While Burroughs put up plenty of runs on Saturday, the same can't be said for Knight. The Burroughs Burros were the clear victor by a 12-0 margin over the Knight Hawks. The victory continues a trend for the Burros in their matchups with the Hawks: they've now won six in a row.

Joaquin Vasquez was a major factor no matter where he played. He didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only two hits over four innings pitched. Vasquez was also stellar in the batter's box, scoring three runs and stealing two bases while getting on base in all four of his plate appearances. That's the most stolen bases he has posted since back in March of 2024.

Vasquez wasn't the only one making solid contact as five players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Colby Bachman, who scored two runs and stole two bases while going 2-for-3. Those two stolen bases gave Bachman a new career-high. Another was Kanon Schiller, who scored a run while going 1-for-4.

Burroughs always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .531. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Knight only posted an OBP of .222.

Burroughs pushed their record up to 3-0 with the win, which was their third straight on the road. They've dominated over that stretch too, winning by an average of 11 runs. As for Knight, they are on a seven-game losing streak (dating back to last season) that has dropped them down to 0-5.

Both teams will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Burroughs will face off against Academy of Careers & Exploration at 3:00 p.m. on Wednesday. Burroughs knows how to get runs on the board -- the squad has finished with ten runs or more in their past three matchups -- so hopefully Academy of Careers & Exploration likes a good challenge. Knight will have a little extra prep time after the defeat as they won't be playing again for a while. They'll take on Desert Christian at 3:15 p.m. on March 4th.
