Coming off a rare two-game losing streak the Foresters got back to their winning ways with a 12-7 victory over the Ventura Pirates on Wednesday.

The offensive explosion was a welcome sight for the Foresters as they were held to one run in each of the past two games. Rocco Garza-Gongora was one of many standouts at the plate for Santa Barbara as he finished with two hits and four runs batted in, including a bases clearing double in the bottom of the first inning that broke the game open.

“It’s a big win for us after two losses,” Garza-Gongora said. “It was just good to bounce back, find ourselves, find our hitting, find our pitching and eventually it will lead us to success later on.”
