Santa Barbara, CA
After a rocky first week of the CCL season the Santa Barbara Foresters have seemingly righted the ship, winning their fifth straight league contest today 5-2 over the Menlo Park Legends and vaulting to the top of the CCL standings with a 6-4 record.
(*The Foresters and Conejo Oaks are tied atop the CCL standings with 6-4 records. The Oaks stats have not caught up to their official results as of yet so the standings do not reflect this 6-4 tie). Hunter Williams (Tulane) led the Foresters offense today with three hits and two RBI. See the boxscore/recap

Danny Thomas (Cal St Monterey Bay) came into the game and retired the last three Blues hitters, two via the strikeout, to pick up the save.
