Four pitchers from the Southern California-laden Milwaukee Brewers combined to hold the Chicago White Sox scoreless Tuesday in the Area Code Games at Blair Field in Long Beach.

Unfortunately for the Brewers, their White Sox counterparts did the same during a 0-0 tie.

Camarillo’s Hunter Virant pitched three shutout innings for the Brewers, followed by one scoreless inning each from Kieran Lovegrove of Mission Viejo, Cole Irvin of Servite, Connor Baits of San Diego Point Loma and Felipe Perez of Fairmont Prep.

The Brewers take a 2-1-1 record into their final game at 2:30 Wednesday against the Texas Rangers.

He is serving his second stint as the UCLA beat writer, which seems fitting since he has covered almost every sports beat except hockey and horse racing. Bolch is also the author of the recently released book “100 Things UCLA Fans Should Know & Do Before They Die.” He previously covered UCLA basketball from 2010-11 before going on to cover the NBA and the Clippers for five years. He happily traded in gobs of hotel points and airline miles to return to cover UCLA basketball and football in the summer of 2016. Bolch was once selected by NBA TV’s “The Starters” as the “Worst of the Week” after questioning their celebrity journalism-style questions at an NBA All-Star game and considers it one of his finer moments.
