Los Angeles Loyola might want to play at Harvard-Westlake’s new field every game the way the Cubs beat up on the Wolverines Tuesday in the first game at the $700,000 O’Malley Family Field in Encino.
The Cubs came away with 23 hits in a 22-2 Mission League victory. A.J. La Bruna had four hits and five RBIs and Danny Hayes added three hits and five RBIs. Freshman Corey Dempster hit the first home run at the new field.
In another Mission League game, Mission Hills Alemany defeated St. Francis, 8-7. Sophomore Ryan Paramo (6-1) pitched five innings. Sophomore Peter Van Gansen got his third save. Andrew Davidson, Edgar Montes and Sergio Plascencia had two hits each for Alemany (17-6, 6-3).
In the Trinity League, Santa Ana Mater Dei got two home runs from Cory Hahn, who also threw a complete game, to defeat Anaheim Servite, 7-2. The two teams are tied for first place with 7-3 records.
In the Moore League, Long Beach Wilson knocked off Lakewood, 6-4. Lakewood (22-4, 6-2) was ranked No. 1 in Southern Section Division I, and it was the second time this season the Lancers had lost to Wilson. Cody Harris had three hits. Long Beach Millikan beat Long Beach Poly, 6-4, in eight innings, which means four teams are now within striking distance of winning the league title.
Los Angeles Cathedral continues to shine in the Camino Real League in the rookie season for Coach Scott Pearson. Sergio Luna allowed only two hits in a 3-0 Cathedral victory over Bosco Tech. He’s 8-2. Cathedral improved to 17-3 overall and 9-1 in league.
In the Olympic League, Van Nuys Montclair Prep (17-5, 7-0) got three hits from Nick Suniga in a 5-2 victory over North Hollywood Campbell Hall. Max Fried (7-1) allowed five singles. Tony Rosales and Paul Aldape hit home runs.
