It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but De La Salle had no problem doing just that on Tuesday. They put the hurt on the Foothill Falcons with a sharp 10-1 victory. The Spartans might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won 17 matchups by six runs or more this season.

Graham Schlicht spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered only one earned run on six hits and racked up six Ks.

At the plate, De La Salle got a massive performance out of Antonio Castro, who fired off two home runs and five RBI while going 2-for-4. Those two home runs gave Castro a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Tyler Spangler, who got on base in three of his four plate appearances with one home run and three runs.

They weren't the only ones working in the home run department: De La Salle lost a few balls and finished the game with three home runs. That's the most home runs they've managed all season.

De La Salle is on a roll lately: they've won 15 of their last 16 games. That's provided a nice bump to their 25-4 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 9.6 runs over those games. As for Foothill, their loss dropped their record down to 21-7.

As of now, neither De La Salle nor the Falcons have any future games scheduled.
