As for De La Salle, they have been performing well recently as they've won three of their last four matches. That's provided a massive bump to their 9-21 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.3 runs on average over those games.
On De La Salle's side, Beckett Hulten spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered only one earned (and one unearned) run on five hits. Hulten also tossed a walk, which is notable because the Meteors are 2-1 when he allows at most one walk, but 7-20 otherwise.
