June 26, 2018 Healdsburg, CA The remarkable winning streak which has been the top story of the CCL season so far is over as Ian Villers (Cal), Jackson Cunningham (Northridge) and Chrit Rudkin (Montevallo) combined for a 15-strikeout, four-hit shutout of the Santa Barbara Foresters, leading the Healdsburg Prune Packers to 3-0 win tonight at Recreation Park. The loss ended the Foresters 12-game winning streak to start the CCL season. Villers, who starting on the mound for Healdsburg, notched two strikeouts in each of the three innings he pitched and escaped two innings with runners in scoring position by striking out a batter for the third out. Cunningham pitched the next four innings without giving up a hit, stuck out five and pitched through two situations when the leadoff batter of an inning reached via an error, both times striking out the next two batters he faced. Rudkin pitched the last two innings of the shutout, allowing one hit while striking out four, including the final outs of both innings. The Packers got all the offense they would need in their first at bat. Wendell Champion II (Houston) doubled to lead off the bottom of the first inning and scored when the next batter, Ryan Ruley (Loyola Marymount) reached on an error. Two outs advanced Ruley to third and a passed ball allowed him to score to give Healdsburg a 2-0 lead. Quentin Selma (Cal) drove a runner in from first base with a double with two outs in the fifth inning to post the final 3-0 margin.

The four-run inning gave the Saints a 6-0 lead, adding to runs produced by a Bennett McCaskill (Dartmouth) two-out RBI-single in the first inning and a Chavez RBI-single in the third. From that point forward in the game, however, the scoring was exclusively on the Barons side as they slowly got back into the game. Trevor Mattson (Arcadia) got the Academy on the board with an RBI-double in the fifth, got them closer when he and Adam Cendejas each drove runs in with two-out singles in the sixth, and Daniel Harris (Eastern Kentucky) drove in another in the seventh with a RBI-single of his own to make the score 6-4. While the Barons mounted increasing pressure on the Saints pitching, they also squandered opportunities to score more, leaving runners in scoring position in four of the last five innings. Saints pitchers Bobby Fulkerson (So New Hamp) and Joey Steele (USF) were key to preserving the win, as Fulkerson pitched out of a situation when he was inserted into the seventh inning with no outs and a runner on second base, ultimately stranding two runners in scoring position without allowing a run to score, and Steele, who came into the game with two runners aboard and two outs in the eighth inning, pitched out of that situation by striking out the first batter he faced and then retired the side in order in the ninth to save the win.

The Catch jumped out to a 6-0 lead after three innings, scoring one in the first on a Wacy Crenshaw two-out RBI-single, three in the second on consecutive RBI-singles by Miguel Abascal (USD), Bourgeois and David Martinez (Senior) and two in the third on a two-run single by De Los Reyes. At the same time, Kearney was blanking the Riptide, including escaping a situation in the second inning when Austin Sojka (Ok Wesylan) led off with a triple but was ruled out in the next at bat for leaving third base early while attempting to score on a fly ball. Kearney was not so lucky in the fourth inning, however, as a two-out error extended the inning and Brandon Alamo (Stony Brook) hit a three-run home run to make the score 6-3. The Catch responded with two runs in the bottom of the fourth inning as Daniel Jung (Notre Dame) hit an RBI-double and scored on a Jacob Rogers (UNLV) single. Orange County would score single runs in sixth, seventh and eighth innings, Sojka and Mason McWhorter (Georgia Southern) driving in runs with singles and Paul Gomez (Missouri) doubling in one, but the Riptide also squandered run-scoring opportunities, leaving runners in scoring position in each of the last four innings, twice with no outs.
