DIAMOND NOTES . . . Gunn High graduate Anthony Rea of Santa Clara University was named the West Coast Conference / Rawlings Pitcher of the Week after registering two outstanding game-winning performances last week for the Broncos. Rea, a senior, captured the first of two victories during the week in Santa Clara's 12-inning 6-5 win over Stanford last Tuesday night at Stephen Schott Stadium. He pitched the final two full innings of the game, faced seven Cardinal batters and allowed just one to reach base on a walk. On May 13 in Malibu, Rea pitched a complete-game masterpiece in a 2-1 victory over WCC West Division-leading Pepperdine. The economics major, who owns a 3.424 cumulative grade point average, allowed just eight hits and struck out six of the 33 batters he faced. Rea did not allow a walk in the game . . .
