VALLEY BASEBALL ROUNDUP : Maggiora Throws No-Hitter for Saugus

Doug Maggiora, a senior right-hander from Saugus High, threw his first no-hitter and stretched his winning streak to 17 games in a 2-0 victory over visiting Quartz Hill in a Golden League game Monday.

Maggiora threw the first no-hitter by a Saugus player since Roger Salkeld, now in the Seattle Mariner organization, tossed one in 1989.

Maggiora, who throws side-arm, did not allow a runner past first base, struck out four and walked one. Maggiora (6-0) won his final 11 decisions last season.

Saugus improved to 9-5, 5-2 in league play. Quartz Hill fell to 6-7, 2-5.

Thurman Williams had four hits and Mitch Root had three hits and a homer for Chatsworth (9-6-1, 5-3-1), which has not won a league game in its last four tries. Troy Bourne and Jason Makahon each had two hits for Kennedy (10-6, 6-3).

Highland Hall 17, South Bay Lutheran 3--Jakob Jensen, who has 12 hits in his last 13 at-bats, homered and had three hits to lead visiting Highland Hall to its 34th consecutive Westside League victory, one shy of the state record.

Highland Hall (7-5, 2-0) can tie the record, set by St. Bernard in 1986-89, by defeating Hillcrest Christian today at 3 p.m. at North Valley Colt Field.

Sylmar d. Canoga Park (forfeit)--Without a coach, equipment or a starting lineup, Canoga Park (0-9) forfeited a Valley Pac-8 Conference game at Sylmar.

William Kinder, an assistant principal at Canoga Park, could not track down Coach Jim Smith or the team’s equipment Monday. When only eight of the 10 players on the team roster showed up for school, Kinder called Sylmar and forfeited.

Smith was hospitalized Sunday with an infection in his right forearm, Kinder said.
