Kennedy senior Alonzo Munoz is SBLive's Southern California Athlete of the Week (May 22-27)
Alonzo Munoz knows how to close. Even when he starts.
The senior pitcher for Kennedy-Granada Hills pitched a complete game seven-hitter with four strikeouts and two weeks in a 2-0 LA City Section semifinal baseball win over Poly.
Munoz finished the season 7-2 with a 2.29 ERA with 55 strikeouts and 26 walks in 58 innings pitched.
For his efforts against Poly, Munoz earned a spot on an SBLive performance list, which vaulted him into the running for athlete of the week.
Munoz piled up more than 8,000 votes and 55.6 percent of the vote to win the SBLive Southern California High School Athlete of the Week Award for May 22-27, presented by Jersey Mike's Subs.
