The Bonneville Lakers are taking a road trip to challenge the Clearfield Falcons at 3:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, the two teams will really light up the scoreboard.
As a matter of fact, Bonneville put up the most points they have all season on Monday. They put the hurt on Ogden with a sharp 12-1 victory. The Lakers not only won on Monday, but they posted their biggest win since April 23, 2024.
Peyton Johnson spent all six innings played on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered a run (which was unearned) on five hits and racked up nine Ks. Those nine strikeouts gave her a new career-high.
