We’ve reported far too many stories on stolen catalytic converters------the most recent earlier this month when three people were arrested for stealing them from cars in the long term parking lot at Sacramento International Airport…….Elk Grove Police want to help you keep from becoming a victim and they’re doing something about it next month…..EGPD is teaming up with Jiffy Lube and offering free catalytic converter etchings on June 4th……….If you take your car in your license plate number will be etched on to the converter which could possibly keep it from being targeted and if your converter is still stolen the information can help police track down both the stolen item but also the victims and the suspects……..It’s all happening Tuesday, June 4th, from 10 am to 5pm at the Jiffy Lube shop at 9611 Auto Center Drive in Elk Grove.

Elk Grove High School is one win away from another Sac Joaquin North Section baseball championship---The Herd beating Pleasant Grove 5-0 last night in a winners’ bracket game at Sacramento City College…..David Smith struck out 13 and allowed only four hits while Mikey Wright had 5 RBIs in the victory……..It means that Pleasant Grove will play Franklin Thursday night in an elimination game-----the winner will play Elk Grove Friday night and will have to beat the Herd twice in order to advance to the section title game……..If the Herd wins it would be their 7th North title in the last eleven years under coach Jeff Carlson----no matter who wins the Elk Grove Unified School District will be represented in next week’s section championship.
