Liam Keithley’s seventh-inning RBI single vaulted Santa Barbara High baseball to a 3-2 win over Oxnard on the road on Tuesday.
The Yellow Jackets started the game strong, scoring once in each of the first two innings to grab an early 2-0 lead.
After a few scoreless frames, Jetner Welch roped a two-RBI single to tie the game up at two apiece.
The pitchers’ duel continued into the seventh inning, where Keithley’s heroics in the top of the seventh gave the Dons their first lead of the day.
Kaden Spencer then came in and shut the door to pick up the save and the win for his squad.
While Spencer closed it out, Eric Anthony got the start, allowing two unearned runs on three hits while striking out two batters over six innings.
Welch and Keithley dominated the offensive attack for the Dons, driving in all three runs while tallying two hits apiece.
Santa Barbara High will host Oxnard on Friday at Eddie Mathews Field.
