Pitching and defense figured to be the elements that would carry the Palisades High baseball team to its second consecutive Western League championship this season and both were on display in Woodland Hills last Tuesday when senior David Bromberg threw the first no-hitter of his high school career in the Dolphins’ 11-0 rout of Taft. Bromberg (1-0) struck out seven and walked one in a game shortened to five innings by the 10-run mercy rule. Palisades also played quality defense behind him’something it had failed to do in Bromberg’s previous start at San Fernando, where errors led to each of the Tigers’ runs. In addition to his stellar outing on the mound, Bromberg had two hits and drove in three runs at the plate. Short stop Dylan Cohen singled, doubled and tripled as Pali poured it on in the middle innings. Palisades (4-3) followed its shutout of Taft with a 13-1 rout of Crenshaw at George Robert field the next day. Cohen hit a three-run home run in the fourth inning, and Bromberg hit a three-run homer of his own in the sixth. Cohen added a single and a double and finished with five RBIs and three runs scored while Bromberg singled in a run and scoring twice himself. Turhan Folse struck out nine and walked three over four innings to earn the victory. Palisades played in the Fresno Tournament Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and opens league play Monday against University.
