June 7, 2016 - Pasadena, CA Gunnar Friend (Avila University) threw six shutout innings, allowing only two singles while striking out eight to lead the Arroyo Seco Saints to a 2-0 win over the Orange County Riptide at Jackie Robinson Stadium. It was the first win in the CCL for the Saints, who joined the league this offseason. Friend had plenty of support from the bullpen as Gabe Golob (NYU), Josh Little (NC Central) and Zack Phillips (Grayson) each pitched an inning of scoreless ball to secure the shutout, Phillips striking out the side in the ninth to earn the save. Spencer Mossburg (Lee University) and Corey Harrell (Graceland) hit back-to-back doubles to score a run for the Saints in the first inning, and Mossburg drove in the game's only other run with his second double in the fifth.
