Sandia Prep always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .538. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.

Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask St. Michael's). They put the hurt on Bosque with a sharp 23-1 victory on Thursday. The Horsemen might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won five contests by six runs or more this season.

Chris Chavez and Lucas Stoll made a splash while hitting and pitching. On the mound, Chavez tossed two innings while giving up just one earned run off two hits. Meanwhile, Stoll struck out six batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs or hits (and not a single walk).

At the plate, Chavez got on base in three of his four plate appearances with four RBI and two runs, while Stoll scored a run while going 1-for-2.
