DRAGON SKATE: UCI's reckless abandonments risk their limbs in this year's Dragon Skate Race on California Ave.

BASEBALL: Anteaters score five in the bottom of the ninth, but lose by one after miraculous comeback.

THE ORACLE: Last week I described my experience riding all-terrain vehicles in Pismo Beach. Once again, I found myself in an extreme sports environment this Saturday. I went broom-balling in Anaheim for a birthday party on Saturday night.

WATER POLO: After some turbulence in 2008, Anteaters seem locked to improve on 15-12 season.

ROWING: The varsity eight salvages revenge against Long Beach State, finishes ninth in Regatta.

BASEBALL: Despite his off-the-chart talent, the humble redshirt sophomore stays very even-keeled.

BASEBALL: After a fast start and a few road bumbs, Shine explains where the Anteaters go from here.

THE PROPHECY: No matter how bitter Anteater fans remain over Coach Dave Serrano's shady departure, we will always be indebted to his finest gift to us: the right-handed, 5-foot-9 catcher-turned-pitcher from Stockton, Calif.

THE PROPHECY: The depth in UC Irvine's bench is like an AM/PM advertisement: "Too much good stuff."

BASEBALL: Dominant pitching performances by Gorgen and Stowell propel UCI past Matadors in two games.

THE ORACLE: Over this past weekend, I learned the difficulties of extreme sports the hard way. I did also, however, realize the reasons for the increasing appeal of the industry.

Tennis: Clare Fermin and Becka Kwan have the chemistry and talent to reverse UCI's fortunes against nemesis 49ers.
