Calloway won its state title after beating Reidland in 2004, and Reidland won its last year after a win over Calloway in the finals. “Our last two times we had to face (former Reidland ace) Cassee Layne and that’s a hard chore,” Calloway coach Troy Webb said. “This time we don’t have her to face, but we’re going to have ei- ther Reidland or Marshall, two very good teams, and Marshall’s beat us three times already and Reidland beat us by one, but who- ever we get we don’t feel like we’re going to be overmatched like we were the last couple times we’ve been in the finals.” Reidland will face Calloway pitcher Lindsey Rucker, one of the relative unknowns in the re- gion as a first-year senior starter. Rucker gave up nine hits to Bal- lard and Heath over the past two games, striking out nine and walking just two. “We’ve had trouble with Cal- loway the other two games we’ve had,” Heath coach Lyne Dickey said, her offensive-minded club getting just four hits off Rucker. “She changes her speed in those pitches and that’s the key to it. That’s why she’s so good, she don’t have to have anything else because she can just change that speed on you and it just keeps you off balance.” Reidland has history behind it as defending state champions, winning the All A Classic state title for the second year in a row and now on a 12-game winning streak heading into tonight. “Usually when you have it this tough each night, you usually play well that third night,” Reidland Reidland still in repeat hunt BY DUSTY LUTHY SHULL [email protected]Please see SOFT | 3B LANCE DENNEE | The Sun Taylor Armstrong (left) of Calloway County beats out a throw to Heath first baseman Caroline Webb in the second inning of the First Region softball tour- nament in Mayfield on Tuesday.

Lone Oak’s Colby Griggs slides into second to break up a possible double play as Mayfield second baseman Chase Sevic throws to first during the seventh inning of the First Region tournament at Brooks Stadium in Paducah on Tuesday. Mayfield beat the defending regional champions 10-8 and plays Calloway County today in the regional finals.
Just call her Lauren “Lights Out” Cartwright.

points — holding up three fi ngers when it was over, a clear nod to the three wins Miami needs for a title — and Mario Chalmers added 12 for the Heat, who host Game 2 on Thursday night.
Wade’s 3-pointer with 3:06 left put the Heat up 82-73, then the largest lead of the game for either team. The Mavs shaved two points off it on the next possession when Nowitzki hit two free throws, but James gave the Heat their fi rst double-digit lead of the fi nals a few sec-onds later.
He dribbled upcourt against Shawn Marion, crossed his dribble over and got clear for a dunk while being fouled. The free throw made it 85-75, and
most in the sellout, white-clad crowd began standing in anticipation.
Even then, it wasn’t over. Nowitzki made two more free throws — he was 12 for 12 from the line for the game — with 1:36 left, cut-ting the Miami lead to six.
A momentary blip.Wade grabbed a key de-

PARIS — Quickly and rather quietly, Roger Federer is back in the French Open semifi nals.
There will be absolutely noth-ing low-key — or, it seems safe to say, easy — about what comes next for the 16-time Grand Slam champion: a showdown
against Novak Djokovic, who is 41-0 this year and unbeaten in his last 43 matches overall.
With attention focused else-where, perhaps in part because some assume his best days are behind him, the no-fuss, no-muss Federer simply has won all 15 sets he’s played so far, capped Tuesday by a 6-4, 6-3,
7-6 (3) quarterfi nal victory over No. 9-seeded Gael Monfi ls of France.
Djokovic’s quarterfi nal oppo-nent, Fabio Fognini, withdrew Monday with an injured left leg.
Today’s men’s quarterfi nal include No. 4 Andy Murray against unseeded Juan Ignacio Chela of Argentina.
No. 5 Francesca Schiavone of Italy, the defending champion, came back after losing 10 of the fi rst 12 games and beat No. 14 Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova of Russia 1-6, 7-5, 7-5. She plays No. 11 Marion Bartoli of France, who defeated No. 13 Svetlana Kuznetsova of Russia, the 2009 champion, 7-6 (4), 6-4.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — A day after coach Jim Tressel’s forced resignation for lying about Ohio State players receiving improper benefits, the focus has shifted to the investigation of star quarterback Terrelle Pryor and his succession of used cars.
The salesman who put Pryor behind the wheel of several vehicles said in a sworn affidavit re-leased by Ohio State on Tuesday that he didn’t offer any special deals to Buckeyes.
“The deals that I did for Ohio State student-athletes were no different than any of the other 10,000-plus deals that I’ve done for all my other customers,” Aaron Kniffin said in the statement.
Ohio State confirmed that the NCAA continues to look into potential violations. The Columbus Dispatch has reported that the NCAA and Ohio State are investigating more than 50 vehicle pur-chases by Buckeyes players, family members and friends over the past. Sports Illustrated, citing a source close to the investigation, reported that Pryor, who will be a senior this fall, might have driven as many as eight cars in his three years in Columbus.
McCourt makes Dodgers’ payroll
LOS ANGELES — Los Angeles Dodgers owner Frank McCourt has paid his major league bills — for now. Despite baseball officials who believed he didn’t have enough money to cover the team’s end-of-the-month payroll, the embattled McCourt was able to cover Dodgers-related expenses Tuesday, said a person familiar with the situation who requested anonymity because he wasn’t au-thorized to speak publicly.
Based on an opening-day payroll of $103.8 million, the payroll for its major league roster in the second half of May was about $8.25 million.
Stern considers new deal a ‘challenge’
MIAMI — David Stern says it will be “a chal-lenge” to reach a deal for a new collective bar-gaining agreement before the current one expires in a month. Speaking before Game 1 of the NBA finals on Tuesday night, Stern says a deal to prevent a work stoppage will depend on whether both sides “will be bold enough to do what has to be done here.”

Calloway 5, Heath 1 — With two outs in the top of the fi rst inning, Heath pitcher Neely Quint loaded the bases with two walks and a hit batter only to have Cal-loway County center fi elder Taylor Futrell hit a bases clearing double for Callo-way to go up 3-0.

Calloway 11, Reidland 6— Calloway County rocked Reidland starter Micah Chessor for nine runs in two-plus in-nings but needed a three-inning stint from ace Dylan Dwyer to hold off Re-idland.
“We had a big lead, but they scored and had some momentum, so we wanted to put a stop to that, espe-cially the way we’d seen them claw their way back against Ballard (Memo-rial in the fi rsr round,” said Calloway coach Ryan Hobbs, whose program hasn’t won a regional title since 1986.Dwyer relieved Garrett Cowen to start the fi fth and struck out nine of the 11 hit-ters he faced, including fi ve straight to end the game, in a 45-pitch effort.
“That’s just a little more than a normal bullpen session for him two days before a start,” Hobbs said. “We went about 10 pitchers longer than we wanted to, but he’ll be fi ne. ”
Dwyer, who started at designated hitter, also had two hits and a walk and scored twice, has no qualms about throwing again on Thursday.

Associated PresNEW YORK — That screech-
ing sound you heard in May? That was the stock market.
While the month ended with four days of gains in most of the indexes, con-cerns that high gas prices, tornadoes and fl ooding in the South, the post-natural disaster slowdown in Japan and a growing debt crisis in Europe sent the Standard and Poor’s 500 stock index down 1.4 percent in May. That decline followed a 2.85 percent gain in April, which
followed gains that set the fastest pace in the fi rst quar-ter since 1998. Before this month, stocks were boosted by higher corporate earnings, increased business spending and a global economic ex-pansion.
Other risky assets also saw declines in May, following a year of increases. The prices of commodities like oil, cattle and coffee fell by an aver-age of 7 percent. Meanwhile, Treasury bond prices, which tend to rise when inves-tors fear that the economy is slowing, rose to near their highest level of the year.
For Tuesday, the stock market ended higher, on signs that Germany might drop its demands for an early rescheduling of Greek bonds, paving the way for a deal that could prevent Greece from defaulting on its debt. The S&P index gained 14.10, or 1.1 percent, to 1,345.20. The Dow Jones industrial average added 128.21, or 1 percent, to 12,569.79. And the Nasdaq composite rose 38.44, or 1.4 percent, to 2,835.30.
These gains came in spite of another grim report on the U.S. housing market. Home prices in in 12 of the 20 cit-
ies tracked by the Standard & Poor’s/Case-Shiller index dropped in March to the lowest levels since the hous-ing bubble popped in 2006. “Home prices continue on their downward spiral with no relief in sight,” said Da-vid Blitzer, chairman of the index committee at S&P In-dices.
Oliver Pursche, president of Gary Goldberg Financial Services, said the report didn’t hurt investors’ con-fi dence much because their expectations for the U.S. housing market were al-ready low.

Dear Annie: I am looking forward to my daughter’s wed-ding. She wants her father, my ex, to walk her down the aisle. He comes from a dysfunction-al family, and none of them speaks to the others.
My ex, who is helping to pay for the wedding, insists that no invitations go to any of his family. He has threatened to walk out if any of them attend. However, our daughter has developed a good relation-ship with her “Aunt Marie and Uncle John.” They have been there for her and contributed so much to her life.
Obviously, my daughter very much wants to invite this aunt and uncle. Should she disregard her father’s wishes and risk the chance that he will not be part of her wed-ding? She could ask her step-father to escort her down the aisle. He has raised her for the past 15 years. She loves her
father and does not want to alienate him. It is terribly im-portant to her that he give her away. What should she do? — Mother of the Bride.
Dear Mother: We dis-like it when people is-sue ultimatums about who can be invited. Your ex-husband has put his daughter in a terrible po-sition. She needs to talk to him, explaining that her aunt and uncle have been good to her, and it would mean a lot if he would be fl exible enough to include them. If he refuses to re-consider, your daughter must decide how impor-tant it is that her father walk her down the aisle. Sorry.
Dear Annie: Thank you for
printing the letter from “Kut-tawa, Ky.,” who has issues with background noise and loud commercials during TV programs.
My husband is a sci-fi fan who is going deaf. I, on the other hand, have super-sen-sitive hearing and can hear a pin drop at 50 feet. Too many times, he complains that he cannot hear the dialogue and cranks up the volume, when the background noise is ex-cruciating to people with nor-mal hearing, let alone those like me. Kuttawa is not the only one suffering from the cacophony. — Guelph in Can-ada.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Focus on what you can do for others and you will feel good about who you are and what you have
done. Someone you care about will be a burden but in the end your hard work and support will pay off in the results you get.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Less is more, so don’t overspend, overdo or overindulge. Altering the way you do things will have a huge, favorable impact on your current situation and your future.

BY DAVID HILTBRANDMcClatchy-Tribune News ServicePHILADELPHIA — It’s no
surprise that Mark-Paul Gosselaar and Breckin Meyer have such strong chemistry as a pair of outrageous attorneys on TNT’s new series, “Frank-lin & Bash.”
These two guys are so much cut from the same cloth, they probably share threads.
They’re the same age — 37. Both got into the business as child actors. Even their hair color is so similar that Meyer had to lighten his for the show to avoid confusion.
Both have held onto un-usual fi rst names despite advice early in their ca-reers to adopt more con-ventional showbiz handles.
“Breckin is a Welsh name,” says Meyer as he and his costar barnstorm through Philadelphia to promote their show, which debuts Wednesday at 9 p.m. EDT on TNT. “My father heard it once and liked it. But he spelled it wrong; it’s supposed to be Brecken.”
And that middle name, Erin?
“If I was a girl, I was go-ing to be named Erin,” he says. “I guess they thought, ‘We bought ‘em, might as well use ‘em.’”
As for Gosselaar, “there’s no explanation for why I have two fi rst names,” he says. “All my siblings ex-cept me have very Ameri-canized names for a Dutch immigrant family.”
(Yes, Meyer has some Dutch blood in his ances-try.)
The easiest distinction between the two actors is that Gosselaar enjoys a height advantage over Meyer, who has been tak-ing grief for his 5-foot-5 frame his whole career.
“My fi rst starring role was in ‘Road Trip’ (a 2000 fi lm),” he says. “I was so excited reading my fi rst review. I remember it was really positive. Then in the middle the critic referred to me as ‘a trash-compact-ed Bill Maher.’ I thought, ‘There’s no reason to write that. That’s just (expletive) mean.’”
The ribbing has followed him onto the “Franklin & Bash” set. He remembers shooting a scene in the pi-lot with Malcolm McDow-ell, who plays the boss who hires the two cheeky icon-oclasts for his corporate law fi rm.
“I don’t know him at all,” says Meyer. “To me, he’s a living legend. The whole time we’re doing our lines together, he’s staring at my scalp.
“I’m like, ‘Come on, meet my gaze.’ I fi gure he’s messing with me. Finally we get the scene and I go, ‘Malcs, what the hell are you doing?’ He said, ‘I’m looking at the height of a normal man.’”
Gosselaar has the more standard matinee-idol looks. The only razzing he has taken for his appear-ance stemmed from the
shoulder-length hair he adopted for his previous TNT series, “Raising the Bar.”
“I’m the Felicity of legal dramas,” he says, referring to Keri Russell’s celebrat-ed locks on the drama of the same name. “No one could look past the hair. It created this polarizing reaction. We had seven million viewers for ‘Rais-ing the Bar’s’ debut and I think half of them didn’t show up the next week be-cause of the hair.”
Both actors are still of-ten recognized and ac-costed for work they did decades ago. Meyer often gets “Hey, it’s Travis” from his role as a teenage skate-boarder in the fi lm “Clue-less.”
(Weird trivia: Brittany Murphy played Meyer’s girlfriend in “Clueless.”
Years later, he would re-place her as the voice of Joseph Gribble on the ani-mated series “King of the Hill.”)
Gosselaar admits his head still turns when someone shouts out “Zack.” That was the name of his character on the tweener comedy “Saved by the Bell,” a show that has gained eternal life in syn-dication.
He’s pretty sure his fi rst kiss was a scripted one on that sitcom.
Meyer’s earliest buss is a matter of public re-cord, thanks to Drew Bar-rymore’s memoir, “Little Girl Lost.” ‘‘We were 11,” he says. “Drew changed the names of everyone in the book. Except mine.”
His fi rst on-screen kiss was also memorable. In the 1998 fi lm “54,” he locked lips with Ryan Phil-lippe.
Between them, Gosse-laar and Meyer have nearly 50 years of on-camera ex-perience.
According to Jason En-sler, the executive produc-er of “Franklin & Bash,” that seasoning is a huge asset.
“We got very, very lucky,” he says. “These guys never miss a mark; they never miss a line. When you’ve got that in your back pock-et, you can play with other things. Their professional-ism gives us so much cre-ative freedom.”
Work ethic. Just one more thing these two have in common.
DES MOINES, Iowa — A back injury has forced actor Michael J. Fox to withdraw from the Principal Charity Classic pro-am golf event in West Des Moines this week.
Fox had been expected to tee off at the Glen Oaks Country Club on Wednesday.
The Des Moines Regis-ter reported Tuesday that tournament spokeswoman Joelle Kirchhoff says Fox has decided against making the trip after hurting his back. He competed in the tourney in 2009.
The Principal Charity Clas-sic, a Champions Tour Event, runs from Friday through Sunday at Glen Oaks.
Dallas nightclubpatron sues comedian
Andy Dick
DALLAS — A Texas man is suing comedian Andy Dick over his December perfor-mance at a Dallas nightclub.
Robert Tucker claims he suffered emotional distress and defamation as a result of an alleged incident in which Dick exposed his geni-tals while walking through the audience.
The suit filed May 10 also names a talent agency that represents the comedian and the club where he per-formed. It says they should have known Dick’s “long his-tory of assaulting patrons.”
The lawsuit cites Dick’s January 2010 arrest on felony sexual abuse charges, after al-legations he groped a bouncer and patron at a Huntington, W. Va., bar, as well as other incidents.
Court documents don’t list an attorney for Dick. His at-torney in the West Virginia case didn’t immediately return a call from The Associated Press.
Delayed ‘Hobbit’ films get release dates, titles
NEW YORK — Peter Jack-son’s two-film adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien’s “The Hobbit” has release dates.
New Line Cinema, Warner Bros. and MGM announced Monday that “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey” will be released Dec. 14, 2012. The sequel, “The Hobbit: There and Back Again,” is to be re-leased Dec. 13, 2013.
The films have suffered repeated delays over studio funding problems, a threat-ened actors’ boycott and ulcer surgery for Jackson. Shot con-secutively, they began filming in March in New Zealand.
The 3-D “Hobbit” films are prequels to Jackson’s Oscar-winning “Lord of the Rings” trilogy. The movies star Martin Freeman, Elijah Wood, Ian McKellen, Cate Blanchett and Orlando Bloom.
