Bishop Kelly got themselves on the board against Emmett on Wednesday, but Emmett never followed suit. They were the clear victors by an 11-0 margin over the Huskies. Considering the Knights have won nine matchups by more than five runs this season, Wednesday's blowout was nothing new.

Zach Wright made a splash no matter where he played. He looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run and allowing only two hits while striking out seven over five innings pitched. He also tossed no earned runs, which is notable because Bishop Kelly is 3-1 when he allows at most one earned run, but 6-7 otherwise. Wright was also big at the plate, scoring a run and stealing a base while going 1-for-2.

In other batting news, Colin Brazil was incredible, scoring two runs and stealing two bases while going 2-for-3. Bishop Kelly is 6-1 when Brazil posts two or more runs, but 3-7 otherwise. Another player making a difference was Luca Quilici, who scored three runs and stole a base while getting on base in three of his four plate appearances.

Bishop Kelly's win was their fourth straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 9-8. The road victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 12.8 runs over those games. As for Emmett, their defeat dropped their record down to 2-11.

Both squads will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Bishop Kelly will venture away from home to square off against Nampa at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday. The Bulldogs have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 8.38 runs per game on average), something the Knights will no doubt try to take advantage of. As for Emmett, they will take on Vallivue at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday. The Falcons' pitching crew has only allowed 4.1 runs per game this season, so the Huskies' hitters will have their work cut out for them.
