The Stompers picked up another win Sunday Night on Tree Fort night, defeating the Menlo Park Legends 5-0 for their third shutout victory of the season.
After allowing the first two runners to reach base, starting pitcher Jack Cazin dominated going four innings allowing just one hit, no runs and struck out five batters over four innings of work.
The Stompers broke through in the second inning. Jack Gallagher led off the frame with a double. After advancing to third on a wild pitch, Mikey Bell brought him home on an RBI groundout to give the home team a 1-0 lead.
Cameron Jowaiszas brought home a second run in the third inning on a sacrifice fly.
Productive outs were the theme of the night, as Bell nearly missed a three-run home run, but settled for a sacrifice fly to push the Stomper lead to 3-0. Connor Blough extended the lead with an RBI single, scoring Gallagher to make it 4-0.
A third and final sacrifice fly from Nick Mueller scored Alex Leopard to put the final run on the scoreboard for the Stompers.
Zach Garcia came on and threw three scoreless innings of relief, allowing just one hit, striking out two and walking one.
Brady Routon got the final six outs, walking two batters and striking out two to secure the win for Sonoma.
