Valley Vista had no answer to Ethan Chavez on Monday as he struck out eight batters over 5.1 innings while giving up just two earned runs off two hits. As if that's not impressive enough, the pitching appearance was his sixth in a row with more than five strikeouts. This season, Chavez has been strong no matter where he plays. On the mound, he has an ERA of 1.84 over 26.7 innings pitched. Meanwhile, at bat he has slashed 0.391/0.517/0.870 with 10 RBI.
Even though Chavez couldn't lead Maricopa over Valley Vista, he won't have to wait long to try again: the teams have a rematch scheduled at 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday. Chavez has dominated as far as hits are concerned (he's averaged 1.3 per game this season), but he's got his work cut out for him considering Valley Vista has only allowed 6.65 per game this season.
