The Evergreen Valley baseball squad played perhaps its best game of the season on Monday afternoon as they claimed a dominating 8-0 victory over Prospect. Starter Alex Lagman and closer Cole Nicholson combined on a two-hit shutout. Nicholson was also on fire at the plate, going 3-for-3, scoring three runs, and driving in one. Robert Gonzalez and Chris Gallegos each hit a two-run double that contributed to the win. The Cougars play tomorrow at Piedmont Hills and host the Pirates on Thursday.
