With a playoff win on the line, Bishop Montgomery rose to the challenge on Thursday. Their pitcher stepped up to hand the West Covina Bulldogs an 8-0 shutout. The result was nothing new for the Knights, who have now won nine matchups by six runs or more so far this season.
West Covina's batters probably weren't too happy with Pierson Howe, who pitched a no hitter and racked up 11 Ks (he gave up a single walk). Howe has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't tossed less than six strikeouts any time he's pitched this season.
On the hitting side, Harrison Howe was excellent, getting on base in three of his four plate appearances with two stolen bases and one run. He has been hot recently, having posted at least one stolen base the last four times he's played. Another player making a difference was Matthew Orozco, who earned one RBI, one run, and one stolen base.
Bishop Montgomery is on a roll lately: they've won six of their last seven contests. That's provided a massive bump to their 18-11 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 9.4 runs over those games. As for West Covina, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 17-12.
Looking ahead, Bishop Montgomery will challenge Elsinore at 3:15 p.m. on Tuesday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (the Knights 3.7, the Tigers 3) so any runs scored will be well earned. West Covina does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
