Mission Vista scored the most runs they've had all season to find success on Tuesday. Their pitcher stepped up to hand the Hilltop Lancers an 11-0 shutout. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the team's high-flying offense, the game also marked the team's biggest victory of the season.
Fernando Cabrera spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered just zero earned runs on two hits and racked up nine Ks. Those nine strikeouts set a new season-high mark for him.
At the plate, the team relied heavily on Rowan Cooke, who went 3-for-4 with a home run, three RBI, and two runs. The team also got some help courtesy of Bodie Wagner, who scored three runs while going 2-for-3.
