Woodland Hills East third baseman Carey Wilbur was enjoying a four-for-four performance Wednesday when something terrible happened. His team kept scoring runs and he had to make another trip to the plate.

Wilbur made an out in his final at-bat, ruining a perfect day, but his team knocked off Granada Hills, 10-5, in an American Legion District 20 game at Granada Hills High.

East trailed, 3-2, in the fifth when Glen Nahmias tripled home three runs to key a six-run rally.
