Lone Peak had lost nine games at home dating back to last season, but after bumping their record up to 5-14 on Thursday that streak is in the rearview. They came out on top in a nail-biter against the American Fork Cavemen, sneaking past 5-4. This was a revenge game for the Knights: when they faced off against the Cavemen back in April, they had to take a 2-0 defeat.

Clara Gourley spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered only one earned (and three unearned) runs on ten hits.

On the hitting side, Lone Peak's win was truly a team effort as six different players contributed at least one hit. One of them was Jocelyn Colledge, who went 2-for-3 with one run, one double, and one RBI. That's the most hits Colledge has posted since back in May of 2024.

As for American Fork, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost seven of their last eight matches. That's put a noticeable dent in their 8-15 record this season. They just can't catch a break and have now endured six losses in a row.

On American Fork's side, Sarah Jensen made the most of her time at bat despite the final result and went 2-for-4 with two stolen bases and one triple. Jensen has been hot recently, having posted at least one stolen base the last four times she's played. Another player making a difference was Nataanii Fielding, who went 1-for-4 with two runs, one triple, and one stolen base.

Both squads will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Lone Peak will venture away from home to face off against Skyridge at 3:30 p.m. on Tuesday. As for American Fork, they will head out to square off against Hunter at 3:00 p.m. on Friday. The Wolverines have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 9.19 runs per game on average), something the Cavemen will no doubt try to take advantage of.
