(*Recaps over the next few days will be more abridged than usual as the CCL public information service prepares for the all-star game. -PB)
Irvine, CA
Juan Cortina (St. Edwards) recorded six strikeouts over five and two-thirds innings,
Parker Joe Robinson (Texas) extended his zero ERA pitching summer with an inning and two-thirds scoreless, and
Will Tomlinson (Brown) notched four strikeouts over the last two innings, including escaping a bases-loaded situation in the eighth, to close out an Orange County Riptide 4-3 win over the San Luis Obispo Blues today at Concordia University. The San Luis Obispo trio of pitchers were almost exactly as good as their counterparts from the OC, as
Jack Schneider (Grand Canyon), who had six strikeouts in five innings,
Jake Swiech (San Jose St) and
Josh Goldberg (San Jose St) combined to allow only five hits while striking out nine. The difference in the game turned out to be a two-out walk in the seventh inning to
Will Proctor (Georgia) who scored from first base with what turned out to be the winning run on a double by
Jaxon Williams (Howard JC).
Price Visintainer (UAB) scored all three of the Blues’ runs, getting on bases in three consecutive plate appearances by two singles and a double.

Elsewhere around the CCL today:
Fairfield, CA
The Healdsburg Prune Packers again swapped places with the Neptune Beach Pearl for the top spot in the CCL North Division (fifth day in a row the two teams have swapped positions) by scoring eight runs after two outs and nobody on base in the seventh inning en route to a 15-7 win over the Rockville Rock Hounds today at Yarborough Stadium. The two-out seventh inning rally included two doubles, four singles, two walks and a hit batsman to generate the eight runs.
Jamey Smart (LMU), who earlier hit an RBI-single to drive in Healdsburg’s first run of the game in a three-run first inning when the first four batters of the game reach base safely (three singles and a reached on error), redeemed the out he made to lead off the seventh with a bases-loaded two-run single to cap the rally. The Healdsburg hitters also put a consecutive-hit streak together in the fourth inning when the first four batters recorded two doubles and two singles to score four.
Max Smith (UNLV) had a game-high four hits (two doubles, two singles) and
Willy Homza (Brown) collected a double and two singles to lead Rockville.
Cameron Warren (Texas Tech) drove in two runs on a pair of singles and a double to join Smart with three hits for the Packers.

Ty Wiest (Columbia), Jake Eissler (TCU) and
Garrett Gayle (Rice) combined for 13 strikeouts and the Santa Barbara Foresters offense put runners on base in every inning, including seven innings with multiple baserunners, to post a 10-3 win over the Ventura Halos today at Ventura College. The Foresters showed no weaknesses today as every slot in their lineup accounted for at least one hit, including hits by eight of the nine starting batters plus one pinch hitter. Santa Barbara’s
Josh Jung (Texas Tech) had a three-for-three game to lead all hitters while Wiest’s seven strikeouts over a six-inning start topped all pitchers.
