Winning streak to 4 - Lumberjacks 5, Pacifics 3


VALLEJO, CA - The Lumberjacks ownership group as been reshuffled and the team has gotten off to a nice 4-0 since being rebranded to the "Bay Cal Lumberjacks".  Saturday afternoon the Jacks were able to slow down the red-hot San Rafael Pacifics, snapping their 10-game winning streak with a 5-3 victory behind starter Marquis Pettis.

The Pacifics struck first in the top of the 1st as Lumberjacks-killer Price Kendall was hit by a pitch, advanced to 2nd on a wild pitch, stole third, and scored on a sacrifice fly by Johnny Woodard.  The Lumberjacks would respond with a 2-out 2-RBI double by the red-hot Steve Detwiler, giving the home team a 2-1 lead.

In the 3rd, Justin James would reach on a hit-by-pitch, stole second base, advanced to third on a ground-out by Andre White, and would come in to score on a sacrifice fly by Detwiler, who finished with 3 RBIs, giving the Lumberjacks a 3-1 advantage.

In the 5th Justin James would leg out an infield single to the pitcher then steal second base and eventually score on an RBI single by Mike Taylor, increasing the Lumberjacks advantage to 4-1.

After tacking on another run in the 8th to make it 5-1, the Pacifics would rally in the 9th off James LoPresti with a 2-out 2-run home run by Matt Quintero to make it 5-3, but Morgan Mickan would fly out to the shortstop, ending the game.

The Lumberjacks are back at it for a doubleheader vs the Pacifics on Sunday at 5pm at Wilson Park in Vallejo.
