SoftballDivision IIIPinole Valley 1, San Marin 0On a team headlined, rightfully so, by senior pitcher Kailani Tatro, it was two unheralded freshman who were the difference in Pinole Valley’s 1-0 victory over visiting San Marin in the North Coast Section Division III semifinal. Freshman Gabriella Ornelas doubled in the bottom of the sixth inning, notching Pinole Valley’s first hit of the night. Driving her pinch-runner Jordan Mendoza in was fellow first-year player Jazabella Cabrera. That was all the offense the Spartans would get, not that they needed any more that that with Tatro locked in against the visitors. The senior got her 26th victory of the season after striking out 11, allowing just two hits, and walking none. Pinole Valley, now 26-1, had enjoyed a bye through the first round as the No. 1 seed. The Spartans will play No. 4 Albany, a rival from the Tri-County Athletic League Rock Division, on Wednesday for a spot in the section championship.

ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Greeks were voting Sunday in the first election since their country’s economy ceased to be subject to strict supervision and control by international lenders who had provided bailout funds during its nearly decade-long financial crisis.The vote pitches conservative Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, 55, a Harvard-educated former banking executive, against 48-year-old Alexis Tsipras, who heads the left-wing Syriza party and served as prime minister during some of the financial crisis’ most turbulent years, as the two main contenders.The rising cost of living was at the forefront of many voters’ minds as they headed to polling centers set up in schools across the country.“Every year, instead of improving, things are getting worse,” said Athens resident Dimitris Hondrogiannis, 54, “Things are expensive. Every day, things are getting out of control. It’s enough to make you afraid to go to the supermarket to shop.

Biden and world leaders at the gathering for industrial nations in Japan had been closely tracking the negotiations, looking for signs of a compromise that would ensure the federal government can keep paying its bills and avoid a potentially catastrophic default.Biden has tried to project optimism even as the talks back in Washington were rocky. Republicans are rejecting a White House plan that would impose less strict cuts while also increasing revenues. The two sides are up against a deadline as soon as June 1 to raise its borrowing limit, now at $31 trillion.“We’re going to get a chance to talk l...Latest news
