Hidden Valley Mustangs Baseball 7-13 Phoenix

Phoenix broke open a close game with a late offensive surge to defeat Hidden Valley 13-7 in Skyline Conference baseball action Thursday afternoon in Grants Pass, Oregon. The Mustangs couldn't match the Pirates' explosive hitting in what turned into a high-scoring affair at home. Hidden Valley entered the contest with momentum from a strong season but found themselves on the wrong end of Phoenix's potent lineup. The loss drops the Mustangs to 17-5 overall and 8-3 in Skyline Conference play, though they remain well-positioned in the 4A league standings. Despite the setback, Hidden Valley has compiled an impressive campaign with just five losses through 22 games. The Mustangs showed they could generate runs against quality pitching, crossing the plate seven times, but Phoenix's 13-run outburst proved too much to overcome. With the spring season winding down, Hidden Valley will look to bounce back and regain their winning form as they prepare for the upcoming league tournament and potential playoff positioning.
