Jonah Holmes and Kash Thompson made a big impact no matter where they played. Throwing, Holmes pitched 1.1 innings while giving up no earned runs or hits.

At bat, Holmes went 2-for-4 with one stolen base and one run, while Thompson went 2-for-3 with three stolen bases and two runs. Thompson has become a key player for Ogden: the team is undefeated when he posts at least two runs, but 2-18 otherwise.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Dominic Piper, who got on base in all four of his plate appearances with two stolen bases, three runs, and one RBI. He is becoming a predictor of Ogden's success: when he posts at least two stolen bases the team is 4-2 (and 1-16 when he doesn't). Rodrigo Torres was another key player, going 2-for-4 with two runs, one double, and one RBI.

Provo's record is now 15-8. As for Ogden, their record now sits at 5-18.

Everything went Provo's way against Ogden when the teams last played back in March of 2020, as Provo made off with a 13-0 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Bulldogs since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
