The Herriman Mustangs will head out to square off against the Riverton Silverwolves at 3:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Herriman is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 8.8 runs per game this season.
Herriman fought the good fight in their extra-innings contest against Lehi on Thursday but wound up with a less-than-desirable result. They fell just short of the Pioneers by a score of 7-6. That makes it the first time this season the Mustangs have let down their home crowd.
Jaylee Hansen was cooking despite her team's loss, going 3-for-4 with one home run, three RBI, and two runs. The team also got some help courtesy of Ruby McQueen, who went 1-for-4 with two runs, one stolen base, and one double.
Meanwhile, Riverton faced Bingham in a battle between two of the state's top teams on Thursday. The Silverwolves put the hurt on the Miners with a sharp 14-7 win. The Silverwolves might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won 17 matchups by six runs or more this season.
Zoe Hazlett was incredible, firing off two home runs, six RBI, and three runs while going 3-for-3. Those two home runs gave her a new career-high. Maggie Hamblin was another key player, going 3-for-5 with three RBI, one triple, and one stolen base.
Riverton kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 17 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least nine hits in ten consecutive games.
Riverton pushed their record up to 21-2 with the victory, which was their third straight on the road. The road wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 13.0 runs over those games. As for Herriman, the defeat was their first at home, dropping their record down to 22-3.
Fans could be in store for some top-tier slugging on Tuesday. Herriman hasn't had any problems when it comes to power this season, having averaged 0.8 home runs per game. However, it's not like Riverton struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 1.7 home runs. With so much power on both teams, it'll be down to the pitchers to keep the mound locked down.
Herriman beat Riverton 5-1 in their previous matchup back in March. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Mustangs since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
