Ortega’s Double a Winner, 10-8

Clemente Ortega’s bases-loaded double with no outs in the sixth inning gave Studio City North the decisive runs in a 10-8 victory over San Fernando in an American Legion District 20 baseball game at Sylmar High on Tuesday.

Ortega, who was three for four, gave Studio City North a 9-7 lead with his double and then scored on a single by Mario Pacheco.

Pacheco was also three for four for Studio City North (7-3), which led, 5-0, at the end of two innings, but trailed, 7-6, after 4 1/2 innings.

Woodland Hills East 13, North Hollywood East 2--Right fielder Mitch Spector’s one-out, bases-empty home run broke a 2-2 tie in the top of the fifth and started an 11-run outburst that inning for Woodland Hills East at Franklin Field.

Spector was four for four with three RBIs. He has 12 hits in his past 15 at-bats, an .800 average. Pitcher Jeff Spector (2-1), Mitch’s brother, allowed three hits in four innings for the win and was two for three. Alfredo Saenz also hit a three-run home run for Woodland Hills East (9-3).

Burbank North 13, Van Nuys South 3--Corry Parrott hit a two-run double in the second inning and a three-run, inside-the-park home run in the third to lead Burbank North (4-6), which scored five runs in each of those innings at Birmingham High. Jessie Perez went the distance, allowing six hits while striking out seven.

Panorama City 4, Granada Hills West 2--Victor Hall’s RBI single in the third gave Panorama City (8-2) the eventual game-winning run and a 3-0 lead at Alemany. Rafael Arroyo had a run-scoring double in the fourth.
