Baseball: Kyle Nicol strikes out 14 in Burroughs’ championship win

Burroughs Coach Craig Sherwood used to be the top assistant to Crespi Coach Scott Muckey, who died over the weekend at age 63.

So imagine how proud Muckey would have been watching Burroughs and ace pitcher Kyle Nicol strike out 14 batters to lift the Indians to a 1-0 win over Harvard-Westlake in the championship game of the Easton tournament on Wednesday night. Nicol allowed just two hits. Burroughs (5-0) got a walk-off single from Jason Whaley in the seventh.
