Considering the Trojans have won 12 contests by more than five runs this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.

Carson Grier and Jaxen Maxey were a major factor no matter where they played. Throwing, Grier struck out eight batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs off three hits (and only one walk). Meanwhile, Maxey struck out seven batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs or hits. Grier has been consistent : he hasn't given up more than one earned run in six consecutive appearances. At the plate, Grier scored a run and stole a base while going 2-for-4, while Maxey scored three runs and stole four bases while going 2-for-3. That's the most runs Maxey has posted since back in March.

In other batting news, Brayden Waggoner was incredible, getting on base in all four of his plate appearances with one home run, three stolen bases, and three runs. The dominant performance also gave him a new career-high in RBI (four). Another player making a difference was Caleb Danzeisen, who went 1-for-3 with one stolen base and one RBI.

Valley Christian's victory was their third straight at home, which pushed their record up to 18-2. Those home wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 13.7 runs over those games.
