Holdridge Leads Ocean View Team to Colt League World Series Title

David Holdridge knocked in two runs and scored twice to lead the Ocean View team of Huntington Beach to a 7-2 win over host Lafayette in Thursday’s championship game of the Colt League World Series.

Holdridge, also the starting pitcher, had three doubles in four at-bats, as every batter in the Ocean View starting lineup had at least one hit.

Both of Lafayette’s runs were unearned and the hosts failed to earn even a single hit.

Brent Knackert (1-0) picked up the win for Ocean View after relieving Holdridge in the second inning. Joe Walters (1-1) took the loss.

Taking third place in the double-elimination tournament for 15- and 16-year olds was Hoosier North, another Lafayette-area team, while fourth place went to Miami, Fla.
