ST. GEORGE – Give Snow Canyon credit, they didn’t schedule a patsy to close the season.
The Lady Warriors edged 2A powerhouse Enterprise 4-3 Friday afternoon to complete a perfect 20-0 season. But it wasn’t easy.
Brytni Gurney pitched her 20th win of the season and knocked home a pair of runs to help Snow Canyon hold on for the win. Enterprise trailed 4-1 going into the seventh, but got a pair of runs and had the tying run on base before Gurney closed the door on the win.
It was a well-pitched game as Gurney dueled with the Lady Wolves Dakota Robinson. Enterprise, 18-4, got a two-run homer from Jaycee Reber in that seventh inning.
Snow Canyon had clinched region two weeks ago, but now can finally focus on the state playoffs. The Lady Warriors play host to Payson, Uintah and Tooele next Saturday in one playoff pod. Payson and Uintah will play at 10 a.m. with Snow Canyon and Tooele meeting at noon.
Canyon View 7, Dixie 1
Kenzii Redd and Josie Platt each had two hits as the Lady Falcons secured second place in region. Savanah Eckhardt pitched the gem and will be instrumental as CV gears up for the state playoffs.
