The Dixie Flyers will challenge the Box Elder Bees at 11:30 a.m. on Friday. Given that the two teams suffered a loss in their last games, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this match.
After dropping their season opener at home, Box Elder is headed out to face a Flyers team ready to give their home crowd a win. Dixie took a 4-1 hit to the loss column at the hands of Maple Mountain on Thursday.
Jordan Andreas was a force to be reckoned with on the mound despite the final result: he pitched five innings while giving up just one earned run off two hits.
At the plate, Dixie saw three different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Weston Gilmore, who went 2-for-3 with one stolen base. The dominant performance gave Gilmore a new career-high in hits.
Meanwhile, Box Elder started off well but failed to capitalize on an early lead against Mountain Crest. They fell just short of the Mustangs by a score of 4-3 on Tuesday.
