Flames damaged a second-story residence and the garage below at a property in the Vermont Square area of Los Angeles Saturday. The fire was reported at 9:20 p.m. Saturday at 4712 S. Budlong Ave., according to the Los Angeles Fire Department’s Brian Humphrey. It took 36 firefighters 21 minutes to put out the flames that started outside the garage and extended into the attic of the accessory dwelling unit, Humphrey said. No injuries were reported.

All night long, Alana Langford was waiting for her pitch. It finally came with one out in the top of the 14th inning Saturday night in the City Section Open Division softball final and the first baseman did not miss it, working the count full and launching the ball high over the left-field fence for a home run that ultimately gave Carson a 1-0 victory over Granada Hills. The contest took four hours and two minutes and fans at Long Beach State were treated to one of the best and longest playoff games in City history, lasting four hours and two minutes. It was the second year in a row that Langford hit a game-winning homer in the championship game, having basted a two-run shot in the top of the eighth inning last spring against the Highlanders. “I could see their pitcher was getting tired and I told myself when she misses it, I gotta be on it,” Langford said. “This one means so much because I’m a senior and it’s my last time playing with my team. My dad’s our biggest fan, he watches

On his third go-round as guest host of “Saturday Night Live,” Jake Gyllenhaal presided over the 49th season finale with everything going for him. His lead role in the Prime Video revival of “Road House” was well-received. He’s still getting bad-boy mileage out of “ All Too Well,” Taylor Swift’s 10-minute take down of him. And his new series “Presumed Innocent” for Apple TV+ will be out next month. But is he funny? The night’s grab bag of sketches, several of which required full-throated singing from the actor, made a strong case that maybe Gyllenhaal is one of those actors who is presumed (innocently?) to have a strong sense of humor due to one-offs like his classic “Mr. Music” bit in “John Mulaney & The Sack Lunch Bunch” until it’s actually time to perform comedy in a live setting like “SNL.” The season finale was rough, folks, and not because of giggles or any technical problems. You couldn’t blame the writing completely because there were some novel premises along the way and some decent jokes. But in at least half of the sketches where the

El día que el ucraniano Oleksandr Usyk capturó el título indiscutible de peso pesado ante Tyson Fury, su compatriota, Denys Berinchyk, sorprendió al mundo del boxeo al derrotar a Emanuel Navarrete por decisión dividida para ganar el título vacante de peso ligero de la Organización Mundial de Boxeo el sábado por la noche en el Pechanga Arena de San Diego. Berinchyk (19-0, 9 KOs) se impuso por puntuaciones de 116-112 y 115-113, mientras que Navarrete ganó en la tercera tarjeta, 116-112. Navarrete (38-2-1, 31 KOs) fracasó en su intento de convertirse en el sexto campeón mundial nacido en México en conquistar títulos en cuatro divisiones. “Era algo nuevo para mí. Como siempre dije, sería difícil. Denys es un gran peleador. Y ya viste lo que pasó. Pero estoy contento de cómo he peleado. Sé que tengo que mejorar”, dijo Navarrete. “No estoy triste. Sé que era una prueba. Necesitaba hacer más, pero sé que puedo hacer más. Así que le felicito por su victoria. Estoy feliz porque traté cosas en las 135 libras, y sé que voy a ser fuerte en esta división”. La realidad

A shooting suspect is dead after an hours-long SWAT standoff in Tarzana Saturday. Police responded to reports of a man firing shots near Victory Boulevard and Sylvia Avenue at around 2 p.m., according to the Los Angeles Police Department. The armed suspect later barricaded himself inside a home on the 19200 block of Victory Boulevard, prompting police to evacuate nearby residents in the area. SWAT Team members and police created a perimeter around the house as the man remained barricaded inside.  Negotiators spoke with the suspect on the phone, attempting to convince him to come outside.  However, after several conversations, police said the man hung up the phone and refused to cooperate. At one point, the suspect’s partner reportedly called police to tell them he was armed with a gun and had fired shots inside their home.

In a minor league ballpark where home runs don’t come often for high school players, Sam Burgess of Corona electrified the crowd during the Southern Section Division 1 championship game Saturday night by hitting a three-run home run over the right-field wall in the fourth inning against Harvard-Westlake ace Duncan Marsten, sending the Panthers to a 5-0 victory at Lake Elsinore’s Diamond Stadium. It was Corona’s sixth home run in five playoff games, with each one providing a decisive moment to help the Panthers (30-3) become the first No. 1 seed since Camarillo in 2002 to win the Division 1 title. Burgess, a Texas Christian commit, came to the plate after Josh Springer was hit by a pitch and Billy Carlson reached base on an infield single. From the moment he swung, Burgess sensed the ball would leave the field. It was a changeup left over the middle of the plate. Marsten and Corona’s Ethan Schiefelbein had been engaged in the expected pitching duel, with neither budging until Burgess came through. Given a three-run lead, the left-handed Schiefelbein, who has committed to UCLA, showed his

Employees who wear costumes at Disneyland have voted to unionize with the Actors’ Equity Association. There are 1,700 employees who were eligible to take part in the voting. The 50% required for Equity to become the bargaining agent for the workers was easily surpassed, with 79% of the employees voting yes. According to Actors’ Equity, 953 voted in favor of unionizing, while 258 voted against the move on Saturday. “They say that Disneyland is ‘the place where dreams come true,’ and for the Disney Cast Members who have worked to organize a union, their dream came true today,” Actors’ Equity Association President Kate Shindle said in a statement. “These workers are on the front lines of the Guest experience; they’re the human beings who create lifelong memories when your kids hug a character, or when your family watches a parade roll by the castle,’ Shindle added. “The next step will be to collaborate with them about improving health & safety, wages, benefits, working conditions and job security. After that we will meet with representatives of the Walt Disney Company to negotiate those priorities into a

The city of Torrance hosted its 62nd Annual Armed Forces Day Parade Saturday featuring nearly 70 entries. The 90-minute parade started at 1:30 p.m. Saturday on Torrance Boulevard at Crenshaw Boulevard and proceeded one mile west to Medrona Avenue, according to the event web page. All branches of the military participated in the parade, including the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and Coast Guard, and this year’s honored branch was the U.S. Space Force.

Hundreds of spectators heard music from the 300th Army Band, North and South High, Richardson Middle School’s Band and Color Guard, West High’s Entertainment Unit and Bishop Montgomery High School’s Thunder by Knight Music.
