ROUNDUP: SIMI'S BRYAN TOSSES PERFECT GAME WITH 9 KS SENIOR SHUTS DOWN BURBANK WITH WHAT IS BELIEVED A HISTORICAL PERFORMANCE.

Byline: Daily News

Evan Bryan recorded what is believed to be the first perfect game in Simi Valley High baseball history Monday, striking out nine in the Pioneers 5-0 victory over Burbank in a Daily News Invitational game.

The senior threw 66 pitches, 44 for strikes and never let a Bulldog batter see a three-ball count. The right-hander threw only four pitches in the third, five pitches in the sixth and six pitches in the seventh.

Shortstop Ben Orloff saved the perfect bid with one out in the sixth inning when he backhanded a ground ball deep in the hole between short and third base and managed to have enough on his throw to record the out at first base.

Offensively, Bryan Anderson hit a two-RBI single in the fifth inning and finished with three RBI for the game. Laydel Shelton went 2 for 3 with a run scored and three stolen bases. Teammate Phil Giannone also went 2 for 3.

The only other no-hitter on record for the Pioneers was by Bill Scheffels in 1993.

--Kennedy 1, Highland 0: Fabian Williamson lost his no-hit bid in the top of the seventh inning and nearly lost the game before regaining his composure just in time to lead Kennedy (2-1) over visiting Highland of Palmdale (2-1).

The sophomore left-hander, who had a one-run lead since the first inning, gave up a one-out double to Johnny Chavez in the top of the seventh and then proceeded to walk the next two batters he faced to load the bases.

``If he would have given up a base hit, he would have been gone,'' Kennedy coach Manny Alvarado said. ``We had a guy warming up.''

Williamson retired the next two batters, one on a strikeout and the other on a groundout, to earn a victory in his varsity debut. He threw 96 pitches, 58 for strikes and finished with nine strikeouts and four walks.

--Westlake 17, Oaks Christian 6: In its first three games, the Westlake pitching staff has endured its share of problems.

Fortunately, the Warriors' offense is as potent as ever after hitting three home runs and scoring 16 runs in the final three innings in a victory over visiting Oaks Christian of Westlake Village (2-1) in a game called in the fifth due to the mercy rule.

Westlake started its offensive outburst in the third inning when Kyle Brockett blasted a grand slam to left center that narrowed the deficit to 6-5. Michael Notaro, who has signed with Fresno State, put Westlake ahead for good when he cleared the bases with a three-run double in the fourth inning.

Notaro's younger brother, Steve, came through with a three-run homer as Westlake rallied for nine runs before the fourth inning was over. It was the first home run in the younger Notaro's career.

The final hit for Westlake was a three-run home run by Stephen Bralver that sailed over the fence in left center field.

--Notre Dame 4, Cleveland 0: Junior Mark Sunga hit a two-run home run in the first inning and added an RBI double in the fourth for host Notre Dame of Sherman Oaks (2-1).

With a comfortable lead, Kieran Doherty was able to relax throughout, scattering six hits in a complete game effort. He had five strikeouts and no walks.

Drew Vassil doubled for Cleveland of Reseda (1-2). And freshman Andrew Lambo, a left-hander, made his varsity debut, throwing five strikeouts in five innings of work.

--Quartz Hill 3, Grant 0: Brian Chavez had a hand in the one-hitter for visiting Quartz Hill (2-1) in its victory against Grant of Van Nuys (0-3) in a game which all the scoring took place in the first inning.

Chavez (1-0), making his first start, struck out three and retired Grant in four innings of work.

Quartz Hill scored three runs off with three consecutive hits by Kyle Harris, who doubled, and singles by Matt Ware and Chavez. Quartz Hill was limited to one hit, a double by Chase Tigert the rest of the way by Grant starter Leandro Dottavio (0-2), who had seven strikeouts in going the distance.

--Birmingham 4, Alemany 1 : Max Limonick threw a complete game, striking out 10 and walking two for visiting Birmingham of Lak Balboa.

Louis Perez had a two-run double in the fourth that scored Henry Morquecho and Steven McGrath, giving Birmingham the lead for good. Juan Juaregui went 2-4 with a double and an RBI, and Morquecho finished 2-3 with an RBI.

Brad Himes was 3 for 3 with an RBI doubled driving in Ryan Platt for Alemany of Mission Hills (1-2).

--Thousand Oaks 9, Vasquez 5: Thousand Oaks scored at least one run in five of the six innings it went to the plate and remained undefeated in the tournament with the victory at home.

Eric Guillen hit a two-run home run in the third inning to give the Lancers a 5-1 lead and Daniel Flickinger put the game out of reach with a thee-run shot in the fifth.

--La Canada 11, North Hollywood 0: La Canada (2-1) provided Matt Stoner with plenty of run support, scoring five runs in the third and two each in the fourth, fifth and sixth in a victory at home.

Stoner gave up four hits in five innings of work to earn his first victory of the season.

--L.A. Baptist 9, Verdugo Hills 0: Host L.A. Baptist of North Hills (2-1) had nine hits, five of which were home runs, and Graham Miller gave up one hit in six innings of work in the victory.

Miller also hit a two-run homer in the fourth inning and Brad Rice, Mike Silva, Ryan McKinzie and Colby Hyatt also homered.

--Lancaster 1, Sylmar 0: Josh White pitched four innings, giving up four hits, walking one and striking out five for Lancaster in its victory on the road.

--Montclair Prep 4, Taft 2: James DiMeo threw a complete game six- hitter and had six strikeouts for host Montclair Prep of Panorama City and teammate Michael Trump was 2 for 3 with two RBI.

--Marshall 6, Harvard-Westlake 6: Ben Soley hit a two-run home run for host Harvard-Westlake of Studio City, which couldn't manage another run and settled for a tie when the game was called in the eight due to darkness.

--Glendale 8, Canoga Park 7: Tony Egues hit a grand slam in the top of the seventh as visiting Canoga Park (2-4) nearly rallied from a five-run deficit. Egues finished 3 for 4 with six RBI.

--Notes: Antelope Valley used a five-run second inning to distance itself from host Reseda in a 10-5 victory... Granada Hills starter Jeff Rodner kept the Malibu hitter off balance throughout and the Highlanders defeated the hosts 3-0... Host Chaminade of West Hills scored five runs in the second inning and never looked back in a 7-2 victory over Van Nuys... Leo De La Rosa was 2 for 3 with two runs scored for Monroe of North Hills in a 12-2 victory over host Wilson of Los Angeles... Eagle Rock defeated host Huntington Park 9-4.
