Westlake is a perfect 10-0 against Lone Peak since April of 2021 and they'll have a chance to extend that dominance on Monday. The Thunder will look to defend their home field against the Knights at 3:30 p.m. Westlake is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 10.8 runs per game this season.
Westlake is coming in fresh off a high-stakes matchup with another one of Utah's top teams: Logan, who was ranked 22nd at the time (Westlake was ranked tenth). Neither the Thunder nor the Grizzlies could gain the upper hand on Saturday so the two teams had to settle for a 7-7 tie.
Lone Peak hadn't beaten American Fork on the road since April 20, 2023 but that history sure didn't bother them on Thursday. The Knights came out on top against the Cavemen by a score of 17-12.
Clara Gourley was a major factor while hitting and pitching. On the mound, she tossed seven innings while giving up three earned (and nine unearned) runs off ten hits. Gourley was even better at the plate, going 2-for-4 with one home run, three RBI, and one double. That's the most RBI she has posted since back in May of 2025.
In other batting news, Lone Peak got a massive performance out of Maggie Nelson, who fired off two home runs, four runs, and four RBI while getting on base in four of her five plate appearances. That's the most home runs Nelson has posted since back in March. The team also got some help courtesy of Maci Koch, who went 4-for-5 with one home run, three runs, and two RBI.
Lone Peak lost a few balls and finished the game with six home runs. That's the most home runs they've managed all season.
Lone Peak's victory ended a five-game drought on the road dating back to last season and puts them at 7-7. Westlake's draw makes their record 13-4-1 this season.
Monday's matchup might come down to which pitcher can control the ball better. Westlake has hit smart this season, having averaged an OBP of .485. However, it's not like Lone Peak struggles in that department as they've averaged .456. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
Westlake got the 'W' in their previous meeting back in March against Lone Peak by a conclusive 17-7 score. Do the Thunder have another victory up their sleeve, or will the Knights turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
