Sammamish won the last time they faced Foster and things went their way on Friday too. The RedHawks put the hurt on the Bulldogs with a sharp 21-4 victory. The result was nothing new for the RedHawks, who have now won seven games by six runs or more so far this season.

Kolin Jaster made a splash no matter where he played. He struck out six batters over two innings while giving up no earned runs or hits (and only one walk). Jaster was even better at the plate, getting on base in three of his four plate appearances with one home run, three stolen bases, and three runs. The dominant performance also gave him a new career-high in RBI (four).

In other pitching news, Josh Perez looked comfortable as he struck out six batters over two innings while giving up no earned runs or hits (and not a single walk). He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than one hit in three consecutive appearances.

Back at the plate, Sammamish got a big performance out of Lincoln Castillo, who went a perfect 1-for-1 with two runs, one stolen base, and two RBI. Those two RBI gave Castillo a new career-high. Reid Baum was another key player, going a perfect 2-for-2 with three RBI and one double.

Sammamish always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .590. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Foster only posted an OBP of .273.

Sammamish has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won seven of their last eight matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 13-2 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 8.5 runs over those games. As for Foster, they are on a 14-game losing streak (dating back to last season) that has dropped them down to 0-13.

We've got plenty of inter-district action coming up soon. Sammamish is set to challenge their familiar foe Cedarcrest at 7:00 p.m. on Monday. Both teams are headed into the matchup with plenty of momentum (the RedHawks have won five straight at home, while the Red Wolves won five straight on the road), something that'll have to change. Meanwhile, Foster will square off against rival Renton at 3:30 p.m. on Monday.
