Lone Peak not only won on Saturday, but they posted their biggest win since March 22, 2024. They were the clear victors by a 9-1 margin over Farmington. The Knights' victory was nothing new given the team hasn't lost yet this season.

Monday's contest will be a test for both teams' pitchers. Fremont hasn't had any issues making contact this season, having earned a batting average of .325.
