The Foresters\u2019 quest for an historic fourth straight NBC World Series title fell one game short, as Santa Barbara lost in the 2023 championship game 6-3 to the Hutchinson Monarchs. The Foresters 10 national titles remain the most ever in the history of the 89-year-old tournament. This was the first loss in a championship game in Wichita for the \u2019Sters since 2005\u2014they had gone ten straight since then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Santa Barbara did get some good news when Zane Petty (below) was named both the tournament\u2019s top pitcher and best Major League prospect after he went 2-0 with 13 shutout innings of six-hit ball with 15 strikeouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
