Lakers Pick Up Kersey for Their Bench

Roller Hockey

The San Diego Barracudas have rescheduled their final regular-season Roller Hockey International game against Sacramento for 7 p.m. Thursday at Stuart’s Rollerworld in Orange. The game is open to the public.

Barracuda owner Dennis Murphy, a Fullerton resident, pulled his team out of San Diego a week ago, claiming the roll-on floor at the Sports Arena is unsafe. The Barracudas lost the first of two rescheduled home games to the Blades, 10-2, Monday at the Forum in front of about 75 spectators. The Barracudas meet the Bullfrogs, who have clinched first place in the Pacific Division, at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday at the Pond.

The Blades, who host Sacramento tonight at the Forum need one victory in their last three games to clinch the second and final Pacific Division playoff spot. If the Blades clinch, their best-of-three divisional playoff series against the Bullfrogs would begin at 7 p.m. Monday at the Pond, followed by a 7:30 p.m. game next Tuesday at the Forum. The third game of the series, if needed, would be Aug. 22 at the Pond.
