Pace homers as the Santa Barbara Foresters win 9th straight game
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - Greg Pace homered as the Santa Barbara Foresters erased an early 3-0 deficit to edge the OC Riptide 4-3 and extend their winning streak to nine games.
The Michigan sophomore Pace hammered a 2-out fastball to left field for a 3-run game-tying home run in the second inning.
It is only the second home run of the season for the Foresters this summer.
UNLV infielder Gianni Horvat followed with a single, a stolen base and then scored on a single by Daniel Patterson of Westmont College.
The 4-run second inning proved to be just enough as pitching and defense dominated the final 7 innings.
The Foresters are now 11-3 on the year and will host Arroyo Seco on Friday 6pm at Pershing Park.
