Down one run in the seventh inning, Sanger used their final at bats to score the tying run and extend the game to extra innings. And after Dinuba was unable to muster any offense in the top of the eighth inning, the Apaches took advantage of their late momentum and won the game on a walk-off run in the bottom of the eighth, winning the game 3-2.
After Saturday’s loss to Sanger, Dinuba’s overall record fell to 11-6. They traveled to Visalia on Tuesday to take on Central Valley Christian in their sixth league game of the season. Tuesday’s game against the Cavaliers was the second meeting between the two teams. Dinuba beat CVC 2-1 in a home game back on Mar. 15.

As for the Lady Emperors track team, the long distance runner continued to make strides for the team. Sophomore Jackie Delgado ran a personal record time of 2:33.66 in the 800-meters race to take home second place in the event.
She also took first place in the 1600-meters race with a time 5:41.21. Teammate Luz Diaz finished right behind her in the event with a second-place finish of 5:48.32.
In the 3200-meters race, freshmen Ali Ontiveras and Amando Soto finished in third and fourth place, respectively. Ontiveras finished with a time of 13:33.60 while Soto put in a personal record performance with a time of 13:40.71.
Sophomore Yazmine Villarreal Harris was the top finisher in the discus event, crushing the competition with a throw of 108’07”, nearly 17 feet further than the second place finisher.
Junior Karla Gonzalez finished in fifth place in the shot put event with a throw of 28’0.75”, a personal record for her.
Dinuba High’s track and field team will next compete in the Jared Verbeek Invitational at Mt. Whitney tomorrow afternoon. They will then be competing in the West Coast Relays at Buchanan on Saturday.

that door open and they’re going...”
Lady Emperors vs. CVC
In Dinuba’s league opener, the Lady Emperors faced yet another tough opponent. Central Valley Christian entered Tuesday’s game with a 12-2 overall record. That record, impressive as it may seem, was only good enough for second place in the top-heavy Central Sequoia League.

Sentinel staff report
Last year’s enrollment fee to join the Dinuba Gladiators youth football program was $135. This year, after receiving a $5,000 donation from an anonymous donor, the league is dropping their fees to just $55.
“This is going to allow a lot of young kids, who might not normally have the opportunity, a chance to play the game of
football,” said Gladiator’s Sam Smith.
According to Smith, the donation will cover the cost of running the league for the year and the $55 fee will cover the cost of the uniforms, something players will keep at the end of the year. The Gladiators will be conducting a conditioning camp on Sunday at KC Park.
For more information, call Smith at 307-3249.
