The Lone Peak Knights will head out to challenge the Jordan Beetdiggers at 3:30 p.m. on Monday. Lone Peak is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 7.8 runs per game this season.
Lone Peak is coming in fresh off a high-stakes matchup with another one of Utah's top teams: Lehi, who was ranked eighth at the time (Lone Peak was ranked fourth). The Knights fell just short of the Pioneers by a score of 6-5 on Friday. The Knights haven't had much luck with the Pioneers recently, as the team has come up short the last four times they've met.

At the plate, Bronx Chavira was cooking despite his team's loss, going 2-for-4 with one home run.

KADE CARTER spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered only one earned run on seven hits. He has become a key player for Jordan: the team is 6-1 when he allows at most one earned run, but 6-9 otherwise.
On the hitting side, DALLON MOLDER was excellent, going 3-for-4 with one run and one RBI. That's the most hits he has posted since back in March. BRAYLON PETTIT also deserves some recognition as he brought in his first RBI of the season.

Monday's contest will be a test for both teams' pitchers. Lone Peak hasn't had any issues making contact this season, having earned a batting average of .370. However, it's not like Jordan struggles in that department as they've averaged .312. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
