IRVINE — So far this season, the pen is mightier than the rotation for the UC Irvine baseball team. That trend held true Saturday night, even when the rotation borrowed from the bullpen to give former reliever Wes Etheridge his first start. Etheridge was solid through five innings and left with a 3-2 lead. But when visiting Utah rallied to tie the score in the seventh off Cole Hathcock, the bullpen was, once again, willing to prove it had the starters' back. Anteaters relievers Dylan Axelrod, Tom Calahan and Blair Erickson combined for three shutout innings to help the hosts rally for a 5-3 nonconference victory at Anteater Ballpark.

Rick Devereux Corona del Mar High senior Taylor Meehan is getting used to making transitions from spacious environments to more crowded surroundings. The 18-year old Meehan moved from Park City, Utah, to Balboa Island last year and switched from inside linebacker on the football team to defensive end in the fourth week of the season following injuries to the regular starter on the defensive line.

Barry Faulkner An NFL draft that began Saturday with the selection of a Utah hero, ended Sunday by refocusing a more subtle spotlight on the southwest corner of the state. But St. George, Utah native Andy Stokes, chosen by the New England Patriots with the 255th and final pick to become Mr. Irrelevant XXX, seemed no less enthused about his football future than former Utah quarterback Alex Smith, who went No. 1 to the San Francisco 49ers. As Mr. Irrelevant, Stokes will be the featured guest of the 30th annual Irrelevant Week celebration, scheduled June 20-25 in Newport Beach.

Young Chang What remains at the front of Loren and Richard Moriarty's memory of their trip to Utah last month is not the women's hockey game at the Winter Olympics nor the skiing and the yoga classes, but ice angels. And ice eagles, frozen gods and goddesses, even an iced scene of a lion attacking a deer attempting to flee. They arrived at the spot of the International Ice Carving Competition in Provo, Utah at about 11 p.m. They found more than 30 international ice sculpting teams from around the world creating art from 300-pound blocks of ice. "It was all lit up by light," said Loren Moriarty of Newport Beach.

Andrew Albers is moving up the depth chart with the University of Utah football program. And the 6-foot-8, 285-pound lineman from Costa Mesa High is not even on the college campus yet. The senior plans to leave next month for Utah, where Albers' father, Frank, said the Utes are thin on the offensive line. "They're down four or five offensive linemen now," said Frank, who was with his son last weekend, when Andrew decided to join Utah as a preferred-walk-on player. "[The coaches]

As he turned the corner and ran toward the finish-line tape, Peter Omae Ayieni knew he would become the men's champion of the eighth annual OC Marathon. Ayieni, a 34-year-old from Kenya, believed he could win the race since the sixth-mile mark, when he said he felt comfortable. He went on to win his second straight men's overall title in 2 hours, 31 minutes, 18 seconds Sunday morning.

Jurors recommended the death penalty Thursday for a 42-year-old man who raped and stabbed a pregnant woman to death in her Costa Mesa apartment 25 years ago, according to a court official. Jason Michael Balcom was convicted in March 2012 of raping 22-year-old Malinda Gibbons and stabbing her in the chest in 1988, but the jury at the time deadlocked 10 to 2 on whether he should face the death penalty. A new jury began its deliberation in the case late Tuesday, and came back with a verdict just before 11 a.m. Thursday, a court official said.
