Venice Pulls Away In Softball Race:

There was some doubt about the outcome of the Western League softball race until Venice High took charge.

Led by the hitting and pitching of Danielle Mestas, Venice defeated Palisades, 3-0, and Hamilton, 6-3, and improved its league record to 11-1.

Second place Westchester has three league losses and Palisades has five.

Venice, which is 17-3-1 overall, has had some outstanding individual performances. Mestas is batting .578 and has a 9-3 pitching record with 79 strikeouts in 70 innings. Georgie Dominguez has pitched the team’s eight other wins. Michelle Ayer is hitting .541.

In other Westside softball…

Brentwood lost to Campbell Hall, 5-0, and fell to 2-4 in the Alpha League, leaving its playoff chances in jeopardy. Crossroads is 0-5 in the same league.

Santa Monica had a 10-0 win over Beverly Hills followed by a 13-0 win over Hawthorne. The Vikings are 22-2 overall, 8-0 in the Ocean League.

Living with History in the Fall Salon House:

Sunday, October 23, from 3:00 – 5:00 pm
In addition to being a stellar example of architect John Byers’ work, the Armstrong-Cobb House, site of this year’s Fall Salon, was once home to movie actresses such as Greta Garbo and Bette Davis. In later years it belonged to the Burns family. Bob Burns owned a popular restaurant bearing his name, formerly located at Second and Wilshire. The Burns children grew up in the home, and Beth and Bonnie are now the proprietors of Marmalade on Montana Avenue and donors of the delectable hors d’oeuvres we will enjoy at our salon.
