The Grand County High School softball team clinched its seventh victory in its last eight games with a decisive 6-1 win against the San Juan Broncos on Saturday, May 3. It was a taste of redemption for the Red Devils, who had previously lost to the Broncos 4-3 in April.
Chloe Byrd dominated the mound for all seven innings, allowing just one unearned run on two hits and striking out 12 batters. At the plate, the Red Devils saw hits from four different players, a testament to their team effort. Hope Shumway made a significant impact by going 1-for-3, hitting a home run, scoring twice, and securing two RBIs. Bailey Altoff also shone with a 2-for-3 performance, adding two RBIs and a double.
The Red Devils’ recent performance has propelled them to a 17-8 record, thanks in large part to a solid pitching lineup that has averaged only 2.9 runs allowed in recent games.
At 10 a.m. this Thursday, Grand County will clash with Duchesne, who have its own five-game winning streak.
