Downey High wrapped up its first league title since 1986 - yes, 1986 - with a 5-0 win over crosstown rival Warren on Friday night.

The San Gabriel Valley League champion Vikings improved to 21-4 overall and 12-1 in league.

But it wasn't so much that Downey won, but how.

Senior right-hander Chris Munoz (7-0, 0.14 ERA) threw a no-hitter, walking three and striking out eight. He also had a triple, home run and three RBIs.

How do you spell MVP. Probably M U N O Z. He is 7-0 with an area-low 0.14 ERA and is hitting .480 with an area-leading seven home runs.

Dear Jaime,
First off, I think they played MATER Dei, and not Mader, but when you're 2-10, who cares?
