Vacaville Christian won the last time they faced San Juan and things went their way on Thursday too. The Falcons blew past the Spartans 14-2. Considering the Falcons have won six contests by more than five runs this season, Thursday's blowout was nothing new.

Aron Kagin and Isaac Stanley made a splash no matter where they played. On the mound, Kagin tossed three innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off one hit. Meanwhile, Stanley tossed two innings while giving up no earned runs or hits. Kagin has been consistent : he hasn't given up more than two hits in six consecutive appearances. At bat, Kagin scored a run while getting on base in two of his four plate appearances, while Stanley scored two runs and stole a base while going 3-for-4. The dominant performance also gave Stanley a new career-high in doubles (two).

In other batting news, Aiden Stevens was incredible, scoring two runs and stealing a base while getting on base in all five of his plate appearances. He is becoming a predictor of Vacaville Christian's success: when he posts at least two runs the team is undefeated (and 2-4 when he doesn't). Dakari Carnell-Palmerton was another key player, scoring two runs while getting on base in all four of his plate appearances.

The win was the fifth in a row for Vacaville Christian, bringing their record up to 7-4. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 13.2 runs over those games. As for San Juan, they dropped their record down to 1-11 with the defeat, which was their fourth straight at home.

Both teams will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Vacaville Christian will face off against Mesa Verde at 4:00 p.m. on Friday. The Mavericks will roll in looking for their sixth straight win, something the Falcons surely won't give up without a fight. As for San Juan, they will challenge Woodland Christian at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The Cardinals' pitching crew has only allowed 3.2 runs per game this season, so the Spartans' hitters will have their work cut out for them.
