STOCKTON — Connor McGovern knows how to lay down an exclamation point. In No. 2 Ripon Christian’s five-inning 17-0 thrashing of 10th-seeded Golden Sierra-Garden Valley in opening-round Sac-Joaquin Section Division VI playoff action at Stagg High School on Tuesday, McGovern cleared the bases with a triple to the right-field wall to cap a nine-run third inning.
