Calallen put another one in the bag on Saturday to keep their perfect season alive. Their pitchers stepped up to hand the King Mustangs a 17-0 shutout. The result was nothing new for the Wildcats, who have now won nine contests by six runs or more so far this season.
Chase Lynch was a major factor no matter where he played. He looked comfortable on the mound, tossing two innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit. Furthermore, he didn't allow a single walk, the first time he has blanked an opponent since back in March of 2024. He was also stellar in the batter's box, going a perfect 3-for-3 with three RBI and two doubles. Those three RBI gave him a new career-high.
In other pitching news, Lucas Saenz looked comfortable as he pitched one inning while giving up no earned runs or hits. What's more, he gave up only zero walks, the fewest he's had over his last four games.
Back at the plate, Dallin DeBellas was a standout: he went 2-for-3 with one home run, five RBI, and two runs. Those five RBI gave him a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Reese Rusher, who scored three runs and stole two bases while going 3-for-3.
