It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Foresthill had no problem doing just that on Tuesday. They were the clear victors by a 23-4 margin over the Stockton Christian Eagles. Winning may never get old, but the Wildfires sure are getting used to it with their seventh in a row.

Eli Selvester was a major factor while hitting and pitching. On the mound, he tossed two innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit. Foresthill is undefeated when Selvester allows one or fewer hits, but 6-7 otherwise. Selvester was even better at the plate, going a perfect 4-for-4 with three stolen bases, four runs, and three RBI. That's the most runs he has posted since back in March.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Hunter Byrum, who got on base in all five of his plate appearances with one home run, four runs, and four RBI. With that strong performance, he is now averaging an impressive 2.1 runs per game. Another player making a difference was David Silveira, who went a perfect 2-for-2 with two runs, one triple, and one stolen base.

Foresthill always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .610. That was just more of the same: they've now posted an OBP of .531 or higher in three consecutive games.

Foresthill's win was their fourth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 10-7. Those home victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 16.8 runs over those games. As for Stockton Christian, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 2-11.

Coming up, Foresthill will host Vacaville Christian at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday. The Wildfires' pitchers better be ready for this one: the Falcons have averaged an impressive 8.4 runs per game this season. Stockton Christian does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
