Roundup: Orange Lutheran gets strong pitching from Louis Rodriguez
Orange Lutheran's baseball team knew runs would be few against Chatsworth Sierra Canyon ace Jaden Noot, so the Lancers turned to Louis Rodriguez, who threw a two-hitter in a 3-1 win over the Trailblazers.
Matthew Polk had two hits including a home run, two RBIs and a terrific defensive play in the seventh to help the Lancers improve to 6-1. Noot struck out seven and walked none.
What a play by Matthew Polk in the top of the 7th to preserve the W. A diving stab in left center. #webgem @olubaseball @SteveFryer @ocvarsity @latsondheimer pic.twitter.com/rKP1fFPNA8
