In other batting news, Sydney Vail was incredible, going 4-for-5 with two stolen bases, three runs, and three doubles. Those three doubles gave her a new career-high. Meeya Abaoag was another key player, going 3-for-4 with three runs and three RBI.

San Jacinto Valley Academy kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 16 hits. That's a new trend for them: they were averaging 5.2 hits per game earlier this season, but in their last 15 games they've averaged 10.4.

San Jacinto Valley Academy is on a roll lately: they've won nine of their last ten contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 13-8 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 4.0 runs on average over those games. As for Nuview Bridge, their loss dropped their record down to 10-7-1.

Coming up, San Jacinto Valley Academy will head out on the road to challenge Desert Christian Academy at 3:40 p.m. on Tuesday.

As for Nuview Bridge, they will face off against Hamilton at 3:30 p.m. on Wednesday. The Bobcats will roll in looking for their tenth straight victory, something the Knights surely won't give up without a fight.
