CdM 1-2 in tourney

IRVINE - The Corona del Mar High softball team was defeated by

Villa Park, 7-4, Monday in the second round of consolation play in the

Woodbridge Tournament at Bob Barber Park.

Monday’s loss came after the Sea Kings split a pair Saturday, when

they defeated Serra, 7-1, after a 3-2 loss to Faith Baptist.

In the victory over Serra, senior Mijanou Pham tossed a complete-game

two-hitter, while freshman outfielder Katrina Ridelscheimer, called up

from the junior varsity, was 2 for 3 with an RBI.

Alissa Zoelle went 2 for 3 with an RBI to lead the six-hit attack

against Villa Park.

CdM Coach Terry Christiano said freshmen Sara Stern and Anika Gaar

also performed well in their first varsity action, after spending the

season with the JV.

Sophomore Meaghan Bunney had a double and drove in a run with a walk

against Villa Park.

CdM (9-7) returns to tournament play with two games Saturday, against

opponents to be determined.

Reunion set for Richardson

NEWPORT BEACH - A reunion of former Newport Harbor High football

players, primarily from the 1948 and ’49 squads, will get together in

honor of Harlow Richardson, who died April 7 following a series of

medical setbacks the past five years, former Harbor teammate and Newport

Beach resident Hank Weber said Monday.

The reunion for Richardson, featured as a member of the Daily Pilot

Sports Hall of Fame on March 26, will be held at the Five Crowns

restaurant in Corona del Mar from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. April 29. Details:

(949) 548-0851.

Richardson, voted Tar of the Year in 1950 after excelling in football,

basketball and baseball, was also a gridiron standout at Orange Coast

College and Long Beach State.

Richardson died in Boulder, Colo. He was 68. Richardson is survived by

his wife, Sonya, and two children, Christy Cope and Kari. Richardson had

one grandchild, a three-month daughter.

“He was able to see his granddaughter and hold her,” Sonya Richardson

said Monday night.

Harlow Richardson read his Hall of Fame story in the Daily Pilot less

than two weeks before his passing.
