Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask San Marcos). Everything went their way against the Poway Titans on Wednesday as they made off with a 17-1 win. The victory continues a trend for the Knights in their matchups with the Titans: they've now won three in a row.
San Marcos got a great performance from Brody Layne as he struck out seven batters over six innings while giving up just one earned run off seven hits (and not a single walk). That's the most strikeouts Layne has posted since back in March.
At the plate, Max Farrell was a standout: he got on base in three of his five plate appearances with one home run, three runs, and four RBI. That's the most RBI he has posted since back in April of 2024. Another player making a difference was Colton Walker, who went 2-for-4 with one home run, three RBI, and two runs.
San Marcos pushed their record up to 11-3-1 with the win, which was their fourth straight on the road. Those road victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 8.3 runs over those games. As for Poway, they have been struggling recently as they've lost five of their last six matchups. That's put a noticeable dent in their 5-11 record this season.
