Jake Robbins made a splash no matter where he played. He looked comfortable on the mound, striking out seven batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit. That's the most strikeouts he has posted since back in March of 2024. He was also solid in the batter's box, scoring a run while going 1-for-3.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Bo Osland, who went a perfect 2-for-2 with two triples, four RBI, and two runs. Those two triples gave him a new career-high. Diego Matsumoto was another key player, scoring four runs and stealing a base while getting on base in all five of his plate appearances.
Clairemont always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .579. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Castle Park only posted an OBP of .263.
Meanwhile, Hilltop had to endure a four-game losing streak dating back to last season, but that streak is no more. They came out on top in a nail-biter against San Marcos on Saturday, sneaking past 1-0.
Clairemont beat Hilltop 10-6 when the teams last played back in April of 2018. Will Clairemont repeat their success, or does Hilltop have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
