Jessica Carr spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered just two earned runs on seven hits and racked up six Ks. She has been consistent for a while: she hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in 11 consecutive appearances.
At the plate, Karina Montero was incredible, going 3-for-4 with two runs, two doubles, and one RBI. That's the most doubles she has posted since back in February. Brooke Phillips was another key player, going 2-for-3 with one run and one RBI.
Canyon hit smart and finished the game with only one strikeout. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Golden Valley struck out six times.
Valencia came out on top against Castaic on Tuesday thanks in part to the team's impressive four-run second inning. The Vikings never let the Coyotes get on the board and left with an 8-0 victory. Considering the Vikings have won five contests by more than seven runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.
Not much got past Carly Kearns, who gave up just five hits and racked up 13 Ks to keep Castaic off the board.
On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Sydney Bolder, who went 3-for-5 with three runs, one triple, and two RBI. That triple marked the first that she has hit this season. Another player making a difference was Blair Rune, who went 3-for-4 with one double and one RBI.
Valencia's record now sits at 10-6. As for Canyon, the win got them back to even at 10-10.
Fans could be in store for some top-tier slugging on Tuesday. Canyon hasn't had any problems when it comes to power this season, having averaged 0.5 home runs per game. However, it's not like Valencia struggles in that department as they've been averaging 0.6 home runs. With so much power on both teams, it'll be down to the pitchers to keep the mound locked down.
Canyon came out on top in a nail-biter against Valencia in their previous meeting back in March, sneaking past 2-0. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Cowboys since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
