Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask North Valleys). They never let the Truckee Wolverines get on the board and left with a 19-0 win on Wednesday. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the team's high-flying offense, the game also marked the team's biggest victory of the season.

Maddie Rebell made a splash while hitting and pitching. She looked comfortable on the mound, striking out seven batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit (and not a single walk). Rebell was also solid in the batter's box, scoring two runs while getting on base in all three of her plate appearances. Those two runs gave her a new career-high.

In other batting news, North Valleys got a massive performance out of Caylee Soap, who went 3-for-4 with three runs, three RBI, and one triple. Soap also snagged a stolen base, marking her first of the season. Another player making a difference was Karli Klein, who scored three runs and stole a base while getting on base in three of her four plate appearances.
