Giants turn to Zito in a Must-Win Game 5

 

GIANTS SEASON RIDES ON BARRY ZITO AS SAN FRANCISCO FACES A 3-1 DEFICIT IN NLCS

 

Must-win is an over-used term but for the San Francisco Giants they have reached that point.

The Giants are down 3-to-1 in their best-of-seven NLCS series against the Cardinals after last night's

8-3 loss. San Francisco now turns to Barry Zito, much maligned for years by Giants fans for his over-inflated

contract and his lack of production. The Giants season now rides on Zito.

 

The Giants have won 12 straight Zito starts, but his most recent appearance was a sketchy 2.2 inning struggle

against the Cincinnati Reds in the divisional series. The Giants know if they can somehow find a way to win tonight they will have their two best pitchers throwing Games 6 & 7 at  AT & T Park.

 

The Chico State men's and women's soccer teams are on the road at San Bernardino for some big matches today. The men (8-2-3 overall, 7-1-3 CCAA) look to run their unbeaten streak to 10 as they take on the Coyotes. It has been a season of frustration for the women (5-9 overall, 3-9 CCAA) the Wildcats enter today's match against San Bernardino haviing lost 7 of 8 with six of those losses by one goal. In fact the Chico State women's team has scored a total of 5 goals in their last 8 matches. The women play at 1230 while the men play at 3.

 

The Chico State volleyball team ( 13-6 overall, 7-5 CCAA) got a nice win on the road on Thursday. The Wildcats knocked off Humboldt State in four sets. They now get ready for a trip to Kellogg Gym in Pomona for a match on Saturday night.

 

The Chico State men's and women's Cross Country teams get ready for the CCAA Championships in La Jolla. Both Wildcat men's and women's teams are expected to do well as they prepare for the NCAA Championships in two weeks.
