American Fork faced Lehi in a battle between two of the state's top teams on Friday. The Cavemen put the hurt on the Pioneers with a sharp 11-2 victory. Considering the Cavemen have won nine contests by more than five runs this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.
Tege Kelley looked comfortable as he didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only two hits over four innings pitched. He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than two walks in seven consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Gavin Robinson, who fired off two home runs and three RBI while going 2-for-4. Those two home runs gave him a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Cooper Jones, who got on base in three of his four plate appearances with one home run, two runs, and two RBI.
American Fork was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .387. That was just more of the same: they've now posted a batting average of .333 or higher in 12 consecutive matches.
American Fork is on a roll lately: they've won ten of their last 12 games. That's provided a nice bump to their 13-3 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.3 runs on average over those games. As for Lehi, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 9-7.
