West Campus barely beat Natomas the last time the pair played, but that sure wasn't the case this time around. The West Campus Warriors never let the Natomas Nighthawks get on the board and left with a 28-0 win on Tuesday. The Warriors might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won five matches by ten runs or more this season.
Jaymin Wise and Jackson Start were a major factor no matter where they played. Throwing, Wise pitched one inning while giving up no earned runs or hits. Meanwhile, Start struck out seven batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit (and not a single walk). What's more, he gave up only zero walks, the fewest he's had since back in April of 2024. At the plate, Wise got on base in all three of his plate appearances with four RBI, two runs, and one double, while Start scored three runs while going 1-for-2. Wise is becoming a predictor of West Campus' success: when he posts at least two runs the team is undefeated (and 3-5 when he doesn't).

He has been hot recently, having posted at least one stolen base the last four times he's played. The team also got some help courtesy of Jonah Lee, who scored three runs while getting on base in four of his six plate appearances.
