Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Redding Christian). Everything went their way against the Chester Volcanoes on Tuesday as they made off with a 21-2 victory. The Lions might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won four matchups by eight runs or more this season.

Redding Christian is undefeated when Ogden posts two or more runs, but 3-5 otherwise.
