While Saturday's victory was certainly a team effort, someone pulling more than their own weight was underclassman Gehrig Orchard. Hillcrest had no answer to Orchard on Saturday as he didn't allow a single earned run and only one hit while striking out eight over five innings pitched.
Orchard and Provo will take on Ridgeline at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday. Orchard has dominated as far as hits are concerned (he's averaged 1.2 per game this season), but he's got his work cut out for him considering Ridgeline has only allowed 6.12 per game this season.
