Force Take Second to Finish Out Their Summer

Cassidy Thornburg | July 20, 2019

Palm Springs, Ca- The San Diego Force lost the second game to the Palm Springs Power to lose the Championship Series, 2-0, but hey, it's been a good summer!

The game started out quickly with both teams having three up, three down. From there, the Force lost momentum while the Power only gained it with time. Against starting pitcher, Cameron Dean (Rockhurst), the Power scored four, three earned while, the Power’s starting pitcher Jake Dahle (Utah) pitched scoreless through five. Already with the lead, the Power took advantage of three walks in a row, which put them up seven runs (7-0) going into the top of the sixth. 

In the top, the Force pieced something together when a Will Stroud (Azusa Pacific) single scored Ryan Williams (Cal Baptist) to get the first run on the board for the Force. Unfortunately, it was not only the first run, but also the last. With no more runs to follow, the Force dropped the game 8-1 to the Power, allowing the ninth SCCBL title to slip through their fingers. 

After the Force took second in the Championship Series, and a long summer of traveling, eating subway sandwiches, hanging out in the dugout, practicing at Madison, and oh yeah, playing ball, the San Diego Force would like to thank their fans, all those who came out to support the team, and those who have followed the team from afar this season. Thank you for your support!
