Bishop had to skate by with only a two-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the 11-run drubbing they dealt Chula Vista on Wednesday. The Knights' pitcher stepped up to hand the Spartans an 11-0 shutout. The Knights might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won four games by six runs or more this season.
Not much got past Clay Peckham, who gave up just four hits to keep Chula Vista off the board.
At the plate, Bishop's let Kyle Rippel and Dane Larson run wild. Rippel scored two runs while going 3-for-3, while Larson scored three runs while going 2-for-3. That's the most runs Rippel has posted since back in March. Jackson Binn also deserves some recognition as he hit his first triple of the season.
Bishop's was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .412. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Chula Vista only posted a batting average of .200.
