O’Reilly’s 3RBI and Solid Pitching Lead Long Beach

| June 17, 2017

June 17, 2017 Long Beach, CA Richie O'Reilly (Georgetown) had three hits and as many RBI, and Scott Savage (Masters) threw six shutout innings to lead the Long Beach Legends to a 4-2 victory over the Southern California Catch today at Long Beach City College. O'Reilly, doubled and scored the game's first run in the third inning, drove in a run on an RBI-single in the sixth and doubled home a run in the eighth, more than enough run production for the Long Beach pitching staff. Besides Savage's six scoreless, Kyle Alcorn (Hawaii-Hilo), Charles Carr (Grinnell) and Cole Leaf (UCLA), each pitched one inning and, for the exception of allowing a ninth inning run-scoring triple by Evan Sandmann (Dallas Baptist) and an RBI-groundout, were blemish free throughout the game. Grant Gamble (Azusa Pacific), Trevor Steinman (Chico St) and Ryan Davis (Georgetown) each had two hits for the Legends. Grant Robbins (UNLV) had two hits for the Catch.

Elsewhere in the CCL today: Compton, CA Christian Jones (Washington) hit a bases-loaded, three RBI double in what was the big hit in a seven run second inning for the Ventura Halos today, but it took a ninth inning RBI double by Nic Lacayo (Michigan St) to score Jake Peters (Southwest Baptist) with the game winner as Ventura beat the Academy Barons 11-10 at the MLB Urban Youth Academy. The Halos seven-run second inning, eclipsed the three-run, three home run first inning the Barons had posted. Three of the Barons' first four hitters in the game homered, starting with leadoff hitter Javier Garcia (Compton JC) and, one out later, back-to-back home runs by Randy Rubio (Marymount) and Garrett Ouellete. In fact, after Jones hit a solo home run of his own in the top of the sixth inning, the 8-3 lead for the Halos evaporated in the bottom of half of the inning as Ouellette cleared a bases-loaded situation with a triple that gave the Barons a 10-8 lead. The Halos evened the score in the seventh on an RBI-triple by Chris McKee (Ventura JC), who soon scored on a wild pitch, to set up Lacayo's game winner in the ninth. Jones' three hits and four RBI, and Dayton Provost's three hits led the Halos. Ouellete's four RBI, Garcia's three hits and three runs, and Rubio's three hits and three RBI led the Barons. Aaron Solo (Marymount) had four strikeouts in three innings of relief for the Academy. Click here for recaps of this game. Pasadena, CA The Orange County Riptide scored seven times in the their last three at bats and three Riptide pitchers posted solid outings as Orange County beat the Arroyo Seco Saints 9-2 today at Jackie Robinson Stadium for their fifth win in a row. The Riptide's Dominic Fletcher (Arkansas) and the Saints' Brendan Krob (Evansville) hit solo home runs early, and each team scored once in the fourth inning, before Orange County scored three times each in the seventh and eighth, once in the ninth, to win going away. Late inning substitute Tate Shaw (Texas) had the big hits, notching three RBI on two singles, and Mitch Andrews' (Lamar) RBI-double and two singles, highlighted the Orange County attack. On the mound Hayden Shenefield, Timothy Holdgrafer and Will Tomlinson (Brown) combined for ten strikeouts while scattering five hits. Kyle Merkel (San Diego St) started on the mound for Arroyo Seco and recorded five strikeouts in four innings, but did not figure in the decision. Click here for recaps of this game. Auburn, CA The Auburn Wildcats capitalized on eight doubles by seven different hitters to post a 9-6 victory over the Walnut Creek Crawdads tonight at James Field. Adam Moreau (Dayton) hit two of the doubles and finished with a game-high four hits to lead Auburn's hitters, all nine of which had at least one hit, and together totaled 15 in the game. Anthony DeSantis (Kansas) and Gaige Howard (Kenyon) each had a double and two RBI to also highlight the Auburn attack. Alex Baeza (Hawaii) had a pair of doubles and scored twice, and Matt Poulin hit one double and drove in two to lead Walnut Creek. Click here for recaps of this game.
