Voorhees opened the door for Santa Susana in the second inning with a three-run double down the left-field line that gave Santa Susana a 5-0 lead. He also had a first-inning double. John Whipp doubled in two runs in the first for Santa Susana. Four Westside pitchers, including loser Evan Faught, combined to give up 15 hits and allowed every Santa Susana starter to reach base at least once.
