Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask River Valley). They never let the Del Campo Cougars get on the board and left with a 19-0 victory on Tuesday. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the team's high-flying offense, the game also marked the team's biggest win of the season.
Payton Smith made a splash while hitting and pitching. On the mound, she didn't allow a single earned run while striking out eight over five innings pitched. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than two walks in 14 consecutive appearances. She was also solid in the batter's box, going 2-for-4 with two runs. That's the most runs she has posted since back in March.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Kaitlyn Garcia, who went a perfect 4-for-4 with one home run, six RBI, and two runs. Those four hits gave her a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Alexis Otero, who got on base in all four of her plate appearances with three runs and three RBI.
River Valley lost a few balls and finished the game with two home runs. That's a new trend for them: they were averaging 0 home runs per game earlier this season, but in their last 15 matchups they've averaged 0.6.
River Valley has been performing well recently as they've won six of their last eight games. That's provided a nice bump to their 16-10 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.6 runs on average over those games. As for Del Campo, they are on a seven-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 5-18.
As of now, neither River Valley nor the Cougars have any future games scheduled.
