But they struggled offensively, getting just two hits off Ashford until a four-run fifth. Westlake also had two runners thrown out on the bases in the second and left the bases loaded in the third. ``I felt good coming into this game,'' Westlake coach Chuck Berrington said. ``Agoura came out and beat us, plain and simple.'' |
