The Valhalla Norsemen will challenge the Imperial Tigers at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Each of these teams will be battling to keep a five-game winning streak alive.
Valhalla's pitching crew heads into the game hoping to repeat the dominance they displayed on Monday. They walked away with a 3-0 win over San Pasqual. While the Norsemen didn't have the best season last year (they finished 6-21), it's starting to look like those struggles are a thing of the past.
Not much got past Devyn Mack, who gave up just two hits to keep San Pasqual off the board. Mack has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than one earned run in six consecutive appearances.
At the plate, Valhalla's victory was truly a team effort as four different players contributed at least one hit. One of them was Avery Voth, who went 2-for-3 with one stolen base. Emma Sloan also deserves some recognition as she hit her first double of the season.
Meanwhile, it was close, but on Friday Imperial sidestepped Bonita Vista for a 1-0 win.
The result came thanks to Jayden Rutledge's shutout, as she gave up just three hits.
Imperial's victory was their seventh straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 6-2. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 6.4 runs over those games. As for Valhalla, their win bumped their record up to 5-2.
Valhalla couldn't quite finish off Imperial when the teams last played back in February of 2024 and fell 2-0. Can Valhalla avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
