Another player making a difference was Landon Hardcastle, who went 3-for-5 with three RBI, two runs, and one triple.
Sandia Prep always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .548. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Bosque only posted an OBP of .286.
