Everything went their way against the Buckeye Hawks as they made off with a 13-1 win. The Trojans might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won seven contests by seven runs or more this season.

At the plate, Paradise Valley let Adair Ortiz and Braedan Lewis run wild. Ortiz went a perfect 2-for-2 with three RBI, one triple, and one run, while Lewis scored three runs while getting on base in all three of his plate appearances. That's the most runs Lewis has posted since back in March. Jorge Hernandez was another key player, scoring a run while going 1-for-2.
