(Santa Fe Springs) – Bowdien “Bubba” Derby went all\u00a0the way to be king of the hill and\u00a0lead La Salle to its first ever Del Rey championship by throwing a no hitter to beat St Paul 2-0 and end Bishop Amat’s long league title reign Wednesday. It was also La Salle’s\u00a0 first pennant since moving out of the Santa Fe league in 2005.<\/p>\n

Derby was hardly threatened at all until the seventh when St Paul’s Aaron Pinto slap-chopped a ricochet shot off the front plate in third\u00a0baseman Chris Williams’ direction. Williams, forced\u00a0 to attempt a no-look throw from a difficult position, appeared to have\u00a0 it nailed by several steps, but the ball narrowly missed its target,\u00a0 sizzling up foul territory for a three base error.<\/p>\n

Williams put La Salle up 1-0 after blasting a line drive RBI double to the left\u00a0 corner fence, cashing in Jordan Rodgers. The Lancers’ other run came\u00a0in the third\u00a0when Derby drew a lead-off walk, stole a base, and\u00a0 scored on David Sanchez’ RBI double.<\/p>\n

Derby, a San Diego State\u00a0 commit, calmly bid adios to and caught the final two batters looking for his ninth and tenth\u00a0strikeouts. He hit a batter to lead off the second but La Salle catcher David Sanchez darted shortstop Antonio Ruiz<\/a> to prevent that runner from taking second. The next incursion came with\u00a0 one out in the fifth with 9-batter Zack Ramsay drawing a walk, but the next batter drilled a laser right to the glove of second-baseman Austin\u00a0 Wallis, who easily galloped to first for the unassisted inning-ending\u00a0 double play<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
