CAMPBELL – Westmont pitcher Mason Pound reacts toward infielder Peyton Hines after striking out the third batter to end the eighth inning. Westmont defeated Los Altos in a CCS Division II playoff baseball quarterfinal game at Westmont High School in Campbell, Calif.
Pound struck out eight on 94 pitches and Colgrove allowed just six hits in 8 ⅔ innings. Both kept batters from keying in on their pinpoint fastballs by mixing in a diverse array of sliders, sinkers and curveballs. The two seniors were so dominant that the first seven innings breezed by in just an hour and 20 minutes.
Westmont’s senior ace had thrown five complete games in the regular season, but had never gone more than the regulation seven innings. But with the season on the line, there was no taking Pound out of the game, regardless of how many jams the 6-foot-2 righty would have to work out of. “This was my last time playing here, and we’ve come too far to lose in the first round,” Pound said.
But as he had done all afternoon, Colgrove induced weak contact to a waiting infielder, in this case shortstop Sly Cash. Standing almost on the outfield grass, Cash threw out the runner just in time to extend the game.
