Deer Valley won the last time they faced Westview and things went their way on Thursday too. Deer Valley blew past Westview 16-0. The Skyhawks might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won eight matches by seven runs or more this season.

Adyson Ordway made a big impact while hitting and pitching. She looked comfortable on the mound, striking out six batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit (and not a single walk). She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in nine consecutive appearances. She was also solid in the batter's box, scoring a run while going 2-for-3. What's more, she posted three RBI, the most she's had since back in February of 2024.

In other batting news, Taylor Passalacqua was a standout: she went 3-for-4 with three runs, four RBI, and two doubles. That's the most hits she has posted since back in April of 2024. Another player making a difference was Leila Hermosillo, who scored three runs and stole two bases while going 3-for-4.

Deer Valley hit smart and finished the game with only two strikeouts. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now struck out at most four strikeouts in three consecutive contests.

Deer Valley pushed their record up to 13-3-1 with the victory, which was their fourth straight on the road. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 8.3 runs over those games. As for Westview, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost three of their last four games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 3-4 record this season.
