Capistrano Valley’s Nolan Clark drew a bases-loaded walk with two out in the top of the seventh inning to break a scoreless tie and Tyler Matzek followed with a two-run single as part of a four-run outburst that has given the Cougars a 4-0 lead over Orange Lutheran tonight in a Division I second-round game at Hart Park in Orange.

Lutheran is coming up for its final at-bat and will face Clark, who has relieved Matzek.

Ben Bolch has been a Los Angeles Times staff writer since 1999. He is serving his second stint as the UCLA beat writer, which seems fitting since he has covered almost every sports beat except hockey and horse racing. Bolch is also the author of the recently released book “100 Things UCLA Fans Should Know & Do Before They Die.” He previously covered UCLA basketball from 2010-11 before going on to cover the NBA and the Clippers for five years. He happily traded in gobs of hotel points and airline miles to return to cover UCLA basketball and football in the summer of 2016. Bolch was once selected by NBA TV’s “The Starters” as the “Worst of the Week” after questioning their celebrity journalism-style questions at an NBA All-Star game and considers it one of his finer moments.
