Those four hits gave Rost a new career-high. Another player making a difference was George Schmitt, who got on base in three of his five plate appearances with four RBI and one double.

Foothill kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 12 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least 11 hits in three consecutive contests.

Foothill has been performing well recently as they've won five of their last six games. That's provided a nice bump to their 18-5 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 9.3 runs over those games. As for Amador Valley, they are on a three-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 13-10.
