Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Kimberly). They were the clear victors by a 19-4 margin over the South Fremont Cougars on Saturday. The Bulldogs might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won five games by six runs or more this season.

Meanwhile, Bruning tossed 3.2 innings while giving up just one earned (and three unearned) runs off five hits. Kimberly is undefeated when Sabin allows one or fewer hits, but 3-4 otherwise. At the plate, Sabin scored two runs and stole a base while going 2-for-4, while Bruning scored four runs and stole a base while going 2-for-5. Bruning has been hot recently, having posted at least one stolen base the last four times he's played.
