Westmont was led to victory by Shaun Nishijima, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Tuesday. Nishijima turned in nothing short of a gem: he pitched two innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit (he also only allowed one walk). He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than two hits in four consecutive pitching appearances.
Nishijima's strong effort led Westmont over Santa Teresa and he'll get a chance to do so again: the teams have a rematch scheduled at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday. Nishijima has dominated as far as earned runs are concerned (he's averaged 0.2 per game this season), but he's got his work cut out for him considering Santa Teresa has only allowed 3.38 per game this season.
