Mike Aranzullo was 5 for 5 and drove in five runs as Cleveland defeated West Valley League rival Chatsworth, 22-14, in a wild second-round game in the championship bracket of the Holt-Goodman tournament Saturday.

Cleveland trailed, 6-2, after two innings but went ahead for good in the third when it used five hits, five walks and a hit batter to score 11 runs. The big blows were delivered by Mike Bergren, who had a three-run double, and Aranzullo, who capped the outburst with a grand slam, his first home run of the season.

Cleveland (5-4), which was averaging less than four runs per game, battered five Chatsworth pitchers for 20 hits, eight for extra bases.
