July 11, 2018 Thousand Oaks, CA Jordan McFarland (Arkansas) and Chase Cockrell (Ole Miss) hit back-to-back RBI-doubles in the second inning and then hit back-to-back home runs in the fifth and Will Pickets (CSU Bakersfield) hit three singles and drove in three runs to lead a 17-hit attack as the Conejo Oaks pummeled the Arroyo Seco Saints 17-1 today at Sparky Anderson Field. Batting in front of Cockrell and third in the batting order, McFarland generated six runs with his double and home run. His second inning double plated two runners, both of whom had reached via two-out walks, from second and first base, and Cockrell then drove him home, and his home run in the fifth was a grand slam, driving in runners who had reached on a single, walk and hit-by-pitch. McFarland's run production was indicative of how the Oaks capitalized all game. Of the nine walks issued by Arroyo Seco pitchers, seven of them would be driven in. Conejo scored its first run of the game when the leadoff hitter walked and Bart West (USC) doubled him home in the first inning. In the second inning, when Pickets drove in two with an RBI-single and McFarland and Cockrell hit their doubles, three of the five Oaks runners who scored reached on an walk. One more runner who walked scored in the fourth inning, two more in the six-run fifth and only in the eighth inning, when Conejo strung together five singles to score three times, did a free pass not figure. Gerry Ramirez (Glendale JC) started on the mound for the Oaks, scattering seven hits over five innings to allow only one run, generated in the fourth inning when Jacob Jenkins (MidAm Nazarene) hit a two-out single and scored on a Tristan Peterson double. Eric Ma (Whitman College), David Appleby (Michigan), Nick Rincover (Pierce College) and Angus Denton (Arkansas) each pitched a hitless inning in relief of Ramirez to close out the win. Ryan McConnell, the fourth of five Saints pitchers utilized in the game and the only one of the group to not allow multiple hits and multiple runs, pitched two and two-thirds innings scoreless while allowing one hit.

Although Hibbeler, batting in the leadoff position, singled and scored in the first inning, the Riptide trailed early in this game as the Catch scored two runs in their half of the first when their two leadoff hitters got aboard via a walk and a single and scored on an error and a sacrifice fly. Thomas Delgadilo, who would finish the game with three hits, singled in a run for Orange County in the second inning to tie the score 2-2, but that did not last either, as the Catch scored twice in their half on a sacrifice fly and an RBI-triple by Jacob Rogers (UNLV), and a solo home run by Grant Robbins (UNLV) in the third inning gave the Catch a 5-2 lead. It wasn't until the fourth inning that the Riptide captured the lead, scoring six no-out runs on five hits, including a leadoff triple by Luke Bandy (Dallas Baptist) and a pair of two-run doubles by Gomez and Hibbeler. Hibbeler then doubled again in the sixth inning, scoring one of the two Riptide runs in the at bat on a Steve Curry (Georgia Southern) RBI-single, and Simpson's two-run pinch-hit triple highlighted a three-run ninth that closed out the scoring for Orange County. Robby Evans (St. Edwards) struck out four in three innings of work in relief of Riptide starter Jack Noble (Oregon), who pitched two innings, allowing four runs on four hits while striking out three. Tyler Frazier (Oregon) pitched the final four innings scoreless, allowing one hit, to close out the Riptide win. Riley Watkins (Shelton State) was the first of six pitchers utilized by the Catch, throwing two innings while striking out three and allowing two runs on two hits. Click here for recaps of this game
