Folsom had to skate by with only a one-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the ten-run drubbing they dealt Yuba City on Wednesday. The Bulldogs were the clear victors by an 11-1 margin over the Honkers. This was a revenge game for the Bulldogs: when they faced off against the Honkers back in March, they had to take a 6-5 defeat.
Luke Williams was a major factor no matter where he played. On the mound, he didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit while striking out seven over five innings pitched. Folsom is 2-1 when Williams allows two or fewer hits, but 6-13 otherwise. Williams was also solid in the batter's box, scoring a run while going 2-for-2.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Logan Hutton, who scored two runs while going 2-for-3. He is becoming a predictor of Folsom's success: when he posts at least two runs the team is 2-1 (and 6-13 when he doesn't). Gavin Tietz was another key player, scoring three runs and stealing a base while getting on base in three of his four plate appearances.
