July 24, 2017 Thousand Oaks, CA The Santa Barbara Foresters scored four runs by batters who reached base without the benefit of a hit to spoil the first opportunity the Conejo Oaks had to clinch the last spot in the CCL playoffs, beating the Oaks 4-2 today at Sparky Anderson Field. Two of the batters who scored reached base on a walk, one by being hit by a pitch and the fourth by reaching on an error. Zach Humphreys (TCU) drove in two of the runs with an RBI-single in the third inning and a run-producing ground out in the fifth. Chandler Bengston (Columbia) drove in what proved to be the game-winner with a two-out single in the sixth inning and the last Foresters run scored in the ninth inning when Spencer Steer (Oregon) walked with two outs, advanced to second on Josh Jung (Texas Tech) single, advanced to third on a Luke Ritter (Wichita St) single and scored on a balk. The Oaks, who never had the lead in the game, scored once in the third inning when Sam Shaikin (Valparaiso) led off with a single and scored on a two-out RBI-single by DJ Miller (Ole Miss), and once in the eighth after Chase Cockrell (Ole Miss), Grant Mayeaux (San Diego St) and Juan Gonzalez (Oklahoma Baptist) hit three consecutive singles to start the inning, loading the bases with no outs. Codi Santana (Hawaii-Pacific) then hit into a double-play that scored Cockrell but also cut short a potential big inning. Santa Barbara used five pitchers in the game, the Oaks six. Ty Weist (Columbia) picked up the win with a five-inning start, allowing one run on five hits and striking out five. Theron Kay (Northridge) started on the mound for Conejo, throwing five innings, allowing three runs on only two hits and striking out four to suffer the loss. Conejo, which has a half-game lead on the San Luis Obispo Blues for the fourth and final spot in the CCL playoffs set to start Friday at the MLB Youth Academy in Compton, have one game left in San Luis Obispo against the Blues on Wednesday. The Blues, have three games remaining and must win all three to advance to the playoffs. Click here for recaps of this game
