Grizzlies honor Robin Lopez for being 'Fresno Famous'
Round Rock doubles up Fresno 4-2, snapping the Grizzlies 11-game winning streak.

FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- On a night the Fresno Grizzlies honored San Joaquin Memorial graduate and current New York Knicks center Robin Lopez with a bobblehead for winning the "Fresno Famous" contest, Round Rock doubles up Fresno 4-2, snapping the Grizzlies 11-game winning streak. In the California League, Rancho Cucamonga defeats Visalia, 7-2.

On the links, former Clovis East standout and current SMU golfer Bryson DeChambeau advanced to the U.S. Amateur finals after beating USC's Sean Crocker 4 and 3 in the semifinals. DeChambeau will take on Virginia's Derek Bard in Sunday's 36 hole final. DeChambeau looks to join Jack Nicklaus (1961), Phil Mickelson (1990), Tiger Woods (1996) and Ryan Moore (2004) as the only the NCAA and Amateur titles in the same season. Both DeChambeau and Bard have earned spots next year in the Masters and U.S. Open. Sunday's winner will also earn a berth in the British Open.
