St. George • When the Desert Hills baseball team stepped off the field in last season’s 4A state championship game, it was in crushing defeat at the hands of Dixie High. But a year later, almost to the day, the Thunder got their sweet payback.
The Thunder won the 2019 4A title with a resounding 16-3 victory in five innings over the Flyers on Tuesday afternoon at Dixie State University. Dixie beat Desert Hills last year by a narrow 1-0.
For the Thunder, seniors Andrus and Drew Thorpe drove in eight runs combined and led their team to an easy victory.
