Valley is a perfect 4-0 against Northwest since April of 2022 and they'll have a chance to extend that dominance on Tuesday. The Indians will be taking part in a tournament against the Mohawks at 1:30 p.m.

Monday just wasn't the day for Valley's offense. They came up short against South Webster on Monday, falling 10-0. For those keeping track at home, that's the biggest loss the Indians have suffered since May 19, 2025.

Meanwhile, there's no place like home for Northwest, who bounced back after a loss on the road two weeks ago. They walked away with a 5-2 victory over Piketon on Thursday. Give some credit to the fans of both teams: the last three times they've met, the home team has come away the winner.

Braxton Burris spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered only one earned (and one unearned) run on four hits. He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in five consecutive appearances.

On the hitting side, Northwest saw seven different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Bradley Mason, who went 1-for-2 with one RBI.

Northwest's win bumped their record up to 16-9. As for Valley, their defeat dropped their record down to 18-7.

Valley got the 'W' in their previous matchup back in April against Northwest by a conclusive 12-6 score. Do the Indians have another victory up their sleeve, or will the Mohawks turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
