Baseball: Windward runs their way right out of the playoffs.
Windward came up a run short in their first round game of the CIF Division 6 playoffs, losing to The Webb Schools 4-3 on Friday afternoon despite some terrific pitching by senior Kirav Patel.
Junior Max Schrage hit a RBI single that brought in Tanner Savitsky. A few pitches later, Tyler McMorrow hit a two-run double bringing home Schrage and Jason Lurie. Patel held the Gauls to one run while his teammates provided run support taking a 3-1 lead in the top of the fourth inning.
The lead would not last however.
The Gauls started their rally after Ryan Whithorn scored on a Ian Henry’s fly out to right field. On a controversial call, Josh Hartman hit a grounder to shortstop, on what appeared to be an out at first base was ruled safe.
One batter later, Aaron Digiamarino hit a two-run double to right center field bringing home Ian Chavez and Josh Hartman giving them a 4-3 lead.

Baseball: Windward’s Patel throws second straight no-hitter
With all their success in basketball this year, not much attention has been paid to Windward’s baseball program. That would be a mistake, especially when senior Kirav Patel steps on the mound.
The lefty has thrown consecutive no-hitters in his first two starts, including a 10-0 win over Milken on Wednesday.
Patel, who has earned All-Delphic League honors in his sophomore and junior seasons, had 10 strikeouts and two walks in the victory.
He also plays first base for the Wildcats .
Windward (4-1) has a doubleheader at Bishop later today.
