King's Way Christian waltzed into their matchup on Thursday with two straight wins... but they left with three. They put the hurt on the Columbia Bruins with a sharp 12-1 win. The Knights might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won five contests by ten runs or more this season.
Derek Tarnoski was a major factor while hitting and pitching. He struck out seven batters over five innings while giving up just one earned run off four hits (and only one walk). He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than two walks in five consecutive appearances. He was also big at the plate, scoring a run and stealing a base while going 1-for-3.
