Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Sanger West). They put the hurt on the Edison Tigers with a sharp 13-4 victory on Tuesday. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the team's high-flying offense, the game also marked the team's biggest win of the season.
Victor Valadez made a big impact no matter where he played. He looked comfortable on the mound, striking out seven batters over six innings while giving up just two earned (and two unearned) runs off four hits (and only one walk). That's the most strikeouts he has posted since back in March. He was also solid in the batter's box, scoring two runs while going 2-for-5. He also put up a double, which was his first of the season.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Aydan De Leon, who scored three runs while going 3-for-3. Those three hits gave him a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Cesar Gonzalez, who scored a run while going 1-for-4.
Sanger West's record is now 3-10. As for Edison, they are on an eight-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 2-8.
