John Aguilar served as Hart High’s offensive catalyst this season.

The shortstop led the Indians in nearly every offensive category as Hart rolled to a 23-3 record, 15-0 in the Foothill League.

Aguilar (6-foot-1, 180 pounds) batted .457 with nine home runs and 38 runs batted in.

He also had team-high totals of 37 hits, 30 runs, 20 walks, five doubles, four triples, 77 total bases, a .951 slugging percentage and a .563 on-base percentage. For good measure, Aguilar stole nine bases.

Pitching: Not a single pitch was thrown by a senior this season for Moorpark. Juniors Ken Ditto, Mike Vasquez and Richard Hernandez figured in every one of the Musketeers’ 23 decisions while logging 158 of the staff’s 161 innings. Sophomore Jason Adamson pitched three innings.

Ditto finished 7-1 with 44 strikeouts and a 1.86 earned-run average in 49 innings. Vasquez was 7-3 with 47 strikeouts and a 1.75 ERA in 64 innings. Hernandez was 4-1 with 26 strikeouts, two saves and a 1.24 ERA in 45 innings. . . .

Simi Valley’s Trevor Leppard appeared in 20 games, a record in Coach Mike Scyphers’ 14 years. Leppard’s 20th, however, was one to forget. He was tagged for six runs and the defeat in Simi Valley’s 8-5 loss to Millikan in the Southern Section 5-A Division quarterfinals. . . . Miscellaneous: In each of the past three years, Birmingham has been eliminated in the City Section 4-A Division baseball playoffs by a team that advanced to the final. In 1990, the Braves lost to El Camino Real in the quarterfinals (Chatsworth defeated El Camino Real for the title). Last year San Fernando defeated Birmingham in the quarterfinals en route to its City championship. Last week, the Braves lost in the first round to San Pedro, which will face Poly in tonight’s championship game. . . .

Valley Pac-8 Conference baseball teams were 4-1 against Northwest Valley Conference teams in the City 4-A playoffs. . . .

L.A. Baptist had nine players who batted better than .300 but no players who had an ERA below 4.00. The result? The Knights were 11-12.

Softball: Camarillo pitcher Laura Richardson was named 5-A player of the year in 1991 as a sophomore after leading the Scorpions to a Southern Section title. After a 16-3 season, she posted a 13-6 mark this year with 204 strikeouts in 130 innings. She gave up only seven earned runs all season. Camarillo lost in the wild-card round of the playoffs.

Track and field: Jeff Wilson of Newbury Park moved to second on the all-time Ventura County list in the boys’ mile when he ran 4 minutes 9.75 seconds to win the 1,600 meters at the Masters meet Friday. The time, which converts to a 4:11.21 mile, is second to the 4:11.1 mile that Royal’s Scott Blackburn ran in 1975. . . .

Marion Jones of Thousand Oaks not only holds the national high school record of 22.67 in the girls’ 200 meters, but after her 22.78 clocking in the Masters meet, she has run five of the six fastest high school times ever. Only Chandra Cheeseborough, who timed 22.77 for Jacksonville Ribault High in 1975, prevents Jones from a clean sweep of the top five times. . . .

Jones and teammates Wendy Wendelstein, Lisa Gillette and Heather Hanger moved to seventh on the all-time regional list in the 400-meter relay when they timed a school record 47.31 to place second at the Masters meet. . . .

Dan Paine became the first Nordhoff boys’ athlete since Elmo Callis (B long jump) in 1936 to qualify for the state track championships when he cleared 6-6 in the high jump to place fourth in the Masters meet. Paine has a personal best of 6-8. . . . Royal sophomore Andre Desaussure ran a school-record 48.37 in the 400 to place fourth in the Masters meet. The time lowered the previous Royal record of 48.55, set by Ralph Blanks in 1987. . . .

Crespi’s Cody Smith, a quarterback who has committed to Pacific, placed third in the shotput in the Masters meet with a personal best of 58 feet 6 inches, the farthest put by a performer from the region since Dave Bultman of Royal (67-0) in 1987. However, he is a distant third on the all-time Crespi list behind Randy Cross (67-2 1/2 in 1972) and Paul Palkovic (61-3 1/2 in ‘76). . . .

Paul De La Cerda of Hart did not qualify for the Masters meet, but he ran a school record 1:55.70 in the 800 to win his heat in the The Athletics Congress Southern California championships at Cerritos College on Sunday. Stephen Lepken set the previous record of 1:56.90 in 1990.

Boys’ volleyball: Royal smashed a number of school records in winning the Southern Section 3-A title Saturday in five games over Esperanza. Outside hitter Brett Osterhoudt had 40 kills in the match, breaking Kevin Hambly’s 1991 mark of 39. Middle blocker Kerry White cracked two of Hambly’s records for blocking. White’s 14 blocks for a match and 131 for a season broke Hambly’s marks of 11 and 129, set last year.

Setter Travis Ferguson beat his previous record of 90 assists, set this season against Loyola, with 93 against Esperanza. The Highlanders also set a school record for wins, finishing at 22-0. In 1990, Royal was 20-0. . . .

Crespi’s Mike Lees had 83 kills in three playoffs wins, but the senior outside hitter was held to five in a four-game, Southern Section 3-A semifinal loss to Royal.
