Blue Valley had to start their season on the road on Tuesday, and it wasn't the start they were hoping for. They wound up on the wrong side of a rough 13-3 walloping at the hands of the Valley Heights Mustangs.
For Valley Heights' part, Paige Miller was a major factor no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, striking out 13 batters over five innings while giving up just two earned (and one unearned) runs off one hit. Miller was also big at the plate, scoring two runs while going 2-for-3.
In other batting news, Anne Toerber and Lindsay Gray did most of the damage at the plate: Toerber went 3-for-4 with five RBI, two runs, and two doubles, while Gray scored four runs and stole two bases while getting on base in all four of her plate appearances. Brooke Porter was another key contributor, scoring two runs and stealing two bases while going 1-for-2.
Valley Heights made their fans wait, but they earned their first win of the season to make their record 1-2.
While Blue Valley had to take the loss, they won't have to wait long to give it another shot: the pair will be back at it again later today.
