Klinger Plans to Play for Army

Zachary Klinger of Capistrano Valley will play football for Army next fall, his father, James, said Thursday.

Klinger, a 6-foot-3, 248-pound lineman, was a second-team All-South Coast League selection as an offensive lineman last season despite missing three games because of a shoulder injury. He was a second-team pick as a defensive lineman as a junior.

Erasmo Ramirez, a pitcher from Saddleback High, has signed a letter of intent to play baseball next season at Cal State Northridge.

Ramirez, a left-hander, should bolster a Northridge staff that was decimated by injury last spring. The Matadors, who finished 25-30, did not have a left-handed pitcher on their 1994 roster.

During the regular season, Ramirez was 7-2 with an earned-run average of 2.54.
