The home team had won the previous three meetings between San Marcos and Bonita Vista, and San Marcos kept the tradition alive. The Knights walked away with a 5-2 win over the Barons on Friday. This was payback for the Knights, who suffered an 8-2 loss the last time these two teams met.

Charlotte Shelton looked comfortable as she tossed four innings while giving up just one earned run off four hits. She has been consistent for a while: she hasn't given up more than two walks in ten consecutive appearances.

At the plate, San Marcos' victory was truly a team effort as six different players contributed at least one hit. One of them was Emily Lew, who scored a run and stole a base while going 2-for-3. Vai Escamilla was another, going a perfect 1-for-1 with one stolen base and one RBI.

San Marcos hit smart and finished the game with only one strikeout. They are 6-2 when they post two or more strikeouts.

San Marcos has been performing well recently as they've won nine of their last 12 matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 10-7 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 6.5 runs over those games. As for Bonita Vista, they moved to 12-3 with that defeat, which also ended their five-game winning streak.

San Marcos and Bonita Vista should be looking forward to their upcoming games as both have a sizable advantage in the MaxPreps California Rankings.
