Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Valley View). They never let the Port Isabel Tarpons get on the board and left with a 24-0 victory on Tuesday. Considering the Tigers have won eight matches by more than five runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.

David Justice was a major factor while hitting and pitching. On the mound, he didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only two hits while striking out eight over five innings pitched. That's the most strikeouts he has posted since back in March. He was also stellar in the batter's box, going 4-for-5 with one home run, five RBI, and two runs. That home run was his first of the season.

In other batting news, Valley View let Ivan De Hoyos and Jesus Rios run wild. De Hoyos went 3-for-5 with five RBI, three runs, and one double, while Rios scored three runs while going 3-for-4. Those three hits gave De Hoyos a new career-high. Antonio Briseno also deserves some recognition as he got his first hits of the season.

Valley View hit smart and finished the game with only two strikeouts. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Port Isabel struck out nine times.

The win made it two in a row for Valley View and bumps their season record up to 14-5. The victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered a grand total of 4 runs in those games. As for Port Isabel, they are on a 24-game losing streak (dating back to last season) that has dropped them down to 0-13.
