Bits & Pieces: Cross to LHS, Diamond Bits



CROSS TO RETURN TO LHS

As widely expected but not officially confirmed, DON CROSS will join the Lompoc High football coaching staff, it was announced at the end-of-the-year LHS sports BBQ.



Cross, pictured here with Penn State's Joe Paterno, served as head coach at Cabrillo for five years. He will resume the spot as LHS defensive coordinator which he held before departing for Cabrillo. His Cabrillo job will be filled by CRAIG KNOWLES.

BASEBALL TIDBITS






ANDY SHIPMAN got 40 innings on the mound in the first half of Texas League play for the Midland RockHounds. His ERA is holding steady at a level higher than he would like-- 6.08.

BRIAN AGUAILAR finished the South Atlantic League’s first half by inching his batting average above the Mendoza line at .217. Ags has seen action in just seven games for the league-leading Tourists. The two catchers who are platooned ahead of him are batting .236 and .162 --not exactly burning up the league. How about giving Brian a chance there, Rockies?

CHRIS WHITE’s opening day with the Oneonta Tigers Tuesday night was not great. The centerfielder left the game in the fifth inning with a leg injury—severity to be determined. He made no appearance Wednesday night.

Infielder COREY DOTZLER has started every game and is batting .279 for the Santa Maria Indians.
