Rancho Christian proved they can win big on Thursday (they won by 15) and on Monday they proved they can win the close ones too. They narrowly escaped with a win as the squad sidled past Hillcrest 8-6. The victory was familiar territory for the Eagles, who have now won three matchups in a row.
The team relied heavily on Sean Downs, who got on base in all four of his plate appearances with one home run, four RBI, and two runs. Spencer Horner also deserves some recognition as he hit his first triple of the season.
Meanwhile, Vista del Lago got the win against Perris on Thursday by a conclusive 9-2. Considering the Ravens have won six contests by more than five runs this season, Thursday's blowout was nothing new.
AJ Nevarez spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered only one earned (and one unearned) run on four hits and racked up 12 Ks. As a matter of fact, that's the most runs he has scored all season.

The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Tuesday as neither team is afraid to steal. Rancho Christian has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 3.2 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Vista del Lago struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 3.1 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
Rancho Christian took their victory against Vista del Lago when the teams last played on April 3rd by a conclusive 12-0 score.
