Phillips’ Strong Outing Enough for Saints Win, Barely

| June 19, 2017

June 19, 2017 Irvine,CA Zack Phillips (Grayson College) pitched seven innings of one-run ball, recording eight strikeouts along the way with only one walk, and the Arroyo Seco Saints withstood a ninth inning two-out rally to give him a 4-3 win over the Orange County Riptide today at Concordia University. Phillips was masterful today in never allowing the Riptide hitters to get anything going, recording four one-two-three innings, two innings facing four batters and one inning five. The one run he allowed was unearned and he notched at least one strikeout in six of his seven innings of work. Phillips exited the game leading 5-1, the Saints having scored once in the first as Bryan Smith (Occidental) led off the game with a ground rule double and scored on a single by Spencer Mossburg (Lee), three times in the third on RBI-at bats by Mossburg (double), a sacrifice fly by Blake Burton (Washington), and an RBI-single by Tyler Durna (UCSD), and scored their fifth run in the seventh as Mossburg once again drove in Smith. The Riptide, however, did not go quietly into the night. With two outs and nobody on, five consecutive batters reached base, four via a hit and one via an error. Connor Beck (Texas Tech) drove the first run in for Orange County in the ninth on a double, Tate Shaw (Texas) drove in the next two runs with a single, and when Beau Phillip (San Joaquin JC) followed Tate with a single of his own, the Riptide had the tying run ninety feet away. Arroyo Seco closer Josh Walker (Butler) got the out the Saints needed, however, a ground ball to the first baseman to close the game and earn the save. Click here for recaps of this game
