DAILY NEWS INVITATIONAL ROUNDUP: Q.H. HAS MORE RUNS TO SPARE.

Byline: Daily News

Coming off a mercy-rule victory over Poly High of Sun Valley on Friday, the Quartz Hill baseball team had plenty left for host Notre Dame of Sherman Oaks on Saturday.

Quartz Hill scored 11 runs in the first inning and went on to a 14-2 victory in a Daily News Invitational game.

The Rebels (2-0) led off the top of the first inning with six consecutive hits, finishing with 10 before the end of the inning. In all, Quartz Hill had 17 hits, six of which were doubles against a Notre Dame pitching staff that was throwing strikes, walking just two batters.

Junior Matt Ware went 3 for 5 with two doubles, a stolen base and an RBI for Quartz Hill, which had scored 22 unanswered runs in two games until Notre Dame (1-1) scored twice in the second inning.

``Matt is one of the best players I've ever coached,'' Rebels coach Lance Pierson said.

--L.A. Baptist 8, Pacifica 6: Host L.A. Baptist of North Hills (1-1) held off a late rally by Pacifica of Oxnard to hang on for the victory.

Leading 8-5, Joe Arnold, who relieved stater Casey Parks in the fifth inning, gave up a bases-loaded single to Pacifica's Reggie Mosqueda.

Arnold, however, bounced back, striking out Ralph Almaguez and getting Victor Franco to ground out to end the game.

--Simi Valley 11, Palmdale 7: Mike Moscatello went 3 for 4, including a two-run double, and Phi Toczynski and Shane Ampe each had two hits and two RBI for visiting Simi Valley (2-0).

Bryan Evan (1-0) allowed one run on two hits in 2 2/3 innings in relief of starter John Schock. Palmdale (1-1) trailed 8-0 entering the bottom of the fourth, when Chad Wolf and Matt Casey each had RBI doubles in a four-run inning.

--Agoura 2, Roosevelt 0: Brendan Quon went 2 for 3 with an RBI as Agoura scored two first-inning runs in the victory over visiting Roosevelt of Los Angeles (0-2).

After Brandon Quin hit a sacrifice fly to score Nick Trombetta, Quon knocked a line-drive base hit into center field, driving in Jonathan Fersht to give Agoura an 2-0 lead.

That would be all the runs Agoura (2-0) would need. The Chargers used four pitchers, with J.T. Trelatsky picking the win and A.J. Graybill nailing down the save by retiring the three batters he faced in the seventh inning.

--La Canada 4, Glendale 3: Trailing by a run heading into the bottom of the seventh inning, host La Canada (2-0) rallied, scoring twice en route to the victory against Glendale (0-2).

--Burbank 14, Malibu 1: Anthony Mazziotti went 3 for 4 and drove in six runs to lead Burbank (2-0) over host Malibu (0-2) in a five-inning mercy-rule victory.
