King's Way Christian won the last time they faced Fort Vancouver and things went their way on Tuesday too. The Knights blew past the Trappers 23-1. The Knights might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won nine contests by ten runs or more this season.

Derek Tarnoski made a big impact while hitting and pitching. He struck out ten batters over five innings while giving up just one earned run off one hit (and not a single walk). He has been consistent: he hasn't given up more than two walks in eight consecutive appearances. He was also big at the plate, getting on base in four of his five plate appearances with three runs, four RBI, and one double. Those four RBI gave him a new career-high.

In other batting news, Sam Somarakis was a standout: he went a perfect 2-for-2 with three RBI, two runs, and one triple. Tate Douglas also deserves some recognition as he got his first hit of the season.

King's Way Christian always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .700. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Fort Vancouver only posted an OBP of .062.

King's Way Christian has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won nine of their last ten matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 13-4 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.2 runs on average over those games. As for Fort Vancouver, their loss was their fourth straight on the road, which dropped their record down to 5-10.

King's Way Christian will have a chance to go back-to-back against the Trappers: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday.
