If you're wondering what Mountain View coach Chris Cooper said in a lengthy post-game post-game speech to his team, it went something like this: "We cannot walk people and expect to win games in this region, re-gion, especially when we have a two-run lead in the sixth inning." Poised to strike Region 4's biggest upset of the year, Mountain Moun-tain View took a two-run lead to the top of the sixth inning, but Spanish Fork came back with four runs in the inning to down the Bruins, 12-10, on Monday afternoon. Spanish Fork used 10 hits, combined with 10 walkshit batsmen, bats-men, to outscore the Bruins in what proved to be a wild and unpredictable game. After Mountain View had retaken the game's momentum with five runs in the bottom of the fifth inning to grab a 10-8 lead, this is how Spanish Fork started off the top of the sixth. Walk. Walk. Hit batter. Base on error. "I think the turning point came when we were down and we got the first two guys (first three) on by walks or a hit batter. I think we swung a Timpanogos baseball throttles Lone Peak Russ Lyman NORTH COUNTY After a tough loss, teams usually either fold or use the setback to motivate them. Timpanogos did the latter in Tuesday's 16-3 romp over Lone Peak. "I just don't know of another more heartbreaking loss that hurt as much as Thursday did," coach Kim Nelson said concerning con-cerning last Thursday's loss to Spanish Fork. "So to come back and be ready to play, I'm really proud of them." Following last week's loss, the players stayed after to talk amongst themselves about what they would do to be successful suc-cessful from that point on. "I think that loss strengthened strength-ened us so much," said shortstop short-stop Bret Lopez. "We learned from that and we're going to not let that happen again."

"It's the type of game we generally don't win because our bread and butter is usually our pitching and our defense with a few timely hits. We were patient at the plate and they gave us a lot of bases and that's probably what cost them the game was giving us all those free passes." The Dons finished off the inning in-ning with an RBI single from John Wessel and a sacrifice fly from Kirt Daley to take a 12-10 lead. That was all Spanish Fork reliever re-liever Devin Nelson would need. He didn't give up a hit over the took the Knights to school in the win. The class was led by Lopez, who had a career day, going 4-for4 with a home run, two doubles, seven RBI and four runs scored. "See the ball hit the ball," Lopez Lo-pez said when asked what his approach was going into the game. "That's all I can say." Timpanogos got on the board first with a three run first inning. Following a Robby Carter walk, Taylor Lyons doubled and Lopez cleared the bases with his home run. "I think our energy was the key," Lopez said. "We know everyone in our region's way good." The game got so out of hand that Lone Peak substituted every ev-ery one of its starting position players in the fifth inning. Joining Lopez in the hit parade were Jordan Cooper, Coo-per, Carter and Lyons with three hits apiece. As a team, Timpanogos had 20 hits and before," he said. "There were some balls I could've come out on that I didn't and then I got lucky. But when I needed to, 1 came out and made saves."

"When you go up two runs towards the end of the game, you've got to be able secure that and let your defense work for you," Cooper said. "You're not going to win if you walk the first two guys in the inning when you just took a two-run lead. If we pitch well early or late, we walk away victorious. It's frustrating." The win helped Spanish Fork improve to 2-1 in region play while Mountain View dropped to 0-3. Mountain View proved why is will be a difficult matchup for seven doubles in the five-inning game. I Spanish Fork 9, Timpanogos 5: At Orem, considering that Brock Duke hadn't pitched in three weeks because of an ailing shoulder, Spanish Fork coach Jim Nelson would have been happy to get five innings out of his ace. He got a whole lot more than that in the Dons' 94 win over Timpanogos in nine innings on Thursday afternoon. After giving up only four runs over the first eight innings of his complete game victory, Duke came up in the top of the ninth with one out and the bases loaded with the score tied 44.
