St. Helena had to skate by with only a one-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the 11-run drubbing they dealt Upper Lake on Tuesday. The Saints never let the Cougars get on the board and left with an 11-0 victory. The Saints might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won eight games by six runs or more this season.
Cole Joy was a major factor no matter where he played. He didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit while striking out seven over five innings pitched.

He was also big at the plate, going 1-for-3 with two runs, one triple, and one stolen base. The dominant performance also gave him a new career-high in RBI (two).
In other batting news, Charlie Blaum was incredible, going a perfect 2-for-2 with two runs, one stolen base, and two RBI. Another player making a difference was Sam Beck, who got on base in three of his four plate appearances with two runs, one stolen base, and one RBI.
