North Valley Knights Baseball 7-10 Pleasant Hill

A seven-run effort wasn't enough for North Valley baseball Thursday afternoon, as the team dropped a 10-7 decision to Pleasant Hill on the road. The non-league matchup saw both offenses find their rhythm early, with the hosts ultimately pulling away for the victory.

North Valley showed encouraging signs at the plate after managing just seven runs combined in their first three games of the season. The improved offensive production suggests the team's bats may be starting to come alive as spring weather settles in.

Pleasant Hill capitalized on key scoring opportunities throughout the contest, building enough of a cushion to withstand North Valley's late-inning push. The loss moves North Valley to 0-4 on the young season.

With several non-league games remaining before league play begins, North Valley has valuable opportunities ahead to continue building chemistry and refining their approach. The team's next contest will provide another chance to build on the offensive momentum displayed against Pleasant Hill.
