Bishop Kelly lost a heartbreaker the last time they played Skyview, but it's fair to say they got their revenge given the result of Wednesday's match. The Knights put the hurt on the Hawks with a sharp 10-4 victory on Wednesday. Considering the Knights have won six contests by more than five runs this season, Wednesday's blowout was nothing new.

Luca Quilici was a major factor no matter where he played. He struck out six batters over 5.2 innings while giving up just two earned (and one unearned) runs off five hits (and only one walk).

Quilici was also solid in the batter's box, scoring two runs and stealing a base while going 2-for-4.

In other batting news, Bishop Kelly got a massive performance out of Lucas Blaine, who scored three runs and stole a base while going 3-for-4. Those three runs gave Blaine a new career-high. Cole Keck was another key player, scoring a run while going 2-for-4.
