Valley Christian had already won three in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 6 runs) and they went ahead and made it four on Saturday. They narrowly escaped with a win as the team sidled past the Folsom Bulldogs 3-1. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest victory the Warriors have posted since March 25th.

Forest Zelmer looked comfortable as he tossed one inning while giving up no earned runs or hits. He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than one walk in six consecutive appearances.

On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Hunter Fujimoto, who went 1-for-2 with two runs and one stolen base. He has been hot recently, having posted at least one stolen base the last four times he's played.

Valley Christian pushed their record up to 17-4-1 with the win, which was their fourth straight at home. Those home victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 0.5 runs on average over those games. As for Folsom, they are on a four-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 8-18.

Coming up, Valley Christian will venture away from home to take on Archbishop Riordan at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday. As for Folsom, they will host Del Oro at 4:30 p.m. on Monday. The Golden Eagles' pitching crew has only allowed 3.5 runs per game this season, so the Bulldogs' hitters will have their work cut out for them.
