They played two all-star baseball games Saturday night at Birmingham in the Valley Invitational Baseball League, and the pitchers were dominant.
In the first game, the American League defeated the National League, 1-0, with North Hollywood Harvard-Westlake's Joe Cadiff driving in the game's only run with a single. One of the most impressive pitchers was sophomore Lucas Giolito of Harvard-Westlake. He threw a scoreless inning on seven pitches.
In the second game, Crespi's Kevin Williams hit a two-run home run, but he was on the losing side. The National League defeated the American League, 4-2.
Valencia West Ranch (13-1) and Chatsworth (16-3) continue to lead the league standings. Playoffs begin this month.
