As for Orem, the win was the sixth in a row for them, bringing their record up to 10-8. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 9.2 runs over those games.
For Orem's part, Coulson Rich looked comfortable as he struck out six batters over four innings while giving up just two earned (and one unearned) runs off two hits.
At the plate, the team relied heavily on Chase Ford, who went a perfect 4-for-4 with one home run, five RBI, and three runs. Those five RBI gave him a new career-high. Jake DeMaria also deserves some recognition as he brought in his first RBI of the season.
