Bonneville came out on top against Hillcrest on Friday thanks in part to the team's impressive eight-run fifth inning. The Bees were the clear victors by an 11-1 margin over the Knights. Considering the Bees have won 14 matches by more than seven runs this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.

Jackson Ropp tossed a big game, striking out eight batters over five innings while giving up just one earned run off three hits. He has been consistent: he hasn't given up more than two walks in seven consecutive appearances.

At the plate, Bonneville let Gavin Webb and Carter Bowen run wild. Webb went 1-for-2 with three RBI, two runs, and one double, while Bowen got on base in three of his four plate appearances with three runs, one stolen base, and one double. That's the most runs Bowen has posted since back in March. Another player making a difference was Taye Lords, who went 1-for-3 with two stolen bases, one run, and one double.

Bonneville always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .562. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Hillcrest only posted an OBP of .263.

The win (which was Bonneville's fourth in a row) raised their record to 20-3. The victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.0 runs on average over those games. As for Hillcrest, they have been struggling recently as they've lost five of their last six games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 7-14 record this season.

As of now, neither Bonneville nor Hillcrest have any future games scheduled.
