At the plate, Kinlee McDermaid and Hadlie McKell did most of the damage at the plate: McDermaid went a perfect 2-for-2 with two runs and two RBI, while McKell went a perfect 1-for-1 with three RBI and one triple. Those three RBI gave McKell a new career-high. Another player making a difference was McKenzie Quintero, who went a perfect 1-for-1 with two runs and one RBI.

Looking ahead, Herriman will welcome Corner Canyon at 3:30 p.m. on Tuesday.
