It looks like the ex-Sherman Oaks Notre Dame pitchers are having a good time in the West Valley League.
On Tuesday, it was Jack Hartman of Reseda Cleveland shutting out Chatsworth, 1-0.
On Thursday, it was Nick Milone of Chatsworth shutting out Cleveland, 2-0, with a three-hitter. Both are former Notre Dame players.
It means that Cleveland (18-8, 5-1) and Chatsworth (18-8, 5-1) are tied for first place. Garrett Kueber had two hits.
