Owen Bird posted a new career-high in strikeouts on Thursday. He struck out nine batters over five innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off four hits, good enough for us to rate the performance as the best he's had all season long. Paradise Valley is 5-2 when Bird allows two or fewer earned runs, but 7-9 otherwise.

Looking ahead, Bird and Paradise Valley will host Verrado at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Coming in off a loss to Canyon View in their last outing, the Vipers are looking for some redemption. Will the Trojans have enough to fend them off? Check MaxPreps after the match for a full breakdown of the game, commentary, and other baseball content.
