July 11, 2017 (*Recaps over the next few days will be more abridged than usual as the CCL public information service prepares for and deals with the CCL all-star game. -PB) Compton, CA The Academy Barons collected five two-out hits, including a three-run home run by Hunter Allen (Alabama St), to score six runs in the fifth inning and take command of the game, going on to beat the Southern California Catch 11-9 today at the MLB Youth Academy. Denzl Chapman (San Diego St), Dailin Lee (UC Irvine) and Randy Rubio (Marymount-NAIA) all had two-out singles in front of Allen, and Joe Argumedo (Lynn) had one behind him to generate the six runs. Rubio, who hit a two-run homer in the first inning to open the scoring for the Barons, also doubled in the game to finish with a game-high three hits and scored three runs. Omar Ortiz (Pacific) also had three hits in the game for the Catch, including a bases-clearing three-run double in the seventh inning. The Catch, who scored once in the sixth on a solo home run by Mitchell Bumann (Hawaii-Pacific) and once in the eighth on an RBI-single by Anthony Seminaris (Arkansas-Ft Smith), got within striking distance and managed to load the bases in the ninth inning, but Joseph Mercado (Dominguez Hills) came into pitch for the Barons when the tying runs got aboard and recorded the final two outs to close out the win.

Theron Kay (Cal St Northridge) started on the mound for Conejo, recording six strikeouts in three and a third innings, but gave up three runs early to Long Beach on an RBI-single by Trevor Steinman (Chico St) in the first inning and two runs, both reaching base by way of walks, on RBI-singles by Robert Barham (Long Beach CC) and Michael Stefanic (Westmont).
