American Fork extended their losing streak to nine on Thursday, dropping their season record down to 8-18 in the process. They took a 7-2 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Lehi Pioneers. Unfortunately, that's the second time they've come up short against the Pioneers this season, as they also lost their prior matchup 14-0 back in April.
American Fork saw six different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Kassidy Naylor, who went 2-for-3 with two RBI.
As for Lehi, the victory was the seventh in a row for them, bringing their record up to 19-8. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.7 runs on average over those games.
On Lehi's side, Addi Felix spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered just two earned runs on eight hits. Felix has been consistent: she hasn't given up more than two walks in six consecutive appearances.
At the plate, the team relied heavily on Mya Maughan, who fired off two home runs and five RBI while going 3-for-4. Those two home runs gave her a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Sophie Bliss, who got on base in three of her four plate appearances with two stolen bases, one run, and one RBI.
Coincidentally, American Fork and Lehi will both be playing Mountain Ridge the next time they take the field. The Pioneers will host the Sentinels at 3:30 p.m. on Friday, while the Cavemen will head out to face them at 3:30 p.m. on Monday.
