High school softball: Herriman continues region dominance with win over Mountain Ridge

However, Mountain Ridge gave them significant resistance. In the end, Herriman weathered a Sentinel comeback to earn its fifth consecutive win, 9-3. The Mustangs earned the early lead through quick outs defensively, while having long stands at bat to earn the 4-0 lead.

They took advantage of a handful of Mountain Ridge errors, and Aspyn Hawes had a double and a single, which brought home two runs. Everything was going Herriman’s way until the top of the fourth inning. The Mustangs had strong pitching all day, but a few untimely walks and base hits gave Mountain Ridge loaded bases with only one out.

A walk then gave Mountain Ridge its first run of the game, and all of a sudden, the lead looked much less significant. The Herriman coaching staff decided to make a pitching change and put Sierra Prescott on the mound. “Honestly, in those types of situations, I really had to trust my team and my defense behind me,” Prescott said.

“I know they have my back, so I feel like I’m able to get my job done. ” Mountain Ridge managed to score two more runs, both of which came from a base hit from Hannah Dansie , but after the Herriman defense got the third out, it dominated from there. Herriman’s Hadlie McKell, comes up just short as she works to field the ball as they and Mountain Ridge compete in Softball at Herriman on Tuesday, April 14, 2026.
