Conejo Oaks 0, US Collegiate National Team 6

| July 1, 2016

July 1, 2016 Anaheim, CA The Conejo Oaks hitters felt what it was like to bat against the best pitchers in college baseball today, managing only one hit in a 6-0 lost to the US Collegiate National Team at Angels Stadium. Chad Spanberger's (Arkansas) double off of J.B. Bukauskas (North Carolina) was the lone bright spot for the Oaks offense. On the other hand, Conejo's pitchers fared a bit better. Starter Isaiah Campbell (Arkansas) went five innings and only allowed a pair of hits and one run against the best hitters in college baseball, and the next four relievers the Oaks sent out managed about the same, allowing only two more hits over the next three innings. It wasn't until the ninth inning, with Logan Gillaspie (Oxnard JC) on the mound that the National Team broke the game open with three runs on two hits and two walks. "It was a great atmosphere against a very talented team," Oaks Manager David Soliz said after the game. "Going into the ninth the hit totals were three to one. We hung with them until the ninth." The National Team's pitching was the story for sure tonight. Bukauskas, Tim Cate (UConn) and Tyler Johnson (North Carolina) were dominant, recording a combined 14 strikeouts. The National Team plays its final exhibition game against the CCL tomorrow as they take on the Academy Barons at 1pm at the MLB Urban Youth Academy.
