Baseball: The Nealon family gets happy finish for Newbury Park-Poly rivalry
The Newbury Park-Sun Valley Poly baseball game on Wednesday had special meaning for the Nealon family.
Greg Nealon was an All-City pitcher for Poly. His wife, Wanda, graduated from Poly in 1988, while his aunt, Diane Faehnie, graduated from Poly in 1960.
But on the mound in the seventh inning for Newbury Park pitching against Poly was Nealon’s son, Landon. He threw a scoreless seventh in Newbury Park’s 5-0 victory.
