SEATTLE -- Cal State Bakersfield's softball season ended Friday with a 2-1 loss to Seattle University at the Western Athletic Conference Tournament.

The Roadrunners finish 15-40. They went 0-2 in the double-elimination WAC Tournament.

The biggest question mark Friday night was how Cal State Bakersfield would play the day after the players learned their coach was retiring at the end of the season.

"You don't know what's going to happen in that situation," said CSUB coach Bill Kernen after the Roadrunners routed New Mexico State 13-1.

STOCKTON -- For Condors coach Troy Mann and his players, it's all about belief.

Trailing 1-0 in the third period on Friday night and time ticking down, the Condors never panicked, scoring two late goals to beat the Thunder 2-1 and take a 3-1 lead in ECHL Western Conference Semifinal The Condors can wrap up the series tonight in Stockton, which would put them into the Conference Finals for the first time in team history.

Ever stared at the phone and willed it to start ringing? Derek Carr knows the feeling.

And, though it came a day later than he would have liked, Carr got the call he wanted Friday afternoon: The Oakland Raiders were on the other line, telling the Bakersfield native they were about to make him the 36th pick in the NFL Draft.

“I’m just so fired up that they called,” said Carr, a record-setting quarterback at Fresno State who graduated from Bakersfield Christian. “When that pick came up, and I saw they were next, I was just waiting, looking at my phone. It started ringing, and I almost forgot how to answer it, I was so excited.”

For the second straight day, the Carr family gathered at David's house in southwest Bakersfield to watch the draft. After the phone call and just before Oakland's pick was announced on live television, Rodger Carr, Derek's father, emerged from the house and yelled, "Raiders!"

Baseball

Garces 12, East 7

Jared Handel tossed six solid innings, allowing just four hits and striking out six to lead Ridgeview to a 6-2 victory over South on Friday.

"Jared threw the ball really well today," said Ridgeview coach Jason Hunsaker. "He threw strikes and kept them off balance. He played simple baseball."

BAKERSFIELD, CA - A heartwarming follow up to a Contact 17 News story we brought you a few weeks ago. A local woman, adopted at birth, is getting to know her biological family after decades of searching.

First, Jean Phillips learned that her biological niece was right under her nose. Phillips is not only her niece's hair stylist, she has also styled her biological mother's hair and none of them knew it.

On Friday, Phillips met her older brother for the first time - a moment 50 years in the making.

It was graduation day inside Marinello School of Beauty in Bakersfield.

But outside...

"Here comes your sister!"

...It's a family reunion.

"Wow, you're you!"

After 50 years of searching, Jose Ramirez of Sacramento finally met his biological sister, Jean Phillips.

"It feels like a big part of my life has been put in place. That's what it is to me," Phillips said.

Phillips was adopted when she was just days old and after moving from Simi Valley to Frazier Park, she ended up in Bakersfield. Just weeks ago, she learned one of her clients, Angelina Ramirez, is her biological niece.

"All I can say is that a huge hole has been filled, a big puzzle piece or something, the missing piece," Phillips said.

It's a puzzle that both Phillips and her brother have been determined to piece together for decades.

"What can I say? I'm just overwhelmed right now. Call it divine intervention and also human effort, you know, and I'm happy that it came to pass," Ramirez said.

Despite the setbacks, Ramirez says he always believed this day would come. And, he's encouraging others who are searching for a long lost loved one to keep the faith.

"Well, I can say to anybody who's looking for their biological people, families, brothers, parents, don't give up. It's there," Ramirez said.

"It's just huge. It means the world to me, it really does. To have all this family, they're huge, and I see in their faces, I see the resemblances and I just think 'there's my people! I love them! I want to hold them' so it's just overwhelming and amazing. I'm really happy," Phillips said.

The family is planning on bringing Jean's biological mother from San Antonio, Texas, to Bakersfield next month.
