An early 3-0 deficit was just a speed bump for the Santa Barbara Foresters on Thursday evening in a 14-3 result that saw the Foresters score the last 14 unanswered against the visiting Southern California Halos.

The Halos scored three times in the top half of the first inning and the 3-0 lead held until the bottom of the second.
