Everything went their way against the Colton Wildcats as they made off with a 15-7 win. That's the second time they've managed to beat them this season, as they also won 11-0 on Friday.

DeSales pushed their record up to 12-1-1 with the victory, which was their fifth straight on the road dating back to last season. Those road wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 16.2 runs over those games. As for Colton, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost three of their last four matches. That's put a noticeable dent in their 2-4 record this season.
