Petrillo Hurls a Gem as Tigers Come Out of the Gate Strong

The Varsity Tigers opened Rio Hondo League play on Tuesday with a dominating performance against La Canada. Ben Petrillo pitched a complete game shutout, striking out seven and only giving up three hits over seven innings. The Spartans couldn't handle the tough right-hander, as Petrillo's overpowering fastball and tricky off-speed stuff kept their batters off balance.
