The Highlanders only came away with one victory but showed great character as they didn't have a set starter for any game. The team utilized a staff performance for every game but were fortunate enough to get six strong innings from junior
Shamus Lyons in their win vs. Fullerton. Cannon set the school record for home runs in a season with 17 on Tuesday vs. Grand Canyon. Junior
Travis Bohall had an outstanding three games as he posted 10 hits through the three games he played in, including a career-high four on Friday vs. Fullerton.
