San Diego Force Baseball

Ryan Hart

Lake Elsinore, CA

The Force were at Elsinore HS for a game against WBA Collegiate, a game intended to keep them fresh for the upcoming World Series in Wichita, Kansas. Frank Lopez was as sharp as sharp can be, and the hitters got plenty of at bats in a 16-2 route. Lopez threw 7 innings, no hits, no runs, and 10 strikeouts, looking dominant throughout the contest. 

The Force batted around in the first inning, putting up 7 runs thanks to a bomb by newly acquired Kory Brown. Brown finished the day with a team high 5 RBI and 2 HR, but 8 Force players also had at least 1 RBI, showcasing talent up and down the order. 

Nolan Darr joined the fun with a home run in the 6th, and Tanner Cable worked around a HBP in the 9th to strike out the side. The Force were in complete control from the first pitch, and if this is any indication of how they'll play at the World Series, we might be looking at another Championship run.
