The La Salle High School Lancers rolled over St. Monica High School (Santa Monica) with a 14-0 crusher in their Del Rey League opener yesterday, March 20, at the La Salle diamond.
La Salle hitters Nick Brown and Bowdein “Bubba†Derby each hit a home run for the team, while star pitcher Austin Wallis pitched magic from the mound.
The game sets the stage for La Salle as they head into a Friday match against Bishop Amat, currently the No. 3 team in the latest CIF-Southern Section Top 10 coaches poll. The Lancers remain unranked.
