Coming this afternoon

Here's what coming this afternoon in the glorious gold-flagged Enterprise sports section.

Athletes take major jump
With the basketball, diving and wrestling portions of the 2007 West Coast Amateur Athletic Union Junior Olympics wrapping up earlier this week, a competition of a different sort is taking center stage.
Even though it isn’t an activity shown on TV very often, jump rope is a popular sport among amateurs. Though there aren’t quite as many participants as there were last year, nearly 70 jump ropers will be competing in three different events starting today at Davis High School.

Cats fall to Grizzlies in 16 innings
WEST SACRAMENTO — All the issues facing this River Cats team — the constant shuffling of players, the uncertain bullpen and three-team race that appears to be growing tighter by the day — will still be there today. But by the time Thursday’s marathon game was over at Raley Field, everyone was too exhausted to talk about that.
Fresno’s Justin Knoedler doubled in Tomas De La Rosa with two outs in the top of the 16th inning to give Fresno an 8-7 win over the River Cats. Sacramento rallied in the bottom of the ninth after its bullpen had yielded a three-run advantage in the top of the inning.
