Here are the top five stories in Roseville today:

1. Jesuit Alumni, Daniel Susac was a first round draft choice by the Oakland A's! "The best word to describe me is 'leader.' That's the way I try to embody myself as a player. I'm not only going to try to get the most out of myself, but I'm going to try to get the most out of all my teammates," Susac said. The A's, for their part, tweeted "We got a good one" with a picture of Susac. Way to go Daniel! (ABC10.com KXTV)

• This event at House of Oliver sounds like a lot of fun! From their website: "Join us for a wild night of fun, mayhem and.....ahem.... murder! (But not really, like just play pretend.) There are NO Actors; you are the actors. You get assigned a role, a character, you get your notes before hand. You dress up, you immerse and you have fun." Why not put your ego away for the night and try it?
• I have a woodfired oven in my backyard and my friends love it when I make breakfast/brunch pizza. Well, now CJs Pizza Bar and Grill is doing the same thing! Try their new bacon and egg pizza for breakfast, with country gravy sauce! Looks divine!
