Evergreen Valley is hoping to do on Wednesday what Fremont couldn't on Saturday: put an end to Del Mar's winning streak, which now stands at five games. Del Mar never let Fremont onto the board and left with a 2-0 victory.
Not much got past Kyle McClements, who gave up just one hit and racked up seven Ks to keep Fremont off the board.
On the hitting side, Del Mar's win was truly a team effort as four different players contributed at least one hit. One of them was Lukas Nguyen, who scored a run and stole a base while going 2-for-3.

The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Wednesday as neither team is afraid to steal. Del Mar has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 2.7 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Evergreen Valley struggles in that department as they've been averaging 3.5. The only question left is which team can snag more.
Del Mar might still be hurting after the 11-0 loss they got from Evergreen Valley when the teams last played back in April of 2022. Thankfully for Del Mar, Joshua Garcia (who went 2-for-2 with four RBI, a triple, and a run) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? There's only one way to find out.
