Foothill proved they can win big on Monday (they won by 13) and on Thursday they proved they can win the close ones too.

This was a revenge game for the Knights: when they faced off against the Wildcats back in April, they had to take a 10-9 loss.
Capri Gallego spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered three runs (all of which were unearned) on six hits and racked up six Ks. She has been consistent: she hasn't given up more than two walks in five consecutive appearances.
