Huntington Beach High baseball coach Benji Medure said Tuesday night that he feels like his team can play with anybody. It makes sense.

They never gave up, going from battling local teams from Orange County to teams from Washington and Hawaii.

There, they were edged by Corona, 5-4, in extra innings in the first game of the day at the Chino Hills fields. Then, Fountain Valley was bounced out of the tournament by host Chino Hills, 1-0, the lone run scoring on a passed ball.

The Huntington Beach Girls' Softball 14-and-Under All-Star teams won four games last weekend to capture first place in its division at the Brea All-Star Tournament.

Amanda Horowitz and Jacqueline Kent continued to dominate on the mound, as the two pitchers combined to allow just eight runs in four games. Horowitz had a one-hit shutout in the 12-0 win over West Valley of San Fernando.

I'm glad to be here writing another article about Red Bucket Equine Rescue. The last time I did, I thought for a moment I was going to suffer death by horse. Not that it was the animal's fault - and certainly not Red Bucket's. The nonprofit, which operated until this summer at the Huntington Central Park Equestrian Center, has sheltered, fed and rehabilitated dozens of sick and abandoned horses. When I heard that the equestrian center had given Red Bucket a timeline to move out, I pulled for the horses to find a new home, and I was relieved when a new arrangement materialized in Chino Hills.

The trailer had arrived to take Finbar away from his home of the last three years, the place where he arrived scared and starving and gradually regained his health, his energy and 400 pounds. And for the moment, the horse wasn't budging. In the grand scheme of things, it was a happy day for Finbar - probably the happiest in many months. He and dozens of other horses would soon depart their stalls at the Huntington Central Park Equestrian Center and arrive at Red Bucket Equine Rescue's new sanctuary at a ranch in Chino Hills, which it had acquired two weeks ago after months of uncertainty.
