Reseda Cleveland, off to a 9-2 start, has two of the most productive hitters in the Ctiy Section in Niko Garcia and Juan Perez, both of whom are headed to Cal Poly Pomona.

Gacia is batting .528 with 15 runs batted in and no strikeouts in 47 plate appearances.

Perez is batting .529 with three triples, 14 RBIs and 10 stolen bases. Both are infielders.

Not far behind is third baseman Robert Almendarez, who’s hitting .469 with four home runs and 20 RBIs. All the hitting should help the Cavaliers emerge as a challenger to Chatsworth in the West Valley League.
