Riders stuck as Knott's Berry Farm rollercoaster stalls

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:51:06 GMT

A group of riders were stuck after a rollercoaster at Knott’s Berry Farm stalled on Friday night.Citizen video captured riders’ feet dangling on the tall lift hill of the Silver Bullet coaster as they ascended toward the first drop.Park crew members responded to the area and were seen climbing toward the trapped guests while they remained strapped into their seats. Silver Bullet is an inverted suspension coaster that opened in 2004 and has since become one of the park’s marquee attractions.Due to the coaster’s many high-thrill elements such as corkscrews, cobra rolls, zero-g rolls and vertical loops, all riders are strapped in with over-the-shoulder restraints. Video captured guests looking on as park workers attended to the coaster train. It's unclear what initially caused the ride to stall.No injuries were reported so far.

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:51:06 GMT

MILWAUKEE — The Giants tried and failed once this week to climb over .500. In their second attempt on Friday, they left little doubt.Unloading on Brewers starter Freddy Peralta, the Giants brought 10 men to the plate in the third inning and scored seven of them, providing ample cushion for Alex Wood and San Francisco’s bullpen in a 15-1 rout, their second in a row over the Brewers and their ninth in their past 11 games. With their run of red-hot play, the Giants (26-25) will wake up Saturday morning with a winning record for the first time since Aug. 17 of last season.Their scoring explosion in the third inning eclipsed even what they were able to accomplish playing in the pinball machine that was Estadio Harp Helu in Mexico City last month, scoring their most runs in an inning since last April, a figure they have topped in a full game only three times this season.Leading the charge, Mitch Haniger drove in a season-high four runs, accomplishing something he hasn’t done s...

Nordqvist, Knight hit clutch shots to advance in LPGA Match Play

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:51:06 GMT

NORTH LAS VEGAS, Nev. (AP) — Anna Nordqvist had all three of her matches go the distance, and only a clutch wedge kept her from playing even more Friday as she was among 16 players who advanced out of group play in the Bank of Hope LPGA Match Play.Nordqvist would have faced a three-way playoff if she lost to Andrea Lee. That appeared likely when the Swede hit into the creek in front of the 18th green at Shadow Creek while Lee was on the green some 50 feet from the hole.Nordqvist, the top seed in her group, hit a wedge that caught the back slope and settled 3 feet away and Lee three-putted for bogey to halve the match and send Nordqvist (2-0-1 in group play) into the weekend.“I hit a good wedge in there to tie the match,” Nordqvist said. “I’m very happy to move on.”Cheyenne Knight was just as clutch, minus the water. She came in 2-0 in her group and needed only to halve her match against Sei Young Kim to advance. Otherwise, Knight would have faced a three-way playoff.Kim was 1 ...

ATLANTA (AP) — Craig Kimbrel became the eighth pitcher in major league history to earn 400 saves, Brandon Marsh hit a go-ahead, two-run single in the sixth inning and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Atlanta Braves 6-4 on Friday night.Making his 730th career appearance, the 34-year-old Kimbrel worked a scoreless ninth to get his sixth save in six chances this season.

Judge: School district can bar student from wearing Mexican and American flag sash at graduation

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:51:06 GMT

DENVER (AP) — A federal judge ruled Friday that a rural Colorado school district can bar a high school student from wearing a Mexican and American flag sash at her graduation this weekend after the student sued the school district.Judge Nina Y. Wang wrote that wearing a sash during a graduation ceremony falls under school-sponsored speech, not the student’s private speech. Therefor, “the School District is permitted to restrict that speech as it sees fit in the interest of the kind of graduation it would like to hold,” Wang wrote.The ruling was over the student’s request for a temporary restraining order, which would have allowed her to wear the sash on Saturday for graduation because the case wouldn’t have resolved in time. Wang found that the student and her attorneys failed to sufficiently show they were likely to succeed, but a final ruling is still to come. It’s the latest dispute in the U.S. about what kind of cultural graduation attire is allowed at co...

I’ve got to be a little bit more efficient and not walk so many people, but they bailed me out with so I was able to get through six.”Joey Wentz (1-5) gave up five runs on six ...
