The Palo Alto High School baseball team (6-1, 2-0) triumphed over Mountain View High School (2-5-1, 0-2), 9-2, in its first league game of the season.

According to MaxPreps, the Vikings scored their first eight runs in the first inning, kicking off with a strong start that the Spartans failed to overcome. Several players scored one run each, with the exception of junior infielder Riley Schoeben, who scored two.

The team defeated Mountain View in its second meeting with the Spartans last week at Mountain View, 13-6. Paly will take on Homestead 4 p.m. next Wednesday at home.
