Soquel had to skate by with only a one-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the 12-run drubbing they dealt San Lorenzo Valley on Tuesday. The Knights never let the Cougars get on the board and left with a 12-0 victory. The Knights might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won seven matches by six runs or more this season.

Luke Shoemaker tossed a big game, keeping things locked down with no earned runs or hits while striking out six over five innings pitched. He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than two hits in six consecutive appearances.

At the plate, the team relied heavily on Enzo Goff, who scored two runs and stole three bases while going 3-for-3. Those three stolen bases gave him a new career-high. Cash Moran was another key player, going 2-for-4 with one triple, one stolen base, and one run.

Soquel kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 14 hits. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as San Lorenzo Valley only managed one hit.

Soquel pushed their record up to 15-1 with the win, which was their third straight at home. The home victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.3 runs on average over those games. As for San Lorenzo Valley, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost eight of their last nine contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 2-11 record this season.

San Lorenzo Valley will be playing in front of their home fans against Rancho San Juan at 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday. Soquel will be paying especially close attention to the Cougars' game: after the Cougars faces off against the Trailblazers, they'll take on Soquel again at 4:00 p.m. on Friday.
