Prep HIGHLIGHTS : Cleveland Crosses Up Reseda, 5-3
- Share via
Cleveland High defeated cross-suburb rival Reseda, 5-3, at home Tuesday behind a complete game by Pat Almeido.
“Both teams grew up in the same neighborhoods and played youth ball together,” said Cleveland Coach Marty Siegel. “This was a meaningful game.”
The West Valley League game was perhaps most meaningful for Reseda pitcher Robert Wheatcroft, a senior who pitched for Cleveland the past two years. Although he drew the loss, Wheatcroft went the distance and allowed only six hits.
Almeido (2-0) struck out six and surrendered three earned runs.
Cleveland improved to 3-2 in league. Reseda fell to 1-4.
Chatsworth 7, Taft 3
Chatsworth (4-1) remained tied for first in the West Valley League by defeating Taft (1-4) on the road behind the pitching of Will L’Heureux and Paul Reynolds.
Juan Hernandez singled three times and Eric Rothfield singled twice for Chatsworth.
El Camino 12, Canoga Park 6
El Camino Real scored six runs in the sixth inning to break open a close game and defeat Canoga Park at home.
The Conquistadors (4-1), had perfect hitting from John Burnette (4 for 4), Tony Schwartz (3 for 3) and Chris Busson (2 for 2).
