Cornerstone Christian had to skate by with only a one-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the 17-run drubbing they dealt Perris on Monday. The Crusaders never let the Panthers get on the board and left with a 17-0 win. The result was nothing new for the Crusaders, who have now won 19 games by six runs or more so far this season.
Steel Hoham made a big impact no matter where he played. He looked comfortable on the mound, pitching two innings while giving up no earned runs or hits.

In other pitching news, Alec O'Sullivan looked comfortable as he tossed two innings while giving up no earned runs or hits. He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in 13 consecutive appearances.
Back at the plate, Lucas Gomez-Creguer was incredible, going 2-for-3 with two runs, two RBI, and one double. David Meinardus was another key player, going 1-for-3 with three RBI and one run.
Cornerstone Christian always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .636. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Perris only posted an OBP of .067.
