Ryan Hart

The Force traveled to Lake Elsinore for a game against WBA Collegiate, and didn’t waste any time scoring runs. A 5 run first inning was capped off by a Ryan Williams 2 run homer, and the Force would stay in control from that point on. Max Holtzclaw threw a solid 5 innings, surrendering just 2 runs, while striking out 2. Amidst all the great Force starting pitching this year, Holtzclaw has held is own while boasting an excellent 2.84 ERA.

Phillip Steering got in on the action with his first home run as a member of the Force, hitting a two run no-doubter in the 5^th inning. The Force tacked on 5 additional runs in the 9^th inning to put away an already high scoring game, 14-5. San Diego is certainly happy to have Don Roethler back in the lineup, as he went 4-5 with a walk and a stolen base. The Force await the California Jays on Friday at Madison High School.
