Baseball: Milteberger outpitches Torrey

NEWPORT BEACH - Laguna Hills High senior and UCLA-bound Dan

Miltenberger won a pitching duel against Newport Harbor’s Ryan Torrey as

the Hawks edged the host Sailors, 2-1, in a Sea View League baseball game

Wednesday.

Miltenberger struck out nine and tossed a two-hitter as Laguna Hills

remained undefeated in six Sea View games.

The Hawks scored twice in the fifth to break a scoreless tie, then

Harbor (4-11, 0-7 in league) rallied for a run in the bottom half of the

inning, but left runners on second and third with nobody out.

In the seventh, the Sailors loaded the bases with two outs, but

Miltenberger coaxed the final hitter into a game-ending groundout.

Torrey, a junior right-hander, struck out three, walked only one and

yielded five hits in a route-going effort.

“That’s his best outing of the year,” Newport Harbor Coach Joel

Desguin said.

The Tars play host Woodbridge Friday at Windrow Park in Irvine at 7

p.m.
