Village Christian had no answer to James Heller on Tuesday as he struck out seven batters over 5.1 innings while giving up three earned (and two unearned) runs off six hits (and not a single walk). As if that's not impressive enough, the pitching appearance was his seventh in a row with more than six strikeouts. For the year, Heller has an ERA of 1.69 over 37.3 innings pitched.
Heller and De Toledo will play host again on Wednesday to welcome Santa Paula, where first pitch is scheduled at 3:00 p.m. Heller has dominated as far as hits are concerned (he's averaged 1.3 per game this season), but he's got his work cut out for him considering Santa Paula has only allowed 5.65 per game this season.
