Max Belyeu went deep right after Lance's shot for back-to-back home runs.

The Foresters led 9-0 after two innings.

Lance finished with 2 home runs, 7 RBI, 4 runs scored and 3 hits.

The Foresters had 19 hits overall as they improved to 16-5 on the season and 13-5 in the CCL.

Same two teams will meet on Saturday in Compton.
