Lake Washington had to skate by with only a one-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the ten-run drubbing they dealt Kamiak on Saturday. The Kangaroos blew past the Knights 11-1. Considering the Kangaroos have won nine matchups by more than six runs this season, Saturday's blowout was nothing new.

Shane Johnson tossed a big game, striking out seven batters over five innings while giving up just one earned run off three hits (and only one walk). He has been consistent: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in seven consecutive appearances.

At the plate, Lake Washington let Boden Reeve and Kane Nishikawa run wild. Reeve went a perfect 3-for-3 with three RBI and one triple, while Nishikawa earned two RBI and four stolen bases. Those three RBI gave Reeve a new career-high. Logan Schuster was another key player, going 1-for-2 with two runs and one stolen base.

Lake Washington was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .421. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Kamiak only posted a batting average of .167.

Lake Washington is on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 16-10 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.6 runs on average over those games. As for Kamiak, they have been struggling recently as they've lost four of their last five games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 14-8 record this season.

As of now, neither Lake Washington nor Kamiak have any future games scheduled.
