March 26: Lehi 14, Skyridge 6
After a scoreless first inning on the road, the Falcons gave up 11 runs in the next three innings to give the Pioneers an advantage they wouldn’t relinquish. Skyridge scored four runs in the fifth and two in the sixth to extend the game to seven innings but couldn’t reduce the margin any further.
Baker and Atcitty each pitched three innings in the loss and weren’t helped by four fielding errors, though they contributed at the plate. Atcitty singled twice and scored once, while Baker drove in a run and crossed herself.
Walston added three hits and one run while junior Brynlee Ross scored twice as a pinch runner. Ford had two hits and one run. Senior Kaylie Power, Plewe and Southwick each contributed an RBI.
