Zach Brown strikes out 11 for Villa Park in 5-0 victory

Expectations have always been high for Villa Park junior pitcher Zach Brown. His older brothers are Dillon, who played baseball at Cal State Fullerton, and Tommy, a standout lineman at Santa Ana Mater Dei who went to Alabama and now is at Colorado. So even though Zach is the “little” brother at 6 feet 5, he’s expected to do big things.

On Wednesday, he certainly looked the part, striking out 11 in Villa Park’s 5-0 victory over Yorba Linda. He walked one and gave up three hits. His father, Vince, is a former baseball coach who’s the athletic director at Orange Lutheran.
