HIGH SCHOOL ROUNDUP : Lee Pitches Thousand Oaks’ 2nd No-Hitter

Senior right-hander Mike Lee pitched a no-hitter to lead Thousand Oaks High to a 5-0 Marmonte League victory Friday over host Agoura.

Lee (3-0), who retired 16 of the last 18 batters, struck out five and walked four. He lowered his earned-run average to 1.60 over a team-high 35 innings.

Shortstop Bryan Corey preserved the no-hitter in the sixth inning when he fielded Jason Warren’s ground ball up the middle and threw him out.

“That was a tremendous play,” Thousand Oaks Coach Jim Hansen said. “Mike pitched great and a play like that really picked him up.”

The no-hitter was the second by Thousand Oaks this season. Left-hander Adam West no-hit Camarillo on April 5.

Ryan Kritscher, David Skeels and Jason Goldstein each had two hits for the Lancers (14-5-1, 7-2-1 in league play), who pulled to within a half-game of first-place Simi Valley in the league standings. Agoura fell to 3-13, 0-10.
