Sadly, Valley is still looking for their first win of the season after four contests. They wound up on the wrong side of a tough 14-3 walloping at the hands of the Nazareth Swifts on Monday. The result was an unpleasant reminder to Valley of the 20-0 defeat they experienced in the pair's previous head-to-head fixture back in April of 2023.

Valley saw five different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Leo Cruz, who scored a run and stole two bases while going 1-for-3. Cruz has been consistent recently: he hasn't given up more than two walks in three consecutive pitching appearances.

Valley's loss dropped their record down to 0-4. As for Nazareth, the win (which was their third in a row) raised their record to 5-3.

Both teams will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Valley will square off against Kress at 4:30 p.m. on Monday. As for Nazareth, they will head out on the road to take on Claude at 4:30 p.m. on Friday. Nazareth knows how to get runs on the board -- the squad has finished with flashy run totals in its past three matchups -- so hopefully Claude likes a good challenge.
