HIGH SCHOOL ROUNDUP : After Blowing Lead, Granada Hills Rescued in 8th by Berger’s Blast

In other baseball games:

Newbury Park 4, Channel Islands 3--Senior left-hander Bryant Fick pitched a four-hitter and recorded a career-high 12 strikeouts to lead the Panthers (9-8, 4-3) to an upset of Channel Islands (15-3, 5-2) in a Marmonte League game.

Fick (4-3) walked seven and hit two batters but managed to keep Channel Islands, ranked No. 1 in the region by The Times, from scoring until the seventh inning.

“We must have struck out five times on pitches in the dirt,” Channel Islands Coach Don Cardinal said. “(Fick) did a great job. I guess we weren’t ready to play.”

Newbury Park catcher Robert Fick, Bryant’s uncle, hit two doubles, including a two-run double to key a three-run fifth inning. Jeff Hook also had two hits for the Panthers

Angel Aragon (7-2) of Channel Islands allowed seven hits, struck out three and walked four. With two out and the bases loaded in the seventh, Aragon walked Rich Adams to give Newbury Park a 4-0 lead.

Mike Wolford went two for four with a triple and three RBIs for Royal, which came back from a 3-2 deficit with a seven-run third inning.

Center fielder Jim Chergey hit his sixth home run in eight games for Thousand Oaks. Chergey, a senior, is batting better than .600 during that stretch.

Agoura 10, Camarillo 9--A sacrifice fly by Bryan Richards drove in Bryan Bartlett with the winning run in the seventh for the Chargers (7-10, 3-4). Ed Gillis was three for three with a home run, three RBIs and three runs for Agoura.
