Prep sports roundup: Hunter Manning strikes out 12 in West Ranch win
Hunter Manning lives so close to the West Ranch High baseball field that he can hear sounds of balls being hit in the batting cage at night. He decided to attend Sherman Oaks Notre Dame as a freshman, requiring 6:30 a.m. wake-up calls and enduring traffic jams on the 5 Freeway. Now he sleeps until 7:45 a.m. without being late to walk to school and is playing with life-long friends. He's headed to UC Irvine in the fall to pitch and only wishes he could take catcher Nolan Stoll with him. Manning struck out 12 on Wednesday with Stoll calling the pitches in West Ranch's 3-1 win over Hart in a battle for first place in the Foothill League. West Ranch is 16-8 and 8-1. Advertisement It was by accident that Stoll started calling pitches for Manning earlier this season when the PitchCom communication device malfunctioned. It worked out so well that Stoll was allowed to continue to call the pitches for the rest of this season for Manning even though he still wears a wire and receives instructions from the dugout to move fielders. With Stoll in charge, Manning struck out a school-record 16 batters against Valencia and then came Wednesday's effort. "He called an awesome game,' Manning said. Stoll is a Stanford commit with a grade-point average out of this world. Manning's 3.8 GPA probably wouldn't get him to Stanford, so he'll need to figure a plan to take Stoll with him to Irvine. Advertisement "Sadly, I can't," he said. Omar Gutierrez had a two-run first-inning single for West Ranch. Hart (11-9, 6-2) got two hits and an unearned run off Manning in the first inning, then saw him strike out eight consecutive batters. The two teams meet again Friday at Hart. St. John Bosco 2, Mater Dei 1: The Braves got a walk-off bases-loaded walk in the bottom of the eighth inning. Gavin Cervantes threw all eight innings for the Braves. Santa Margarita 5, JSerra 1: A three-run triple by Warren Gravely IV in the top of the ninth inning keyed the Eagles' Trinity League win. Ben Finnegan finished with a double and triple. Advertisement Newport Harbor 5, Huntington Beach 2: Lucas Perez, Adam Martin and Keoni Wun each had two hits to knock off No. 1 Huntington Beach. El Dorado 4, Cypress 0: Logan Steenburgen threw the shutout, striking out two and walking none. Diego Gonzalez hit a two-run home run. Foothill 4, El Modena 1: Sean Green hit a three-run walk-off home run in the 10th inning. Edison 3, Corona del Mar 1: Gavin Johnson hit a three-run home run in the sixth inning for Edison. Etiwanda 1, Rancho Cucamonga 0: Luke Mendoza hit a sacrifice fly in the eighth inning for the game's only run. Michael Aleman threw eight innings with nine strikeouts for Etiwanda.

Prep talk: Frithsmith brothers lift Hart baseball after football contributions
Brothers Matix (left) and Ryder Frithsmith are starters for Hart's baseball team after starting for football team. (Eric Sondheimer / Los Angeles Times) Hart High's baseball team had one of its best comeback victories on Thursday, rallying from an 8-2 deficit to defeat Castaic 9-8. The Frithsmith brothers, Ryder and Matix, each had doubles in the seventh inning when Hart pushed across the tying and winning run. Advertisement "It was really cool to go up there with one out and get on and for him to keep it going and drive in the winning run," Matix said. Matix, a sophomore, and Ryder, a senior, were also standout players for the football team. Now Matix is playing left field and Ryder center field. "It's a little different because he was mostly a defensive player," Matix said. "It's cool to be in the outfield together, communicate, work together. We're still working as a team and having brother bondage." But what's up with Ryder having a higher batting average than Matix? "I don't know," Matix said. "He's been hot lately. I'm picking it up." Advertisement Hart (11-7, 6-1) has a two-game series next week with West Ranch (15-7, 7-1) for first place in the Foothill League.
