The final game of the season had the Force at Mt. Miguel HS with a rematch against Dove Tail whom the Force defeated earlier this season 3-2. Yesterday's game however had quite a different feel to it. In the final tune up before the team heads to Wichita for the World Series, Outfielder Baker Springston was called upon give the pitching staff a rest. He pitched 2 solid innings, without much help from his defense, and the Force fell down early 4-2 after 2 innings. 

The Force bats didn't stay quiet long, and a 5th inning rally capped by a Don Roethler RBI double tied things up at 5. The Force would never look back, scoring another 11 unanswered runs to pound Dove Tail 16-5. Catcher CJ Stubbs hit a 3 run home run, and Phillip Steering added a 2 run shot in the 9th. The Force head into Wichita on a 3 game win streak, including a SCCBL Championship. The bats are hot, the arms are hotter, and everyone is healthy, all good signs leading up to the World Series.
