The Vale Vikings will hit the road for the first time this season to challenge the La Grande Tigers at 1:00 p.m. on Wednesday. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, the two teams will really light up the scoreboard.
Vale is headed out to face La Grande after opening their season at home and giving their fans just what they were looking for. Vale put the hurt on Ontario with a sharp 14-1 win on Tuesday. Give some credit to the fans of both teams: the last four times they've met, the home team has come away the winner.
Meanwhile, La Grande put another one in the bag on Saturday to keep their perfect season alive. They came within a single run of losing the streak, but they secured a 16-15 W against Twin Falls.
La Grande got a massive performance out of Peyton Daggett, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with three runs, four RBI, and two doubles. Those two doubles gave Daggett a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Paige Allen, who went a perfect 2-for-2 with one home run and three runs.
La Grande always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .633. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Twin Falls only posted an OBP of .452.
Vale suffered a grim 9-0 defeat to La Grande in their previous meeting back in May of 2023. Can Vale avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
