Baseball:

To say Maranatha has steamrolled its Olympic League competition would be quite an understatement.

On Wednesday, the Minutemen improved to 11-0 in league after a 14-0, five-inning victory at Whittier Christian.

They out-hit the Heralds, 13-1.

MHS has outscored Olympic League programs by a combined margin of 121-12.

Maranatha got to Caleb Orr and Zion Park for 14 runs on 13 hits and three walks.

And no one in the San Gabriel Valley or elsewhere is currently on the torrid pace than that of Cider Canon.

In his last seven at-bats, Canon has hit five home runs.

And that includes three on Wednesday.

Canon went 4-for-4 with six RBIs.

Dylan Zdunek walked, doubled, homered and scored three runs.

AJ Beltre walked, singled, scored and drove in a pair of runs.
