It may have taken nine innings to finish the job, but Soquel ultimately got the result they hoped for on Saturday. They came out on top against the Leland Chargers by a score of 7-4. The win was just business as usual for the Knights, who after ten games remain undefeated this season.

Soquel got a great performance from Dylan Hull as he didn't allow a single earned run while striking out six over five innings pitched.

At the plate, Soquel's victory was truly a team effort as seven different players contributed at least one hit. One of them was Jake Escalante, who scored a run and stole a base while going 3-for-4. The dominant performance also gave Escalante a new career-high in doubles (two). Sam Whelan also deserves some recognition as he hit his first double of the season.

Soquel's win was their sixth straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 10-0. A key ingredient in that success has been their performance when it comes to strikeouts: they averaged an imposing 7.67 strikeouts in those games compared to only 3.5 in the others. As for Leland, they are on a five-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 3-5.

Looking ahead, Soquel will take on Santa Cruz at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Santa Cruz's pitching crew has only allowed 2.2 runs per game this season, so Soquel's hitters will have their work cut out for them. As for Leland, they will square off against Christopher at 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday.
