On Friday, the Stompers hosted the Novato Knicks in a non-league game at Arnold Field.
Both teams got off to a hot start as the Knicks rallied together a few hits and scored one in the first inning on an RBI single by Joey Taddie.
The Stompers would stomp back in the bottom half of the inning and score four of their own including a one-run triple from Xabier Iparraguire that was crushed to center field that was hit 408 feet!
The Knicks would try to scratch and claw their way back into the game scoring one in the third.
The Stompers would not let it get close though as they would score five more in the fourth highlighted by an Omar Gastelum two-run home run. Following the blast was an extra base hit from Wyatt Davis. They would extend the lead to 9-2.
The Stompers bats continued to stay hot as Logan Azem would rope a two-run triple down the right field in a three-run sixth inning to extend the lead to 12-2.
Sonoma would tack on one more in the seventh thanks to a Gastelum double and the Knicks would score one of their own for good measure in the eighth.
The final would be 13-3 as the Stompers would record their 10th win of the season.
