Box Score

Canyon pitching limits Matadors to six hits

PHOENIX-Ronnie Holtorf (Phoenix/Moon Valley HS) went 2 for 4 with a homer and four RBIs, leading Grand Canyon to a 6-1 victory over Cal State Northridge as part of the Oakland A's/Rawlings Spring Training Tournament at Brazell Stadium on Thursday.

Canyon's Matt Silcock (Phoenix/Mountain Pointe HS) pitched six innings, scattering five hits, striking out three and walking one. Silcock improved to 2-1 on the season.

With the game scoreless in the fourth, the Antelopes (9-3) rallied for three runs, all coming on Holtorf's two-out home run, his third of the season.

That would be all that Silcock and the Canyon staff would need. Dale McMillan (Shingle Springs, CA/Ponderosa HS) and Richard Cook (Reno, NV/Galena HS) provided effective relief to preserve the win.

Jose Vasquez (2-3) was tagged with the loss for Northridge, which fell to 9-7 overall. The lone Matador run came on a solo homer by Marco Estrada with two outs in the fifth.

Both teams are back in action in the tournament tomorrow, with Northridge playing Northwestern (IL) at Phoenix Municipal Stadium at 10 a.m. and Canyon hosting Northern Iowa at 2 p.m.
