AMERICAN LEGION BASEBALL ROUNDUP : Weiss Pitches No-Hitter for Van Nuys South on Two Days’ Rest

Mike Weiss threw a no-hitter and struck out 11 as Van Nuys South defeated Burbank North, 11-0, in an American Legion District 20 game at Burbank High on Wednesday.

Weiss (3-1), pitching with two days of rest, did not walk a batter in the six-inning game that was called because of the 10-run rule.

Two Burbank North batters reached base when the Van Nuys South catcher overthrew first base after dropping third strikes.

Marc Scorza, Greg Levine and Aaron Amitin led a Van Nuys South offense that racked up 15 hits.

Scorza was four for four, drove in two runs and scored twice.

Greg Levine was three for three with two runs batted in and two runs, and Amitin had a triple, home run and two RBIs.
