Valley View extended their winning streak to eight on Friday, bumping their season record up to 19-2-1 in the process. Everything went their way against the Dallas Mountaineers as they made off with a 12-2 win. The Cougars have seen this before: they got the W the last time they saw the Mountaineers, too.

Taylor Cawley and Abbi Call made a big impact while hitting and pitching. Throwing, Cawley struck out nine batters over five innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off five hits (and only one walk). Meanwhile, Call pitched one inning while giving up no earned runs or hits. Cawley has been consistent for a while: she hasn't given up more than two walks in 19 consecutive appearances. At the plate, Cawley went a perfect 3-for-3 with one home run, four RBI, and one double, while Call went 1-for-4 with one home run and three RBI. That's the most RBI Call has posted since back in April.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Cora Castellani, who got on base in three of her four plate appearances with three stolen bases and four runs. Those four runs gave her a new career-high. Emily Moyles was another key player, going 1-for-3 with one home run and four RBI.

Valley View was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .385. That was just more of the same: they've now posted a batting average of .385 or higher in eight consecutive games.

As for Dallas, their defeat dropped their record down to 13-6. The pitching woes were uncharacteristic for they, who until this matchup were averaging 3.84 runs allowed.

On Dallas' side, they saw five different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was LIA RILEY, who went 1-for-3 with one home run.

As of now, neither Valley View nor the Mountaineers have any future games scheduled.
