Red Mountain shook off jitters of a shaky first inning Saturday and swiftly got down to business versus visiting Tolleson.

Keith Price ripped a two-run double answering Tolleson's first-inning run and the Mountain Lions went on to post an 8-3 triumph in the first round of the 6A state baseball tournament.

Price and teammate Hagen Wright -- batting fifth and sixth, respectively in Red Mountain's order -- combined for six RBI. Add two hits from second-place hitter Wyatt Bundy (two runs scored) and cleanup hitter Derek Wilson and that's where the firepower came from for the day.

Red Mountain (22-5) will host No. 5 seed Brophy, a 4-3 first round winner over No. 12 Perry, in the second round on Tuesday at 4 p.m. 

"We didn't play our best," Red Mountain coach Rob Gorrell said. "The first inning almost got away from us. We need to play sharper next time."

Tolleson (18-10-1) opened the first inning with a run, using two walks, an infield hit and sacrifice fly. Red Mountain starter Maddox Loria (8-0) managed to limit the damage to a run, getting three successive outs.

Loria, a senior, worked 3 1/3 innings. He allowed three hits, three walks and two runs.

Junior Drew Hanen took over for Loria in the middle of the fourth and shut down Tolleson. Hanen finished allowing one run and four hits over 3 2/3 innings to earn a save.

Tolleson now resides in the losers' bracket of the double-elimination tournament and next plays Tuesday at Perry at 4 p.m. Tolleson was paced offensively in Saturday's loss by Anthony Ramirez (3 for 4 and a run scored) and Jose Corrales (2 for 4 and two runs scored).
