Mills’ Lung Collapses After Win

Cleveland High pitcher Jared Mills was hospitalized Friday with a collapsed lung, for the third time in two years.

“The exertion after going six innings on Thursday is probably what caused it,” said his father, Cleveland Coach Jim Mills.

Mills struck out six to lead the Cavaliers to a 3-0 victory over Canoga Park in a San Fernando tournament game.
