San Diego Prep Baseball : Langevin Throws a One-Hitter to Lead Montgomery

Lee Langevin of Montgomery High School pitched a no-hitter for six innings Thursday before settling for a one-hitter as the No. 8-ranked Aztecs defeated Marian, 3-0, in a Metro Conference bseball game at Montgomery.

Langevin (4-0) allowed only a lead-off single to Mark Cisneros in the seventh inning in pitching his second shutout of the season. The senior right-hander blanked No. 2-ranked Valhalla, 6-0, in the GMC Tournament last month.

Langevin struck out five and walked one while improving his earned-run average to 0.53.

Robert Solis had two hits and two RBIs to lead the Montgomery offense. Solis tripled to drive in a run in the fourth and drove in a run in the sixth with a double.

Cisneros, who allowed only five hits, took the loss for the Crusaders.

Montgomery is 4-0 in league and 11-3 overall. Marina is 1-3 and 3-11.
