A three-run homer by Gavin Kash was all the offense the Foresters needed to secure a 3-0 victory over the MLB Academy Barons on Friday night at Pershing Park.
Four Foresters pitchers, including Parker Smith, Alec Grossman, Ian Chruchill and Nick Proctor combined to shut out the Barons and keep Santa Barbara unbeaten at home.
“We didn’t have a lot of walks. Smith got into problems early in the game, but we didn’t have a lot of walks later and we got going,” said Foresters manager Bill Pintard. “I thought the bullpen was really good. We had been walking guys earlier and allowing teams to get free passes and we’re trying to do a better job with that and we did do a better job.”
