Temescal Canyon also let their pitcher toss all seven innings and she was also dialed-in: JESSENIA MOORE gave up three earned (and one unearned) runs on eight hits and racked up 12 Ks.

At the plate, the team relied heavily on CIARA BABCOCK, who went 3-for-4 with one run and one RBI. SAMI OLSON was another key player, going 1-for-3 with two RBI.

Temescal Canyon hit smart and finished the game with only two strikeouts. The team has now struck out at least five batters in 13 consecutive contests.

Saturday's game will be a test for both teams' pitchers. Valley View hasn't had any issues making contact this season, having earned a batting average of .364. However, it's not like Temescal Canyon struggles in that department as they've averaged .427. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
