Brookville is a perfect 10-0 against Valley View since April of 2019 and they'll have a chance to extend that dominance on Monday. The Blue Devils will head out to challenge the Spartans at 5:00 p.m. One thing working in Brookville's favor is that they have posted at least ten runs in their last four matches.

Brookville is probably headed into the game with a chip on their shoulder considering Waynesville just ended the team's three-game winning streak on Wednesday. They lost 18-12 to the Spartans. The game snapped a strange streak: the last three times these teams have met, it?s been the away team that?s taken home the W.

Rylan Eagle made the most of her time at bat despite the final result and went a perfect 4-for-4 with one home run, three runs, and three RBI. That home run marked the first that she launched this season. Another player making a difference was Maya Haydon, who scored two runs while going 2-for-5.

Monday's contest will be a test for both teams' pitchers. Brookville hasn't had any issues making contact this season, having earned a batting average of .319. However, it's not like Valley View struggles in that department as they've averaged .371. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.

Everything went Brookville's way against Valley View in their previous meeting two weeks ago, as Brookville made off with an 11-1 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Blue Devils since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
