HIGH SCHOOL NOTEBOOK

Two-thirds of the teams participating in the Thousand Oaks tournament went 1-1 in pool-play games Saturday, suggesting that tournament director Gary Walin knows how to align comparable competition.

Four teams were 2-0, 16 teams were 1-1 and four were 0-2.

“I was extremely happy with that,” said Walin, coach at Thousand Oaks High.

Walin was equally pleased that the Lancers went undefeated, edging Righetti, 2-1, and El Camino Real, 1-0.

Valencia was also undefeated in pool play in the Green Division, and Moorpark and Hueneme were undefeated in the White Division.

Thousand Oaks (17-4) will get a chance to avenge last week’s Marmonte League loss to Westlake when the teams meet in a Green Division semifinal on Saturday.

Westlake scored the game’s only run on a wild pitch in the eighth inning, snapping the Lancers’ 28-game league winning streak.

Thousand Oaks was chasing the league record for consecutive wins. Newbury Park won 33 in a row in the mid-1980s.

Catcher Miki Mayorga of Granada Hills was encouraged, not discouraged, by her team’s 1-0 loss to El Camino Real in a West Valley League game Thursday.

“Hopefully we’ll see them again in the playoffs,” said Mayorga, who threw out Brecken Bronner on an attempted steal. “I would love that because each time we play them, we get better and better.”

Granada Hills (14-12) lost to El Camino Real, 6-0, earlier in the season.
