Del Rey league recap: 5/14/12

Del Rey's top pitcher this week was Bowdien Derby. He won one game and struck out 10 batters.

Bishop Amat (20-9, 11-2) is red-hot, having won five straight games, the longest such streak in the league. In the past week, the Lancers won another two games, including a 10-4 win over Mira Costa. The team's hottest hitter over the past week was Andrew Medina, who had three hits and drove in one run.

The Lancers' pitching was especially stingy this week, allowing five hits and three walks to lead the league in both categories. Bishop Amat's pitchers have been charged with only 160 hits and have struck out 179 batters. Daniel Zamora is tops on the staff with 63 Ks.

La Salle's 55 strikeouts this week were a league-worst, but the Lancers have struck out more times (143) than any other team this year
