AGOURA SCORES WINS IN BASEBALL, SOFTBALL; SHUTOUT LEADS TO 6-2 RECORD : AGOURA 3, CALABASAS 0.Byline: Jim Inghram Daily News Staff Writer Putting the nonleague game with Calabasas in perspective, Agoura's Jennifer Grennan didn't focus on her five-hit shutout or her booming triple that drove in a run and helped the Chargers defeat the Coyotes 3-0 Tuesday. Instead the senior said: ``I was just having fun. I'm out to have a good time.'' A commanding performance will help anyone's glee level reach new heights, and with her masterful change-up working throughout the game, Grennan and her teammates had plenty to smile about. She improved to 4-1, the team to 6-2. She struck out five and didn't walk a batter. Calabasas fell to 3-4. ``As long as her changeup change·up n.

Whitcher cut down one runner on a stolen base attempt in the first and picked off one at first in the sixth. ``Our defense has been playing excellent all year,'' Pat Grennan said. ``That along with timely hitting and good pitching has been helping us win games.'' Calabasas put together its only threat in the seventh. Jessica Armacost singled to center with one out. One out later Heather Bell doubled into the gap for her second hit of the game. Armacost was held at third when a strong throw from the center fielder Davie to relay person Amanda Oleson made Calabasas coach Gina Hairapetian throw up the stop sign.
