FORCE HIT GRAND SLAM EN ROUTE TO 7-2 WIN OVER JAYS

By Milad Ghaemi

San Diego, Calif.

The San Diego Force won their second game of the 4th of July SDCCBL Tournament against the California Jays by a score of 7-2.  Ryan Losman (Southeast Missouri) was on the mound for the Force building off of his previous performance of 7 shutout innings against the Palm Springs Power. His performance against the Jays was a good follow up to Telarroja's on Friday. Losman would be the only pitcher for the Force going the full 9 innings and picking up his first win of the season and lowering his ERA to 0.43. The Force would have 7 hits and 8 walks again displaying their increased patience at the plate leading to another wonderful offensive game to back Losman. 

DH Drake Pierson went 2-4 with 4 RBI's and a run scored coming off of his Grand Slam breaking the game wide open for the Force. 

SP Ryan Losman has shown his strengths as a pitcher who gets most of his outs by way of the K using his 93-95 MPH Fastball to stifle hitters along with his crippling off-speed pitches. Losman, in know his second start, is proving his value as a Starter in the SCCBL with his two dominant starts and the lowest ERA in the league.

Offensively, Extra Hitter James Shimashita, 3B Josh Sidley, 2B David Huddleson, 1B Chris O'Neil, and LF Junior Coleman all provided the Force with crucial walks, base hits, and RBI's.

The Force will play their third game of the Tournament against the Thunder BBC on Sunday at 1:15 at Madison High School. You can find the full tournament schedule on our website and on the schedule tab.
