Lakewood takes lead in Moore League with O'Toole gem

Lakewood pitcher Terry O'Toole allowed one hit through seven innings and Mark Bonner launched a grand slam as Lakewood beat Wilson 3-0 in a key Moore League game. Wilson fell from a share of first place. Lakewood moved to one game up on Wilson and two on Ford or in the standings. Millikan also won, edging Compton 5-3 to remain in the tight race with three games left. Wilson, trailing 3-1 entering the eighth, faced Girona with two on and no outs before Bonner delivered the decisive swing. The Bruins were held to a lone third-inning single by Bob Holland. O'Toole faced 22 batters, one over the minimum, as Lakewood built a 3-0 lead and preserved it. The Lancers benefited from Gwyn's errors and an insurance dash by Bonner over the right-center restraining flags.
