Westmont ace wins classic pitcher’s duel in extra-inning CCS Division II baseball thriller

CAMPBELL – Most of the Westmont team was still congratulating Lakin Anderson for driving the game-winning ninth inning single into center field and pushing the Warriors into the Central Coast Section Division II semifinals when Mason Pound went over to Los Altos pitcher Eric Colgrove.

After the two threw for a combined 17 ⅔ innings and hurled 187 pitches in a classic duel, the winning pitcher would not leave the field without expressing his profound respect for his adversary, who had collapsed in despair after the final out.
