June 6, 2018 Compton, CA Mason McWhorter (Georgia Southern) hit a grand slam and a two-run home run in the top of the first inning to lead the Orange County Riptide to a 13-3 win over the Academy Barons tonight at the Urban Youth Academy. McWhorter's remarkable feat highlighted a ten-run outburst that saw the first eight Orange County batters reach base and score before an out was recorded. Brad Jeckich (Pacific) tripled in Austin Sojka (Ok Wesylan) with the first run of the game and scored when McWhorter followed with his first home run. Nine batters later, after a Shaq Robinson (Long Beach St) RBI-double, a pair of hit batters and two outs were recorded, McWhorter came up to bat again in the first inning with the bases loaded and hit his grand slam for a total of six RBI in the inning. He would add a seventh RBI with a two-out single in the seventh inning to score Josh Nicoloff (Columbia) who had singled. In all, the Riptide offense totaled 17 hits in the game and had five batters with two or more hits. Hayden Pearce (Pacific) started on the mound for Orange County and pitched four scoreless innings with three strikeouts to earn the win. The Barons, who totaled eleven hits in the game, were led by a three-hit game by Joshua Banuelos (Peru St) and Joseph Argumedo (Lynn), who doubled and singled.

Vitt's triple came on the heels of a double by Brandon Lewis (UC Irvine), a single by Bart West (USC) and a walk, and erased an early 2-1 lead San Luis Obispo had posted after one inning of play. Wright, who reached base all five times he came to the plate today (three singles, two walks), and West, who plated Wright with a double in the first inning to post the Oaks first run of the game, each finished with a game-high three hits. Five Conejo pitchers appeared in the game, highlighted by three scoreless innings by Eric Ma (Whitman College) who picked up the win in relief of starter Brandon Ponticelli (Kansas). Jay Charleston (Tennessee), who tripled for the second straight game, and Conagher Sands (Cal Poly) each had two hits to lead the Blues offense. Click here for recaps of this game
