In Division III:

West Torrance 10, Tustin 0--Nelson Caraballo pitched a one-hitter, facing one batter over the minimum, and six of West Torrance’s 10 hits went for extra bases as the second-seeded Warriors won in a game shortened to six innings because of the mercy rule.

The Warriors will play Laguna Hills in the third round Friday and are attempting to get back to the Division III title game, where they lost to Villa Park last season.

The Warriors (23-9) took a 3-0 lead in the first on an RBI single by Tony Cabral and a two-run double by Elliot Salcedo. They led, 6-0, after a three-run homer by Chris Caraballo in the third.

Meanwhile, Nelson Caraballo (4-0) was cruising, striking out five of the first six Tiller batters. He didn’t allow a baserunner until Carlos De La Riva walked with one out in the fourth.

Brian Judd had Tustin’s only hit, grounding a single to right to lead off the sixth, but a fielder’s choice and a double play ended the inning.

Mike Haubrich

Santa Margarita 8, Agoura 0--Junior Eric Brock (4-5) pitched a no-hitter, facing three batters over the limit, and striking out seven, all looking. Matt Wilkerson hit his fourth homer and Michael Beattie added his second for the Eagles (15-14).
