Valley View put another one in the bag on Tuesday to keep their perfect season alive. They never let the West Memphis Blue Devils get on the board and left with a 16-0 victory. That looming 16-0 mark stands out as the most commanding margin for the Blazers yet this season.
West Memphis' batters probably weren't too happy with Ashlyn Beale, who pitched a no hitter and racked up seven Ks (she gave up two walks). The dominant performance also gave Beale a new career-low in hits (zero).
At the plate, the team relied heavily on Avery Ellis, who went a perfect 2-for-2 with five RBI, two runs, and one double. Racey Talley was another key player, scoring two runs and stealing a base while getting on base in two of her three plate appearances.
Valley View always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .944. The team's really been improving in that area: they've now improved their OBP total in three consecutive contests.
