After having lost a blowout in their previous game against Spanish Springs, North Valleys was happy to have turned things around on Friday. Their pitcher stepped up to hand the Crater Comets a 15-0 shutout. Considering the Panthers have won three matches by more than 13 runs this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.
Maddie Rebell looked comfortable as she didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit over four innings pitched.
On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Caylee Soap, who went a perfect 4-for-4 with six RBI and three runs. That's the most RBI she has posted since back in April of 2024. The team also got some help courtesy of Karli Klein, who scored three runs while going 3-for-3.
North Valleys kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 15 hits. They are a perfect 4-0 when they post 11 or more hits.
North Valleys has been performing well recently as they've won four of their last five contests. That's provided a massive bump to their 5-5 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 4.0 runs on average over those games. Crater is on a seven-game losing streak (dating back to last season) that has dropped them down to 0-5.
Coincidentally, North Valleys and Crater will both be playing Alhambra the next time they take the field. North Valleys will head out to face Alhambra at 3:30 p.m. on Friday, while Crater will play them later in the day, at 5:00 p.m.
