Valley extended their losing streak to six on Tuesday, dropping them down to 6-15. They lost 14-4 to the Brush Beetdiggers. The result was an unpleasant reminder to the Vikings of the 11-5 loss they experienced in the pair's previous head-to-head fixture back in October of 2024.

As for Brush, the victory was the fourth in a row for them, bringing their record up to 14-5. The result was nothing new for the Beetdiggers, who have now won ten matchups by six runs or more so far this season.
On Brush's side, Elizabeth Peckham made a splash no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, striking out six batters over four innings while giving up just one earned (and three unearned) runs off six hits (and not a single walk). Peckham was also stellar in the batter's box, going 3-for-4 with three RBI, two doubles, and one run. Those two doubles gave her a new career-high.
In other batting news, Jolie Tuck was a standout: she went 1-for-2 with two stolen bases, three runs, and two RBI.

As for Brush, they are taking a road trip to challenge Northridge at 3:30 p.m. on Wednesday. The Beetdiggers' pitchers better be ready for this one: the Grizzlies have averaged an impressive 8.3 runs per game this season.
