Baseball: Hunter Greene strikes out 15, hits two home runs in Notre Dame victory

Facing a must-win situation in the Mission League, Sherman Oaks Notre Dame (14-6, 5-4) turned to junior standout Hunter Greene on Friday, and he delivered with his bat and arm against rival Crespi.

Greene blasted a two-run home run to left field in the first inning and added a solo home run to right-center in the third. On the mound, he threw a one-hitter, striking out 15, in Notre Dame’s 8-0 victory over the host Celts.
