Jensen threw just 64 pitches—46 for strikes—as he made short work of the Pioneers. He tossed a 4-hitter, striking out three and walking just one.

"He was hitting his spots and getting a lot of ground balls," said Los Gatos Brad Sanfilippo after the win. "He was just real efficient."

"He's been our workhorse," said Sanfilippo of Jensen. "He was real effective today. We had Blair [Murphy] warming up, but we wanted him to get the shutout."

The win comes a week after Jensen had taken a no-hit shutout into the sixth inning against Palo Alto, only to give up a three-run homer to lose the decision.

There were no homers last Wednesday, though. In fact, the best the Pioneers could muster was a double and three singles—one of them a bunt single.

It was one of two wins for the Wildcats last week. Gatos came back after blanking Cupertino to edge Los Altos 7-5. The Cats, now 6-2 in the division, were to host Wilcox on Monday and will be home against Los Altos on April 2, 3:30 p.m.

Marty Mullins had a couple of hits to knock in three runs to lead the Wildcats at the plate in the win over the Pioneers. His run-scoring single in the fourth gave the Cats a 2-0 lead, and his two-run single in the fifth virtually put the game away.

"Marty's done such a great job for us behind the plate as a sophomore," said Sanfilippo. "But he was real aggressive at the plate today."

But the Wildcats took the lead in Wednesday's game before Mullins even got his first at-bat. Logan Schafer ripped a one-out single to right and stole second. Russell Laubach reached on an error to move Schafer to third, and Jeremy Bays plated him with a sacrifice fly to center.

It remained 1-0 until the fourth. Nick Perrone stroked a two-out double to right and, after drilling two loud foul balls down the left-field line, Mullins stuck out his bat on an 0-2 pitch to drop a run-scoring single into right.

Gatos put it away with a three-run rally in the fifth. L. Schafer beat out a bunt single and Laubach doubled to left to chase him to third. Bays reached on a fielder's choice and an out later Justin Schafer walked to push home a run.

After a fly out to left, Mullins came through with his second clutch two-out hit—a single up the middle to drive in two runs.

That proved more than enough cushion for Jensen. He had dispatched the Pioneers on just six pitches in the fifth—thanks to a Matt Hirakawa to Mullins to Laubach double-play—and it took him just five pitches in the sixth and six in the seventh to clinch the win.

Mullins, Laubach and L. Schafer had two hits each for the Cats in the win and Michael Brienzo, Perrone and Hirakawa added one each.

Murphy was the winning pitcher and Bays came on to pick up the save for the Wildcats in the 7-5 win over Los Altos to close out the week.

Laubach ripped a solo homer in the seventh for the Cats and L. Schafer doubled home a pair of runs in the fourth.

Brienzo opened the game with a single for the Cats. Derek Thomas doubled in a run in the first and Murphy singled one in.
