St. Mary had to skate by with only a one-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the 19-run drubbing they dealt Coronado on Tuesday. The St. Mary's Knights never let the Coronado Dons get on the board and left with a 19-0 win. That 19 run margin sets a new team best for the Knights this season.
The team relied heavily on Luis Mejia, who scored four runs and stole a base while going 4-for-4. Those four runs gave him a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Zach Tanner, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with four RBI, one triple, and one stolen base.
St. Mary's always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .615. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Coronado only posted an OBP of .083.
