Lake Washington never let their opponents score on Saturday. They didn't even let the Auburn Trojans on the board, marking the Kangaroos' second-straight 11-0 shutout. The Kangaroos might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won six contests by seven runs or more this season.

Noah Kwon was incredible, going 2-for-3 with two runs, one triple, and one stolen base. He is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as he's now snagged at least one in each of the last four games he's played. Malachi Toungate was another key player, going a perfect 1-for-1 with two runs and one stolen base.

Lake Washington always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .529. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Auburn only posted an OBP of .318.

The victory (which was Lake Washington's third in a row) raised their record to 11-7. Those wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 0.3 runs on average over those games. As for Auburn, their loss was their ninth straight at home dating back to last season, which dropped their record down to 2-11.

Looking ahead, Lake Washington will venture away from home to challenge Mount Si at 6:30 p.m. on Monday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (the Kangaroos 2.9, the Wildcats 3.8) so any runs scored will be well earned. As for Auburn, they will look to defend their home field on Tuesday against Stadium at 7:00 p.m.
