Officers get into ring for fundraiser
PECOS, May 22, 2000 -- Area law enforcement officials and other local residents
took to the ring Saturday night at the Riverside Ballroom, as part of a
fundraiser for the Pecos-Barstow Warbirds boxing team.
The matches and a martial arts exhibition were part of an effort to
raise funds to support future out-of-town trips for the Warbirds.
Pecos police investigator Paul Deishler said there were five bouts Saturday
along with the exhibition. He said he lost his fight by decision to R.L.
Tellez, while Oscar Machuca defeated Homer Lopez of the Fort Stockton police,
and Arnulfo Rivas decisioned Jesse Franco of the Trans-Pecos narcotics
task force.
In the other two fights, Carlos Ortiz of the Department of Public Safety’s
Midland office defeated Frank Sanchez of the Pecos Police Academy and in
the other bout, Warbirds’ trainer Roy Juarez scored a decision over Trent
Davis
Riverside ousts Pampa from playoffs
PECOS, May 22, 2000 -- The team the Pecos Eagles eliminated from the regional
quarterfinals of last year's Class 4A baseball playoffs, El Paso Riverside,
ousted the team that eliminated Pecos this time around, the Pampa Harvesters,
in an area round matchup over the weekend in Hobbs, N.M.
Riverside won a three game playoff from Pampa, taking a 7-1 decision
on Friday, then scoring in the bottom of the seventh inning to win Game
3, 5-4, on Saturday, after Pampa had come back to win the second game,
by an 11-4 score.
Sal Acevedo singled with one out and the bases loaded to score Omar
Ferinza, after a leadoff triple by Joe Villarreal, who was then forced
at home after Pampa walked the bases loaded.
Riverside's Beto Romo outpitched Pampa's Casey Owens to win Game 1,
but the Harvestered tied the series behind lefthander Brent Coffee in Game
2. Pecos had beaten Coffee in their opener the previous weekend, but lost
twice to Owens the following day at Lubbock.
It was the second straight series Riverside won with a run in their
final at-bat. They defeated Frenship in three games at Hobbs the previous
weekend. The Rangers will now face Denton Ryan in the Region I-4A semifinals
this weekend at a site and place to be determined.
