Mountain View hasn't had much luck against Perry recently, but that could start to change on Monday. The Toros will challenge the Pumas at 3:45 p.m. Mountain View knows how to get runs on the board -- the team has finished with ten runs or more in their past six contests -- so hopefully Perry likes a good challenge.
On Saturday, Mountain View got the win against Higley by a conclusive 11-5. The Toros might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won nine matchups by six runs or more this season.
Jaelynn Fike made a splash no matter where she played. She tossed two innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit.

That's the most hits she has posted since back in March.
