cameafter Pfizer, one of the largestpharmaceutical companies in theworld, gave up on a plan to buyBotox maker Allergan for $160bill ion and inv estors wondered if it will lo ok elsewhere.
The gains were only enough towipe out most of the market’slosses from a day earlier. Stockswavered in recent weeks asinvest ors wait for quarterly earn-ings to start pouring in, andmany are bracing for another
shaky quarter.Jack Ablin, chief investment
officer of BMO Private Bank,said it’s going to be anotherweak earnings period, and the
only way stocks will trade muchhigh er is if companies are able togive optimistic projections forthe rest o f the year.
“Without an improvement inearnings or a projection of earn-ings growth, our outlook i s kindof tapped out,” he said.
The Dow Jones industrial aver-age gained 112.73 points, or 0.6percent, to 17,716.05. TheStandard & Poor’s 500 i ndex rose21.49 points, or 1.1 percent, to
2,066.66. The Nasdaq compositeindex picked up 76. 78 poin ts, o r1.6 percent, to 4,920 .72.
Pfizer and Allergan confirmedWednesday that they are walkingaway from th eir propo sed mergerafter the U.S. TreasuryDepartment announced new rulesthat made the deal, and otherslike it, far less appealing. Pfizerrose $1.57, or 5 percent, to$32.93, its biggest gain since2011.
Pfizer was ready to make one of the largest corporate deals in h is-tory for Allergan as it tried toboost its sales and cut its taxbill. Biotechnology companies,which make complex and costlydrugs, climbed higher. Celgene,which makes treatments for can-cer, gained $6.10, or 6 percent,to $108 .22 . VertexPharmaceuticals rose $7.15, or8.5 percent, to $91. 31.
Biotech sto cks are facing pres-
sure from legislators over theprice of their drugs, andinvestors fear that their abilityto raise prices will b e impeded.
Energy companies gainedground as benchmark U.S. cruderose $1.86, or 5.2 percent, toclose at $37.75 a barrel in New
York. Brent crude, a benchmarkfor international oils, added$1.97, or 5.2 percent, to close at$39.84 a barrel in London. Theprice of oil has sk idded in recentdays before making small gainsTuesday.
Chevron picked up $2.17, or2.3 percent, to $94.84 andExxon Mobil added $1. 10, o r 1.3percent, to $83.31. Hess rose$2.74, or 5.3 percent, to $54.
Oilfield services companiesHalliburton and Baker Hughesalso traded higher after the U.S.government sued to block themfrom combining. Halliburton hadagreed to buy its rival for morethan $34 billion in November
2014, after oil prices began tofall. Baker Hughes gained $3.47 ,or 8.8 percent, to $42.83.Halliburton climbed $2.04, or5.9 percent, to $36. 44.

WASHINGTON — The U.S. lam-bastes and strong-arms countriesthat help drug lords and million-aire investors hide their moneyfrom tax collectors. Critics say it
should look closer to home.America itself is emerging as a
top tax h aven alongside the likesof Switzerland, the Cayman
Islands and Panama, those seek-ing reform of the international taxsystem say. And states such asDelaware, Nevada, South Dakotaand Wyoming, in particular, arecompeting with each oth er to pro-vide foreigners with the secrecythey crave.
“There’s a big neon sign sayingthe U.S. is open to tax cheats,”says John Christensen, executivedirector of the Tax JusticeNetwork.
America’s openness to foreign
tax evaders is coming under newscrutiny after the leak this week of 11.5 million confidential docu-ments from a Panamanian lawfirm. The Panama Papers showhow some of the world’s richestpeople hide assets in shell compa-nies to avoid paying taxes.
Christensen’s group, whichcampaigns for a g lobal crackdownon tax evaders, says the UnitedStates ranks third in the world infinancial secrecy, behindSwitzerland and Hong Kong but
ahead of notorious tax havenssuch as the Cayman Islands andLuxembourg.
Under a 201 0 l aw, passed after itwas learned that the Swiss bankUBS helped thousands of Americans evade U.S. taxes, theUnited States demands that banksand other financial institutionsdisclose information onAmericans abroad to make surethey pay their U.S. taxes.
But the U.S. doesn’t automati-cally return the favor.

WASHINGTON — High fees.Conflicts of interest.Inappropriate investments.
The Obama administration isgoin g after a host o f perceived rip-offs with th e new rules it ’s unveil-
ing Wednesday for brokers whorecommend investment s for retire-ment savers.
No longer will brokers who sellstocks, bonds, annuities and otherproducts be required just to recom-mend investments that are “suit-able” for a client. They’ll nowhave to meet a stricter standard that
has long applied to registeredadvisers: They will be considered“fiduciaries” — trustees who mustput their clients’ best interestsabove all.
The new rules, which will bephased in st arting a year from now,follow intense lobbying by bothconsumer advocates and t he finan-
cial in dustry. Full compliance willbe required by January 201 8.
At stake are about $4.5 trillionin 401(k) retirement accounts,plus $2 trillion in other defined-contribution plans such as federalemployees’ plans and $7.3 trill ionin IRAs, according to theInvestment Company Institute.

The South City softball team came outswinging against its archrival.
And even tho ugh a slew of at ‘em balls pre-vented the Lady Warriors from scoring afterthe second inning, they still h eld on for a 5-3 win o ver El Camino Tuesday at South City’shome yard of Ponderosa Elementary School.
The Warriors (3-0 in PAL Ocean, 3-6 over-all) broke through with four runs in the sec-ond, which proved to be enough to ho ld off El
Camino. South Citytotaled eight hits — allsingles — with JanessaCayabyab, Shelby Baxterand Brianna Jimeneztotaling two hit s apiece.
“Recently we’ve beenhitting every day insteadof focusing on defense,”Cayabyab said. “It’smade a big difference.It’s helped everybody to
make good contact.”
With no seniors onroster, South City hashad to build from theground up t his year. Aftergoing winless throughsix n onleague games, theWarriors have won theirfirst three games inPeninsula AthleticLeague Ocean Divisionplay, which is shapingup to b e a three-team race

There was no one more relieved thanHillsdale’s Brett Wetteland when he came onto pitch in the bottom of the sixth inning toprotect a lead against host Burlingameinstead of coming in with the Knights trail-ing.
Wetteland had ended the fourth inning bypopping out with the bases loaded and hiserror in the bottom of frame led directly toBurlingame taking a 3-2 lead.
But thanks to teammate David Badet’s two-run single in the top of the fifth, Wettelandcame out from behin d the plate to close downthe Panthers.
And close them down he did. Wettelandretired the final six batters of the game, st rik-ing out four — including th ree in a row to endthe game — and preserving a 4-3 v ictory.
“I knew my team would back me up,”Wetteland said. “We were all bulldogs today,trying to get the win.”
Wetteland’s save made a winner out of Trevor Bettis, who pitched the first fiveinnings, allowing three runs on four hits.Bettis and his counterpart, Burlingame start-ing p itcher Alex Vina, h ooked up in a pitch-er’s duel for the first half of the game.
Neither guy is going to light up the radargun, but both Bettis and Vina pitched theirtails off to keep their teams in th e game.
Hillsdale had its opp ortunities to get Vinaout of the game early. In his four inning s of work, Vina allowed two runs on six hits, wig-
gling out of trouble time and again.“It was a tough fought game, much as weexpected,” said Hillsdale manager JamesMadison. “Our guys were pretty resilient.”
Hillsdale (4-1 PAL Bay, 9-4-1 overall) jumped out to a quick 1-0 lead in the top of the first inning. With one out, ArjunMahanty singled and Badet doubled to putrunners on second and third. Wetteland fol-lowed with a groundout to second thatenabled Mahanty to s camper home from thirdwith the first run of the game.

Hillsdale shortstop Arjun Mahanty fields a grounder during the Knights’4-3 win over Burlingamein a PAL Bay Division matchup Wednesday in Burlingame.
Look who leads the PeninsulaAthletic League’s Bay Divisi onsoftball standings?
None other than Half Moon Bay, whichmade a statement in a 6 -0 win overHillsdale, handing the Knights their first
league loss and serv-ing notice it will bea player come thepostseason.
Half Moon Bayscored once in thebottom of the secondinning and nursed
that lead into thesixth when theCougars broke thegame open with fiveruns. Led by fresh-
man Marissa Terra, who went 2 for 3 withthree RBIs, the Cougars batt eredHillsdale ace Eryn McCoy, t ouching h erfor nine h its. Sopho more Grace Garciathen shut down a potent Hillsdale order,holding the Knights to just three hits asshe sp un a complete game.
With t he victo ry, Half Moon Baystands alone atop the Bay Divisionstandings, with one-game leads overboth Hillsdale and Carlmont. It’s clearwhat is leading th e Cougars’ charge to 8-1 this season: a young, talented squadthat can rake at th e plate and dominate inthe pitcher’s circle.
The Cougars start only three seniors,with the rest o f the lin eup filled out withthree sophomores, two juniors and afreshman. As a team, t hey are battin g.379 this season and are averaging morethan s even runs per game.
Pitching-wise, the Cougars have one of the best 1-2 rotations in the league, withGarcia and junior Ally Sarabia, who havecombined to post a 1.06 ERA.
Despite the 5-0 start, Half Moon Baystill has a ton of work ahead of it. TheCougars play three games this week, fol-lowed by the Cougar Classic t ournament

innings, struck out sixand walked three. He is 0-5 in 10 starts againstMilwaukee.
“I thought I was greatout of the stretch,” hesaid. “Made some bigouts. It was just out of the windup, man, fallingbehind in the count, put-

Samardzija walked the first batter of thegame, then a single before Ryan Braun’sRBI single. Domingo Santana had a run-scoring single in the second and Carterhomered in the third, Samardzija settleddown and retired seven of his last nine bat-ters.
“He battled well,” Giants manager BruceBochy said. “He was off a little bit, but he

Now that is t he way baseball rats p arty forspring break.
With Carlmont on vacation this week forspring break, th e Scots baseball t eam decid-ed to play its best ball of the year. And
that’s really saying something, consideringthe reign ing Peninsula Athletic League BayDivision champs are off to a 14-2 start,including a 6-0 record in league play.
With four nonleague games scheduled thisweek, the Scots have won the first two by acombined score of 31-2, banging out 40hits in the process. The outpouring of offense started Monday with a 12 -0 shutoutof Woodside. Then on Tuesday the Scots ranup a 19-2 victo ry over Half Moon Bay.
Carlmont’s 19-run performance was theprogram’s best single-game run total since2009 when the Scots won 20-4 at SouthCity. And it is the most runs the Scots havescored at home i n manager Rich Vallero’s 11years at the helm. The last time they scoredas much at Carlmont was in 2005 under for-mer skipper Norman Hayes in a 19-2 victo-
ry over Menlo.“What’s going on rig ht now, it’s special,”
Vallero said. “I can’t even put my finger on
it. There’s no way I thought we could sur-pass what we did last year. … I knew we’d
have a bull’s-eye on o ur back. But the team
has responded.”What’s more is the relativ e youth of the
roster. Carlmont is relying on sevensophomores, including its leading hitterJordan Brandenburg, who is pacing thePAL Bay Division in each of the triple-crown categories.
But the offensive potency has been atop-to-bottom effort throughout the Scotslineup. In Tuesday’s 23-hit performance,
14 different Carlmont batters tabbed hits,with Brandenburg and senior ConnorLoucks leading the way with three hitsapiece.
As a team, Carlmont is currently hittingfor a remarkable .377 batting average. Lastyear in posting an overall record of 24-8,the Scots — who prided themselves o n dom-inant pitching and etched a staff ERA of 1.91 — hit just .262 as a team.
In fact, the team hasn’t finished a seasonhitting above the .300 mark since 2013when it tabbed a .303 average. The onlytime the Scots have done better duringVallero’s tenure was in 2009 with a whop-ping .334 season average, and that was twoyears prior to the regulation use of the less-potent composite bats now mandatorythroughout t oday’s amateur ranks.

OAKLAND — Sonny Gray overcamelingering effects of a stomach flu andmanaged a quality s tart hi s t eam needed.
Gray pitched seven strong innings,Mark Canha homered and the A’s beatthe Chicago White Sox 2-1 Wednesdaynight to avoid at three-game sweep.
Gray, scratched from an opening-daystart because of the illness, gave up arun and three hits, walking four andstriking o ut five.
“I felt OK,” Gray said. “I sti ll feel a li t-tle beat but I wanted to go out and try tomake pitches. This was a pretty impor-tant game. You don’t want to s tart 0-3. ”
Gray began to drag a bit after record-ing the first out of the seventh, butmaintained just enough to get threegroundouts in the inni ng.
“We’ve seen him pitch that type of game often,” A’s manager Bob Melvinsaid. “After a couple of losses, he getsmore inspired to go out and work deepinto games. It took a little out of him
but he stepped up.”According to White Sox catcher AlexAvila, Gray didn’t look tired.
“Damn good pitcher. I asked himtoday, ‘How you feeling?’ and he goes‘Not too good,”’ Avila said. “It didn’t
seem that way. He’sgot a lot of confi-dence in everythinghe throws. It’s ahang-with-him typeof day. You try t o sur-vive against guyslike that.”
John Axfordpitched a scorelesseighth and Ryan
Madsen got the final three outs for hisfirst save. Madsen’s last four saves havecome against the White Sox.
Chicago st arter Carlos Rodon gave uptwo runs and seven hits over seveninnings. He walked one and stuck outsix.
Jed Lowrie also had an RBI for the A’sand Jimmy Rollins drove in a run forChicago.
Adam Eaton singled twice and walked,reaching b ase safely i n 25 consecutivegames dating to last Sept. 9.
Billy Burns had two hits for the A’s.
What a relief
Madsen, who recorded just his fourthsave since 2011, said the challenge of finishing a close game gave him aboost.
“In spring training, I breezed throughit,” Madsen said. “This was probably
the first challenge I’ve had. My armcame alive out there.”
Madsen recorded 32 saves for thePhiladelphia Phillies in 2011 and wasout of baseball until joinin g th e KansasCity Royals last season.
He threw a 3-2 changeup for the finalout.
“I’ve done it a bunch, but in a newleague, it’s probably not as recogniza-ble now,” he said. “It was the right p itchat the right time and it was available.”
Mound happyRHP Henderson Alvarez threw 25
pitches i n a simulated game Wednesday,facing hitters for the first time sinceundergoing shoulder surgery.
Alvarez, expected to return in lateMay, will pi tch live battin g practice atSingle-A Stockton on Sunday as helooks to pitch in the majors for the firsttime since last May 22.
Trainer’s roomLHP Eric Surkamp will be recalled after
Thursday’s game and start for the A’s onFriday in Seattle’s home opener.
Surkamp appeared in 35 games, out of the bullpen, with the White Sox in 2014.“He’s got a nice, easy delivery,” Venturasaid. “He came in and did good work forus.” ... INF Eric Sogard (neck) will stayin Oakland to continue rehabbing.

Swiss police raid UEFA over TVdeal with indicted executives
GENEVA — UEFA was raided by Swiss police on Wednesday andhanded over evidence of a Champions League television rightscontract with an offshore marketing agency implicated in theFIFA bribery scandal.
The Swiss attorney general’s office said it requested raids on theEuropean soccer body and “another enterprise” for suspectedcriminal mismanagement and misappropriation linked to deal-
ings with Cross Trading, an offshore registered agency. CrossTrading is owned by two men indicted last year by American fed-eral prosecutors who are working with Swiss counterparts toinvestigate suspected corruption in international soccer.
UEFA and its Champions League marketing agency — TEAMMarketing based in Lucerne, Switzerland — made a $111,000 dealwith Cross Trading in 2006 for three seasons of broadcasting inEcuador. The 2006 contract, co-signed by current FIFA PresidentGianni Infantino when he was UEFA legal director, was leakedfrom the database of Panama-based law firm Mossack Fonseca.
Swiss prosecutors said “for the time being, no specific individ-ual is being targeted by these proceedings” which focused on the“acquisition of television rights.”
They have already targeted Infantino’s former boss, UEFAPresident Michel Platini, and his predecessor as FIFA president,Sepp Blatter. The Swiss criminal proceeding against Blatterincludes suspected mismanagement of undersold World Cup TVrights for the Caribbean region.
Soccer brief
even th ough the second baseman recorded the final p utout of the game on a nice running catch on a popup into shallowright field, it s till p ained her to go up against her old team.
“It was really awkward, especially since the other teamdidn’t even acknowledge me,” Co rnejo said. “It was a bitt er-sweet feeling. I miss them.”
Cayabyab had the breakout day at the plate though. The
second-year varsity junior has batted predominantly in themiddle of the order throughout her career. In light of a recentslump, however, she was bumped up to the leadoff spotTuesday. The results were sterling, as Cayabyab sing led ineach of the first two innings.
“My last few games, I have not been hitting,” Cayabyabsaid. “I’ve been striking out. But today … I went up therethinking I can make contact. I didn’t let the negativethoughts overwhelm me.”
After El Camino (1-3, 2-5) scored in th e top o f the first onan RBI single by cleanup hitter Sierra Sotelo, Cayabyabsparked a rally in the bot tom of th e frame with a solid lead-off single to left; she later scored on an RBI singl e by Baxterto tie it 1-1.
In the s econd inning , El Camino jumped back ahead whenKayla Cayago scored from second base on a combinationpassed ball-throwing error. The Colts l et a golden oppo rtu-nity slip away though, loading the bases with only one out,but stranding t hem full as South Cit y p itcher Naty Cercedes
ended the threat with one of h er 10 strik eouts on th e day.The Warriors seized the momentum from there, rallying
for four runs in the bottom of the inning.Jimenez opened the frame with a si ngle and moved around
to third on a one-out knock by Karlee Crespo. ThenCayabyab delivered an RBI single to tie it. Cercedes fol-lowed with her lone hi t of th e day, an in field single to p ush
home Crespo. Cayabyab then scored on an RBI groundoutby freshman No. 3 hitter Karizma Bergesen. The Warriorsscored their final run of the inni ng when the El Camino out-field dropped a routine fly ball, allowing Cercedes to crossthe plate to give South City a 5-2 l ead.
El Camino starting pitcher Taylor Smith soldiered throughto earn the compl ete game though. A left-handed freshman,Smith is the Colts’ only pitcher. And she’s a work inprogress at t hat. The southpaw had never pitched previous tothis year, but stepped into the circle in lieu of El Caminohaving no p itching on roster to start the season.
“She’s learning,” El Camino assistant coach Jim
Henderson said. “But today against the crosstown rival, Ithink she pitched her best game of the season.”
Smith exhibited a spree of good luck in the later innings.In the fifth, South City got two on with no outs. But Smithinduced a popup on a 3 -0 pitch for th e first out of the inn ing.Then after issuing a walk to load the bases, Smith yielded afrozen rope off the bat of Jimenez — also on a 3-0 p itch —that found the glove of shortstop Mikaela Pelesauma, whonabbed the lin er and threw behind the runner at t hird for aninni ng-ending double play.
Sotelo was a bright spot out of the cleanup spot for ElCamino. The seni or was 3 for 4 with an RBI and a run s cored.Jim Henderson said Sotelo has an unorthodox approach atthe plate, though it' s tough to argue with a th ree-hit day.
“She … makes contact constantly,” Jim Henderson said.“And she makes hard contact. So, it works. We’re trying toget some kinks out. But it works.”
Jim Henderson knows about unorthodox approaches.Having previously served as the head coach at Mercy-
Burlingame for 11 years, he spent plenty of time trying toget the kinks out of the swing of his daughter CristinaHenderson, who is now the h ead coach at El Camino.
South City and El Camino rematch April 5 at the Colts’home field of Terrabay School. The Warriors have won thelast s even recorded games — th ough results previous to thatare unavailable — between t he archrivals.

This year’s secret weapon has been the addition of new hit-ting coach Brian Vogel. A former third-base coach at Collegeof San Mateo, Vogel has brought a more aggressive approach
to the Scots’ lineup. The buzz phrase around the Carlmont bat-ting cage these days is “hunting fastballs.” In this sense,Vogel is encouraging Carlmont hitt ers to be marksmen.
“The addition o f Brian Vogel as an assis tant coach h ashelped change our mentality,” Vallero said. “We’re huntingstuff early in the count. We’re not being passive. And we’regetting stuff to hit. ”
Vogel h as been immersed in Carlmont culture for the pastthree years. As an officer of the Belmont Police Department,he has worked as Carlmont ’s School Resource Officer for thepast three years. His partner Milana Jordan, also an SRO, hasworked as an assistant coach with the Carlmont softball teamfor several years.
This season, after being out of t he game since leaving CSMin 20 12, Vogel decided to follow in his partner’s footsteps .
“They’re a talented group,” Vogel said of the Scots o ffense.“So it’s being able to get t hem to get a litt le bit more mature
understanding of how to hit. … It’s more than wanting to beaggressive. It’s about wanting to get hits more than beingafraid of making outs.”
The outstanding balance throughout the order currently haseight qualifying players hitting above the .300 mark. Of those eight, four are hitting above .400, includingBrandenburg who is leading the Bay Division with a .510average.
“We’ve talked to our guys about not getting so caught upwith where they’re hitting in the lineup and to just have qual-
ity at-bats, ” Vallero said.Carlmont has benefitted from two Serra transfers in juniorsSean Prozell, a pit cher, and Nick Bugbee. The latter is battinga skosh below the team average at .359; senior SpencerStewart is battin g . 350; senior Tyler Brandenburg, .345 ; andVinny Bolog na, .3 14. Those hittin g above .40 0 are Loucks at.425; s ophomore Zane Van Arsdel, .438; senior Andy Cross,.440 ; and Jordan Brandenburg, . 510.
Jordan Brandenburg is tied for the PAL Bay Divisi on h omerun lead with three, along with Bologna. Brandenburg’s 19RBIs lead the league, as does his .843 slugging percentage —this i n his first year as a varsity player.
“He’s just super, super talented,” Vallero s aid. “The guy can just roll out of bed and he can hit .”
Carlmont rounds out its spring break baseball party with agame Thursday against Lynbrook-San Jose before hostingPalo Alto Saturday at 2 p.m.

four walks. Urata reached on an error andMahanty a fielder’s choice. They also com-bined to score twice and drive in three runs.
“The top (of the lineup) has come throughin bi g RBI situations,” Madison said.
It was a short-lived lead, however, asBurlingame (2-3, 7-4) quickly tied the gameduring i ts first at-bat. Carlo Lopiccolo led off and singled on the first pi tch from Bettis andthen promptly stole second. He went to th irdon a groundout and scored on a Kaleb Keelean
sacrifice fly to left.
After that, both Vina and Bettis settleddown as t hey bo th follo wed rocky s tarts withthree innings of scoreless ball.
In the top of the fourth, Hillsdale re-tookthe lead with a two-out rally, with help fromthe Burlingame defense, which committed anerror that led to the unearned run. With twoouts, J axson Skidmore doubled down the left-field line on a full count. Urata followed witha chopper that caught the Burlingame thirdbaseman on the in-between hop and Uratawas safe on an error to extend the inning.Badet came to the plate and singled to centerto drive in Skidmore to give th e Knights a 2-1 l ead.
Once again, Burlingame answered in its
next at-bat, s coring twice to take a 3-2 lead.
Gray Goodman led off the inning with a sin-gle and went around to third when CooperGindraux slashed a hit to third base after fak-ing a bunt, which was booted. Tyler Gannonfollowed and put down a perfect safetysqueeze up the first-base line to plateGoodman with the t ying run.
Then, with Alex Waldsmith at the plate,Gindraux — who had moved to second on thebunt — broke for t hird. Wetteland, seeing hehad no chance to get Gindraux at third, triedto sto p his throw, but the ball came out of hishand and rolled up the third-base line in foulterritory.
Gindraux hit third and never stopped,motoring home with the go-ahead run.
Will Brownlow came on in relief of Vina to
start the fifth and got a 5-4-3 double play toget out of the i nning unscathed.
He was not so fortunate in the si xth. Withone out, Skidmore singl ed to left. Urata fol-lowed with an infield hit and Mahanty waswalked to load the bases, to bring Badet tothe plate for an RBI oppo rtunity.
He did not disappoint. After working thecount full, he flared an offering just over theshortsto p’s head and into shallow left field todrive in both Skidmore and Urata to give theKnights a 4-3 lead.
Wetteland then did the rest.“I was just looking for something to
drive,” Badet said. “This was a huge teamwin. This is a huge confidence boost. ”

“We lost t he first game by ni ne. The gameyesterday was a lot closer,” Carter said. “So,to come out and win today was good for us
goin g forward, knowing we can beat a teamlike this.”
The Giants won 12-3 on Monday and 2-1on Tuesday before Carter helped the Brewersavoid the s weep.
