Vallivue typically has all the answers at home, but on Tuesday Bishop Kelly proved too difficult a challenge. They blew past the Falcons 12-3. The result was nothing new for the Knights, who have now won 11 matchups by six runs or more so far this season.

Luca Quilici made a big impact no matter where he played. He looked comfortable on the mound, pitching six innings while giving up just two earned (and one unearned) runs off eight hits. He has been consistent: he hasn't given up more than one walk in five consecutive appearances. He was also big at the plate, going 1-for-3 with one triple, one run, and one RBI.

In other batting news, Bishop Kelly let Ayden Boyd and Zach Wright run wild. Boyd went 3-for-4 with three stolen bases, two runs, and one RBI, while Wright went 3-for-4 with two stolen bases, two RBI, and one run. Boyd is becoming a predictor of Bishop Kelly's success: when he posts at least two runs the team is undefeated (and 6-9 when he doesn't). Jaxson Brady was another key player, going 2-for-4 with three RBI, one triple, and one run.

Bishop Kelly is on a roll lately: they've won 11 of their last 13 games. That's provided a massive bump to their 12-9 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.3 runs on average over those games. As for Vallivue, with the loss, they broke their eight-game winning streak and moved their record to 21-2.

Coming up, Bishop Kelly will face off against Nampa at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday. Vallivue does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
