HIGH SCHOOL ROUNDUP : Berline Wins Two More for Notre Dame

Think Notre Dame High softball Coach Cindy Kramer has tongue in cheek when she says, “As Becca Berline goes, so goes Notre Dame”?

Hardly. Just compare the team’s record to Berline’s.

Berline (9-3) tossed a pair of two-hit shutouts Thursday as Notre Dame (also 9-3) remained unbeaten in pool play of the Easter Bunny Bash softball tournament at Chaparral High in Las Vegas.

In the first game, the senior right-hander struck out nine and walked none as Notre Dame defeated Rolling Hills, 1-0. Catcher Simona Errico supplied all the offense with a third-inning home run, her third of the season.

In the second game, Berline struck out six and walked none in a 7-0 win over Chaparral. Karen Erickson and Susan Gulliver each slammed their first home runs of the year for Notre Dame.

Against Chaparral, Berline pitched 5 2/3 innings of no-hit ball before settling for a two-hitter. The four hits allowed by Berline in the two games were all singles.

Notre Dame can win its pool with a victory over Mar Vista today.

BASEBALL

Chatsworth 6, Mt. Carmel 5--Terry Powell’s bunt single in the bottom of the seventh inning scored Mike Mancuso from third base with the winning run as Chatsworth finished fifth in the Far West Classic in Anaheim.

Chatsworth (13-3-1) rallied from 3-0 and 5-4 deficits. The Chancellors scored two runs in the bottom of the seventh to win, the first coming in when Mitch Root singled to score Nestor Martinez.

Trailing, 3-1, in the fifth, Chatsworth scored twice. Martinez delivered a run-scoring triple, then scored on a passed ball. Chatsworth took a 4-3 lead in the sixth on a fly by Doug Dean. Mt. Carmel scored twice in the seventh.

Chaminade 11, St. Genevieve 4--Justin Stark hit his second two-run home run in as many days and Ted Corcoran (3-3) allowed three hits and struck out eight in five innings to lead visiting Chaminade (9-6-1, 2-2) in a San Fernando Valley League game.
