Senior catcher Nick La Face of Sherman Oaks Notre Dame earned some respect Saturday night when he won the home-run derby for the Anderson Bat National Classic, perhaps the most prestigious tournament in the Southland.
Each of the 16 participating schools had two players entered in the home-run derby, and La Face ended up with 13 home runs in three rounds.
Notre Dame, the defending Southern Section Division III champion, begins first-round play in the National Classic on Monday against Jesuit at 1 p.m. at El Dorado High.
