High School Baseball : Seven Errors Saddle Camarillo With 8-8 Tie

Camarillo’s Aurileo Lopes was injured while playing for the football team, but his absence is hurting the baseball team.

Without Lopes, who started at shortstop for the Scorpions as a sophomore last year, Camarillo has tried three different players at his position. None has done the job and Tuesday, when the Scorpions traveled to Lompoc, no one else did either.

Three Camarillo pitchers limited Lompoc to 3 hits but Camarillo committed 7 errors in its 8-8 tie with the Braves in a nonleague game at Lompoc that was called after seven innings because of darkness.

“We’re still trying to find a shortstop,” Camarillo Coach Ken Wagner said. “We’re shuffling guys around to find the right combination.”

Camarillo’s Don Dodson was 3 for 4 with a double. John Barroso and Gil Valencia each had 2 hits for the Scorpions (3-2-1).

Saugus 2, Santa Clara 1--Saugus’ Jeff Bodeau pitched a 4-hitter to lead the Centurions to a nonleague victory at Saugus.

Bodeau (2-1), a right-handed senior, struck out 7 batters while walking 2. He also singled in the winning run for Saugus (4-2) in the second inning after teammate Roger Salkeld had doubled.

Moorpark 12, Harvard 5--Four Harvard pitchers allowed 10 hits in the nonleague game at Harvard. Brad Vicioni had Moorpark’s only extra-base hit, a run-scoring double in the sixth.

Starter Buck Robinson (0-2) retired only one batter and allowed 5 runs in the first. Harvard dropped to 3-3.

Village Christian 7, Brentwood 3--Russ Henzie knocked in 4 runs and had 3 hits to lead the Crusaders to a nonleague victory. His 2-run home run in the fifth was his first of the season and brought Village Christian back from an early 2-0 deficit.

Marshall Fundamental 7, Highland Hall 5--Marshall Fundamental scored 6 runs in the fifth inning to rally back from a 4-1 deficit in the Serra tournament. Highland Hall stole 12 bases.
