Orland won the last time they faced Willows and things went their way on Wednesday too. The Trojans walked away with a 5-1 win over the Honkers. The game was the first time the Trojans have beaten the Honkers on their field since March 18, 2015.
Luke Schager made a splash no matter where he played. He didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only two hits while striking out 18 over six innings pitched. He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in six consecutive appearances. He was also big at the plate, scoring two runs while going 1-for-3.
Schager wasn't the only one making solid contact as two players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Victor Guerrero, who went 1-for-4 with one stolen base. Grayson Ovitz also deserves some recognition as he snagged his first stolen base of the season.
