Coming this afternoon

Davis High's playoffs and the events at Raley Field pack today's Enterprise glorious gold-flagged sports section. And don't forget to tune in Sunday, when we add UC Davis baseball to mix.

Devils are turf tough
FOLSOM — Behind two goals from star forward Julie Gallaudet, the Blue Devils earned a berth in the section finals by eliminating the defending champion St. Francis 2-1 on Thursday night. Gallaudet’s goals equaled the total number St. Francis had allowed in 22 other games this year.

DHS baseball is battle tested
For eight teams, including Davis High, the Sac-Joaquin North Section Division I baseball playoffs start on Saturday at American River College. Four of those teams will also see their playoff runs end on Saturday, as the first round is single elimination. The day, known to participants as “Suicide Saturday,” is often more mentally challenging than physical.

DHS softball likes underdog role
It was a five-year dry spell for the Davis High School softball team, so the Blue Devils are taking a nothing-to-lose stance heading into the Sac-Joaquin Section Division I Playoffs. And why not? The Blue Devils only feature two seniors and clinched their berth on the final day of the regular season. DHS (9-10) takes on ex-Monticello Empire League foe, Napa (24-3), at noon Saturday at the Sacramento Softball Complex.

Another big Double Century is expected
Saturday is a big day for the Davis cycling community as well as anyone who has the ability to ride a bicycle for 200 miles. The 38th Davis Double Century is the most popular ride of its kind on the California Triple Crown schedule, often attracting close to 1,000 riders from all over the country and Canada.

Melillo helps depleted Sacramento edge Sky Sox
WEST SACRAMENTO -- The roster roller coaster continued for the River Cats, but a home run and double from Kevin Melillo put Sacramento past Colorado Springs.
