American Fork 2 Skyridge 1<\/p>

While its offense has carried it most of the way in this year\u2019s 6A state tournament, No. 1 American Fork found itself in quite the pitcher\u2019s duel in Game 1 of the state championship series against No. 7 Skyridge on Friday.<\/p>

But the Cavemen did just enough to get the 2-1 victory to take a 1-0 lead in the series.<\/p>

Both teams finished with just five hits apiece and both had two errors. Kenny Johnson threw a gem of a game for the Cavemen, tossing a complete game with seven strikeouts and just one walk.<\/p>

Johnson not only took care of business on the mound, but he was quick to contribute at the plate as well, as American Fork got on the scoreboard in the bottom of the first inning on an RBI double from him.<\/p>

\u201cKenny Johnson has been an absolute stalwart for us,\u201d said American Fork head coach Jarod Ingersoll. \u201cWe know what we\u2019re going to get every time on the mound. He\u2019s a complete competitor. We really had to gut it up because Skyridge is a great offensive team, and he did a great job on them.<\/p>

\u201cOur guys also made some big plays on defense. We threw a couple of guys out on the bases, which were big outs. We got some stuff we have to clean up. We pressed a little bit. We lost our approach and that was the difference.\u201d<\/p>

Skyridge took advantage of an American Fork throwing error in the top half of the fourth inning to tie the game up at 1-1, but the Cavemen didn\u2019t wait long to answer, getting the lead right back the very next inning with a sac fly from Cache Poulson that proved to be the game-winner.<\/p>

One key area American Fork wants to clean up going into Game 2 is the offensive display and taking better approaches at the plate.<\/p>

\u201cWe weren\u2019t on time at all,\u201d Ingersoll said. \u201cWe talked about them playing free and we felt we were a little bit tight. We have got to find a way to be more relaxed and better competitors in the box.\u201d <\/p>

While American Fork knows it is in good shape as it looks to hoist another championship trophy, Ingersoll knows his players can\u2019t get too ahead of themselves.<\/p>

\u201cGetting the first game is obviously huge,\u201d he said. \u201cThese games are never easy. Skyridge is a hungry team and our kids are, too. It\u2019s a big step in the right direction. You got to win one game at a time and tomorrow that starts with Game 2.\u201d<\/p>
