DAY IN SPORTS: WESTLAKE'S ADAMCZYK GETS GREEN LIGHT TO PLAY DESPITE INJURY.

Byline: Daily News

Westlake High baseball coach Chuck Barrington got the good news even before his Warriors defeated Simi Valley 4-1 Friday to remain within a half-game of Marmonte League leader Agoura.

Tyler Adamczyk, the Warriors' University of California-bound senior standout who has sparked Westlake as a hitter and a pitcher, had been given a medical clearance to play, despite needing to be helped off the field with what appeared to be a serious injury Wednesday.

``I was shocked when the doctor gave me the news,'' said Barrington, who used Adamczyk as a designated hitter against Simi Valley and likely won't pitch him again until the Southern Section playoffs begin.

Adamczyk, who pitches have been clocked in low-90s, sustained two hairline fractures in his foot while sliding into second base late in Wednesday's 11-4 loss to Agoura - after he had delivered three hits for the Warriors.

Chris White carried much of the load for Westlake against Simi Valley, limiting the Pioneers to four hits in a complete-game effort. Brandon Nunez doubled to pace a six-hit attack by the Warriors (20-5-1, 8-2-1), who end league play next Friday at Royal.
