- Live Oak’s late-inning woes continued in a 7-4 loss at Mount Pleasant on Friday.
The Acorns overcame a 2-0 deficit with two runs in the third and fifth innings, only to watch the Cardinals score five runs in the sixth to sweep the Santa Teresa Division series.
John Forestieri went 2 for 3 with a double and collected his fourth RBI of the season, and Jakob Conlan singled twice for Live Oak (2-8, 0-6), which will try to snap a seven-game slide Wednesday at Silver Creek. Forestieri, a junior, upped his batting average to .370.
Acorns starter Mitch Hickey (1-2) struck out four and was credited with five earned runs on as many hits.
