June 22, 2019 Healdsburg, CA Connor Mack (Cal) singled with one out in the bottom of the ninth of a tie ballgame, advanced to third on a single by Aaron Beaulaurier (Rice) and scored a walk-off run on a wild pitch as the Healdsburg Prune Packers beat the Solano Mudcats 6-5 tonight at Recreation Park. Mack and Beaulaurier were not only instrumental in the Packers winning the game, they were key to Healdsburg even having a chance as both players and Tyler Thornton (St. Mary’s) hit two-out RBI-singles as part of a four-run rally in the seventh inning that erased a 5-1 deficit. Healdsburg was down after Solano posted a four-run rally of their own in the sixth inning, loading the bases with no outs on two walks and a single and then scoring on another walk, two run-scoring groundouts and a two-out RBI-single by Hunter Dorraugh (Sac St.). Kenny Haus (UConn), who entered the game to pitch for the Packers in relief of Elijah Birdsong (Pacific), held the Mudcats scoreless over the final three innings, striking out three and pitching around a single and a walk in each inning while the Packers offense made their comeback. Trey Garlett (Texas Tech) started on the mound tonight for Healdsburg and threw three shutout innings with two strikeouts before turning the pitching duties over to Cole Stilwell (Texas Tech) who pitched two innings and allowed Solano’s first run in the fourth inning when the leadoff hitter reached base after being hit by a pitch and eventually scored on a two-out single by James Harwell (Sonoma St). Nate Freeman (UC Davis) was the starting pitcher for Solano, striking out three over his five-inning start and allowing one run when Bryson Hill (Houston) doubled to lead off the second inning and scored two outs later on a Kevin Sandri (Pacific) single. Diego Ramirez (Occidental) relieved Hill to start the sixth inning and allowed five runs on nine hits while striking out five to suffer the loss.

Kaminkow’s first double came in the second inning and was the big hit in a five-run rally that gave Conejo the early lead. Jacob Castro (UC Irvine) and Ryne Yamashiro (Cal Lutheran) ignited the rally with consecutive singles to leadoff the inning and, after an error plated the first Conejo run, Kaminkow hit his double, advanced to third on a Gabe Baldovino (Ventura JC) single and scored on an RBI-groundout, and then Baldovino scored on a Will Pickets single. The rally gave the Oaks a 5-1 lead after Santa Barbara scored once in their first at bat on an error. Conejo added a run to their lead in the fourth inning when Steele Ledford (UC Santa Barbara) led off with a double and scored on a two-single by Justin Ammons (Tennessee). The Foresters started inching their way back into the game, scoring once in their half of the fourth inning on the first of three Diego Harris singles, twice in the fifth without the benefit of a hit, scoring on an error and a sacrifice fly, and once in the seventh when Ross Cadena (Wichita St) doubled, advanced to third on a single by Connor McKenna (Oklahoma) and scored on a sacrifice fly to get Santa Barbara within one, 6-5. The Oaks added insurance runs in the eighth inning when they got two runners on base via a walk and hit batsman and, with two outs, Kaminkow doubled again to post the final score. Clay Rickerman (Cal Lutheran) held the Foresters scoreless over the last two innings in relief of Noah Mattera (UNLV) who picked up the win, pitching three and a third innings of relief with three strikeouts. Carson Carter (Texas Tech) started on the mound for Conejo and allowed one run on one hit in two innings of work before turning the pitching duties over to Peyton Ebel (Greensboro). Luke Taggart (Incarnate Word) was the starting pitcher for the Foresters and suffered the loss, allowing six runs on seven hits over four innings. Nico O’Donnell (Texas) struck out three over three scoreless innings and Brock Helverson (West Virginia) pitched the last inning and two-thirds scoreless with three strikeouts in relief of Connor Curry (Nebraska). Click here for recaps of this game San Luis Obispo, CA Noah Huerta (Texas Tech), Kyle Richardson (Texas A&M), Andrew Alvarez (Cal Poly) and Connor Wilford combined to hold the Arroyo Seco Saints to three runs on only four hits and lead the San Luis Obispo Blues to a 7-3 win today at Sinsheimer Park. Huerta, who struck out two over four innings and allowed only one hit, a Thomas Luevano (USD) home run to lead off the fourth inning, was the beneficiary of ample run support. The Blues scored six unanswered runs to start the game: Once in their first at bat when Ryan Cole (Notre Dame) hit a leadoff single and scored on a Taison Corio (Delta JC) single, four times in the second inning on a Dylan Beavers (Cal) solo home run, a two-out two-run single by Hunter Swift (Oral Roberts) and a first-and-third double steal of home, and once in the third when Julian Bury (Columbia), who had doubled in his first at bat, hit an RBI-single to put the Blues up 6-0. The Blues then scored their final run of the game immediately after the Saints scored their first, scoring once in the fourth inning when TJ Rumfield (Texas Tech) hit a single to drive in Cole who reached on a bunt single, stole second base and scored for the third time in the game. Richardson relieved Huerta to start the fifth inning and struck out the side in the fifth and struck out one more in the sixth to pitch two scoreless. Alvarez pitched the eighth inning an allowed an unearned run when an error allowed Luevano, who had singled and stole second base, to score. Wilford also allowed one hit and one run, surrendering a leadoff double in the ninth inning to Evan Russell (Tennessee) who would eventually score on a run-producing groundout to post the final score. Luis Ramirez (Long Beach St) started on the mound for Arroyo Seco and allowed five runs on six hits to suffer the loss. Hayden Harris (Georgia Southern) relieved Ramirez to start the third inning and went on to strikeout seven in five innings before Michael Hendricks (Lee) came in to pitch a scoreless eighth with two strikeouts.
