“It was a good game with both teams playing great defense,” said head coach Butch Latey. “Both pitchers were outstanding.”

Ella Miller struck out 12, pitching a one-hitter and facing just 21 Falcons batters, to help the Redhawks to the narrow win.

“We had a pretty good game going until the fifth inning,” said head coach Casey Plowman. “They went ahead three runs and then their bats just got hot and they scored nine more in the next two innings while we could only answer back with two more runs. We were also only able to put together three hits for the whole game.”

Against Box Elder April 11, Woods Cross lost 11-1. The Wildcats gave up runs in every inning to get down 11-0 by the top of the fifth before Natalie Wall drove in a run to avoid the shutout.

Woods Cross picked up their first win of the season with an 18-5 victory over Highland April 12.

Audrey Ayala hit an in-the-park grand slam – going 4-for-4 in her plate appearances – and brought in five runs, coming up a double short of hitting for the cycle. She also was the winning pitcher on the mound. Ashlynn Nelson went 2-for-3, including a double, while Kaylee Moen and Breck Harris also hit doubles in the win.
