Caleb Cook drove in six, clearing the bases with a double in the first, and Taye Park homered and reached base four times. Valencia scored six in the bottom of the ninth but fell to Westlake 21-18.
The freshmen hosted Westlake on the JV Field on Saturday morning in a nine-inning game that produced 39 runs.
Westlake scored three in the first, and Valencia answered with five. Landon Page singled, Logan Janes and Chase Costella walked, and Caleb Cook cleared the bases with a double to center; two more scored during Jackson Wertz's at-bat, which ended with an error in right. Westlake went back ahead 7-5 in the second, and Valencia tied it in the bottom half when Page scored on a passed ball and Cook singled home Costella.
Westlake took the lead for good with three runs in the fourth, and the freshmen kept chasing. Jude Soler singled, stole second and third, and scored on Alex Josing's fly ball in the fifth, and Page scored on an error to make it 10-9. Grant Olsen struck out two in a scoreless third, and Jackson Wertz struck out the last two batters of the sixth with the bases loaded, then cut the lead to 11-10 with an RBI double.
Westlake pulled away with eight runs over the eighth and ninth. Down 21-12 in the bottom of the ninth, Valencia scored six: Cook reached on an error that brought home Costella and Page, Taye Park homered to center, and Eric Patterson doubled home two more before the final out.
Valencia ran all morning and stole eight bases. Page and Costella took two apiece, Soler two more, and Janes and Josing one each. Costella reached three times, on a hit, a walk and a hit by pitch, and came around to score every time.
The defense ended two innings on its own. Page ran down a fly ball in center in the fourth and threw to Costella to double off a runner who had not tagged up, and Augie Johnson picked a runner off first to end the seventh. Dominik Tapia recorded four putouts behind the plate and Cook four at first, a third of the twenty-four Valencia made.
Seven Valencia pitchers worked the nine innings and threw 206 pitches, and with Westlake's six arms the two staffs combined for 388. Aaron Brenner started and went two innings, and Olsen, Costella, Wertz, Johnson, Park and Lucas Luster followed him. Six of Westlake's 21 runs were unearned.
Cook finished with six RBI. Page reached base four times and scored four runs, and Park reached four times and scored three.
