For the second straight game, Skyridge will face off against Lone Peak. The Falcons will host the Knights at 3:30 p.m. on Wednesday. Skyridge is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 6.9 runs per game this season.
Skyridge is coming in fresh off a high-stakes matchup with another one of Utah's top teams: Lone Peak, who was ranked first at the time (Skyridge was ranked ninth). The Falcons came up short against the Knights on Tuesday, falling 9-2.
For Lone Peak's part, Grady Slesk spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered only one earned (and one unearned) run on three hits and racked up eight Ks. Slesk has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up more than two walks in four consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Boston Walkenhorst, who went 1-for-3 with one home run and two runs. The team also got some help courtesy of Crew Nelson, who went 2-for-3 with two RBI.
They weren't the only ones making solid contact: Lone Peak kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 12 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least eight hits in seven consecutive matchups.
Lone Peak's victory was their eighth straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 15-2. Those home wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 9.5 runs over those games. As for Skyridge, they have been struggling recently as they've lost three of their last four games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 11-6 record this season.
The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Wednesday as neither team is afraid to steal. Skyridge has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 3 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Lone Peak struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 3.7 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
