Tooele girls lead Dixie
The Dixie State College softball team erupted to a 22-4 win over in-state rival Southern Utah University on Wednesday afternoon at Karl Brooks Field. The Red Storm offense was relentless, pounding out a DII school record 23 hits in the 5-inning run shortened battle. Johnna Brown and Breanna Egge each pounded out four hits apiece, followed by Shantae Hunter and former THS player Kelsey Mendenhall with three hits each. After Red Storm starting pitcher Lauren Folta, from THS, allowed two unearned runs in the bottom of the first on a single by former Tooele player Whitnie Griffith, she ended up pitching the minimum to improve to 12-5 on the year. Britnie Whipple would complete the final two frames of the game, closing out SUU for the win. Dixie State would collect a run in the top of the second inning on a Brown home run to left field; it was her first of two home runs on the day. Most of the Red Storm damage would be done in the 11-run third inning that featured 11 hits in the inning. It would see Brown, Hunter, and Egge all hit long balls in the frame. In the top of the fourth Mendenhall hit a three run home run to left field picking up three of the seven DSC runs in the inning.
