After only two runs in their last matchup, Woodland made sure to put some runs up on the board against Cordova on Wednesday. The Wolves blew past the Lancers 10-3. Considering the Wolves have won ten games by more than five runs this season, Wednesday's blowout was nothing new.

Riley Salvemini made a splash while hitting and pitching. He didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only two hits while striking out six over five innings pitched. He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than two hits in three consecutive appearances. He was also big at the plate, scoring two runs and stealing two bases while getting on base in four of his five plate appearances.

In other batting news, Joseph Cadotte was a standout: he scored two runs and stole two bases while getting on base in two of his four plate appearances. He is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as he's now snagged two or more in each of the last four games he's played. Another player making a difference was JoJo Quezada, who scored a run and stole a base while going 2-for-3.

Woodland is on a roll lately: they've won 15 of their last 17 contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 16-7 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.9 runs on average over those games. As for Cordova, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 11-10-1.

Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Woodland will face off against Destiny Christian Academy at 4:15 p.m. on Monday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (the Wolves 4, the Lions 3.7) so any runs scored will be well earned. As for Cordova, they will square off against McClatchy at 4:00 p.m. on Monday. The Lancers' pitchers better be ready for this one: the Lions have averaged an impressive 6.3 runs per game this season.
