Baseball: Jake Spillane of Mission Viejo throws fourth consecutive shutout

One of the hottest pitchers in Southern California is 6-foot sophomore right-hander Jake Spillane of Mission Viejo. He threw his fourth consecutive shutout on Friday, beating San Clemente, 5-0, in a Sea View League game.

It was vintage Spillane _ he had one strikeout and zero walks. He has shutouts over Capistrano Valley, San Juan Hills, Trabuco Hills and now San Clemente to put the Diablos at 7-3 in league.

“He absolutely pitches,” Coach Chris Ashbach said.

Spillane is the son of former UCLA basketball player Jim Spillane, a member of John Wooden’s last championship team in 1975.

Combined with junior pitching standout Tanner Bibee, Mission Viejo could be a very dangerous team in Southern Section Division 2. The two have combined for six consecutive league shutouts. Justin Evans went three for three.

Redondo 6, Palos Verdes 2: Redondo clinched at least a share of the Bay League title. Jason Dicochea had three hits and threw two innings of relief. Danny Zimmerman hit a home run and threw five innings.

Orange Lutheran 2, Santa Ana Mater Dei 1: Luke Mattson struck out eight in 6 2/3 innings and Chris Burica got the save in the Trinity League win. Jasiah Dixon had two hits.

Alemany 4, Chaminade 3: Freshman Caden Miller hit a walk-off home run in the ninth for Alemany. It was his second home run of the game. The loss leaves Chaminade in a tie for first place in the Mission League with Loyola going into the final three games. Chaminade faces Crespi next week and Loyola takes on Notre Dame.

Sherman Oaks Notre Dame 12, St. Francis 3: Ryan McNab had three hits and two RBIs in the Mission League win. Noah Taylor had a home run, triple and five RBIs. Derek Kramer added a home run.

Newbury Park 3, Oaks Christian 2: The Panthers scored three runs in the top of the seventh to stun the first-place Lions in a Marmonte League game. Braden Ashmore hit a two-run home run and Chris Clarke threw a complete game. Adam Kerner had three hits for Oaks Christian.

Westlake 5, Agoura 4: Eddie Kutt delivered the game-winning hit in the eighth inning for Westlake. The loss leaves Agoura tied for first place with Oaks Christian. Bo Jelinek allowed one run in four innings of relief. The Warriors scored two runs in the bottom of the seventh to tie the game. Jonny DeLuca had three hits for Agoura.

Los Alamitos 2, Huntington Beach 0: Scott Anderson threw a three-hit shutout in outdueling Nick Pratto in the Sunset League game. Huntington Beach, the preseason No. 1 team, is in third place and still hasn’t clinched a Division 1 playoff berth.
