It looks like Golden Valley High grad Scott Barlow would rather be a Dodger than a Bulldog.

The pitcher and sixth-round pick by the Dodgers in the Major League Baseball draft decided to go pro rather than test the collegiate waters with Fresno State.

Barlow was in the stadium last night to watch the Dodgers lose to the Phillies. He is expected to start his pro career in the Arizona Rookie League.

In auto racing, Duarte Ferreira, driving for Bryan Herta Autosport, finished eighth in the Firestone Indy Lights race at Trois Rivieres in Quebec. Teammate Bruno Andrade was 12^th.

Esteban Guerrieri won the race, which has red-flagged at one point because of heavy rain. It was his third win of the Indy Lights season.
