The Foresters were clicking on all cylinders in their home opener.
Santa Barbara third baseman Kevin Bazzell went three for five with two runs batted in, and starting pitcher Parker Smith struck out 10 in his four innings on the mound as the Foresters cruised to a 10-2 victory over Conejo Oaks.
“The defense was great tonight. The pitching was great tonight. The hitting was good,” said Foresters assistant coach Steve Schuck, who stepped in for manager Bill Pintard. “We took what was given to us. We had a lot of walks, but we took them. We didn’t go chasing.”
