Valley Falls took care of business in their home opener (and then some) on Monday. They were the clear victors by a 10-0 margin over the Atchison County Tigers. The Dragons haven't had any issues with the Tigers recently, as the game was their ninth consecutive victory against them.
Vinnie Carter and Trenten VanHoutan made a splash no matter where they played. On the mound, Carter pitched 2.1 innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit. Meanwhile, VanHoutan struck out eight batters over 3.2 innings while giving up no earned runs off three hits (and not a single walk). At bat, Carter scored two runs and stole two bases while getting on base in all three of his plate appearances, while VanHoutan scored two runs and stole two bases while going 1-for-4. Those two runs gave Carter a new career-high.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Damian Cervantez, who scored a run and stole a base while going 2-for-3. Another player making a difference was Hayden Kearney, who scored a run while going 2-for-3.
Valley Falls hit smart and finished the game with only two strikeouts. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now struck out at most four strikeouts in eight consecutive games dating back to last season.
The teams didn't have to wait long for a rematch: Valley Falls beat Atchison County by a score of 10-0 later that day.
