Baseball Game Is Stopped After Fight

A Chatsworth tournament baseball game between Woodland Hills El Camino Real and Sun Valley Poly was halted in the fourth inning Saturday after the father of an El Camino Real player went into the Poly dugout and got into a scuffle with two coaches at El Camino Real High, according to a report filed by umpires.

The incident started after the El Camino Real player was hit by a pitch. He alleged it was intentional and that a racial slur had been made. His father went into the dugout, followed by the player. After both teams were separated, the game was stopped with El Camino Real leading, 9-1. The Conquistadores are ranked No. 3 in the Southland by The Times.

A battery complaint was filed with the LAPD West Valley Division. School officials are expected to investigate the incident on Monday.

Natalie DeLeese singled to lead off the bottom of the eighth inning, advanced to third on a throwing error and scored on a wild pitch to score the only run for El Toro as the Chargers, ranked No. 4 by The Times, upset top-ranked Garden Grove Pacifica, 1-0, in the second round of the Irvine Woodbridge tournament at Barber Park.

DeLeese also had a triple in the third inning and was thrown out at the plate trying to stretch it into a home run.

Records fell in waves at the 46th annual Long Beach Wilson Invitational meet Friday at Belmont Plaza in Long Beach.

Jessica Hardy, a Long Beach Wilson senior who made the U.S. women’s team that will compete in the world championships in July with a second-place time of 1:07.83 in the 100-meter breaststroke at the U.S. trials Sunday in Indianapolis, set two individual meet records and Long Beach Wilson won the girls’ team championship with 148 points, thanks largely to seven meet records the Bruins set.

Long Beach Wilson also won the boys’ team championship with 134 points, well ahead of second-place La Verne Damien, which had 92 points, and defending meet-champion Dos Pueblos, which finished third with 77.

The Bruins’ girls team won the title over second-place Los Alamitos, with 123 points, and Thousand Oaks La Reina with 82. Fountain Valley’s boys’ and girls’ team each placed fourth overall.

Hardy, who will swim at California next season, set meet records in 200-yard individual medley (2:04.58) and the 100-yard breaststroke (1:01.25). Teammate Elise Etem set meet records in the 100 butterfly (56.50) and the 50 freestyle (24.50).

Long Beach Wilson also got a record-setting effort by Lara Pease in the 100 backstroke (57.10), and she won the 100 free in 53.33 seconds.

The Bruins, who won every event except the 200 and 500 freestyle and the 200 freestyle relay, also set meet records in the 200-medley and 400-freestyle relays.

Hardy, Pease, Etem and Michelle Caswell were timed 1:45.13 in the 200 medley relay, and Etem, Kendall Wootten, Pease and Hardy went 3:35.77 in the 400 relay.
