Westlake was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .516. That was just more of the same: they've now posted a batting average of .364 or higher in four consecutive contests.

As for American Fork, they have been struggling recently as they've lost eight of their last ten matchups. That's put a noticeable dent in their 8-12 record this season. They just can't catch a break and have now endured three defeats in a row.

On American Fork's side, they saw three different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Sarah Jensen, who went a perfect 1-for-1 with one stolen base and one run. Another was Kennedy McKinney, who got on base in two of her three plate appearances with two runs.

Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Westlake will square off against Uintah at 3:30 p.m. on Friday. Both teams are headed into the matchup with plenty of momentum (the Thunder have won seven straight at home, while the Utes won three straight on the road), something that'll have to change. As for American Fork, they will take on Cedar at 3:30 p.m. on Friday. The Reds' pitching crew has only allowed 3.2 runs per game this season, so the Cavemen's hitters will have their work cut out for them.
