Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask West Valley). They never let the Anderson Cubs get on the board and left with a 25-0 victory on Tuesday. The Eagles have beaten the Cubs the last nine times they've met, but they better watch out: this was the closest the Cubs has come to flipping the script.
Mason Mcfadden and Jayden Knight were major factors while hitting and pitching. Throwing, Mcfadden struck out six batters over two innings while giving up no earned runs or hits (and not a single walk). Meanwhile, Knight struck out six batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs or hits (and only one walk). He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in eight consecutive appearances. At bat, Mcfadden went 3-for-4 with three RBI, two runs, and one double, while Knight got on base in all three of his plate appearances with two RBI, one run, and one double. That's the most RBI Mcfadden has posted since back in April of 2024.
In other batting news, West Valley got a massive performance out of Gunner Church, who went 3-for-5 with four runs, four RBI, and one stolen base. Those four RBI gave Church a new career-high. Degan Palos was another key player, getting on base in five of his six plate appearances with five runs, one stolen base, and two RBI.
West Valley kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 17 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least 11 hits in three consecutive games.
West Valley's win was their fifth straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 14-3. Those road victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.6 runs on average over those games. As for Anderson, they are on a seven-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 1-11.
