ST. GEORGE – The windy conditions were the real starts as Region 9 softball began Tuesday. The six region teams squared off in round one of 10 nights of competition. Below is a breakdown of Tuesday’s action: | |
Snow Canyon 3, Hurricane 1 | |
On a super windy afternoon, this game came down to a pitching duel between Snow Canyon’s Heather Prestwich and Hurricane’s Savannah Garner.
Hurricane halved the lead in the top of the fourth when Jayden Smith’s double scored Hayley Teta. But Snow Canyon would match the run in the bottom of the inning when Sammie Johnston scored on a fielding error by the Hurricane left fielder.
In the sixth inning, Warrior third baseman Sonya Hardy made a diving catch on a bunt that popped up a few feet from home plate. Hardy then rose and appeared to have caught the runner at first base, though she did not get the call from the base umpire. Prestwich came away with the win, striking out eight and allowing three hits. “The wind required some adjustment,” said Prestwich. “But I was able to put the ball where I wanted, for the most part. “ Snow Canyon moves to 6-0-1 overall and 1-0 in region play. Hurricane drops to 8-5 overall, 1-0 in region. The Warriors will play at Dixie on Mar. 30. The Tigers will host Enterprise Wednesday. Game time is 4 p.m.
