However, as most young teams do, Pleasant Grove let the Bruins back into the game. Neither team managed runs in the first inning. For the Vikings, Kyle Beecher opened strong on the mound and didn't let up until he was replaced nearly near-ly six full innings later. Mountain View did get the first runs of the game. In the top of the second inning, the Bruins opened with two base hits that were converted into runs and a 2-0 lead. . 4 ' a swing during a victory 23.

Hoyt later scored thanks to an Alex Iorg single. Iorg has been one of the top Viking hitters to this point in the season and his RBI hit was as big as they get as he helped his team even the score. The Vikings took the lead in the bottom of the third inning when Dallin Wimer nailed a big double that drove in two Pleasant Grove runs. With the two-point advantage, the Vikings appeared to relax and begin playing for fun. Though no runs were scored in the fourth and fifth innings, Pleasant Grove looked comfortable and probably thought they had the game well in hand. That was until the top of the sixth inning when errors snuck up on the Viking defense and allowed two Mountain View runs that evened the score. No need to worry, this group of Vikings know that errors bounce both ways and they took advantage of the Bruins Bru-ins and their two errors. Wimer opened the bottom bot-tom half of the sixth with a walk. A throwing error by the pitcher put the Vikings in scoring position. A second consecutive throwing error by Mountain View's pitcher allowed Wimer to cross the plate for the go-ahead run. Hoyt also crossed the plate thanks to a head's-up hustle play, and as quickly watching enthusiasts are becoming very excited with the opportunities that await. Frank Howe, coordinator for Partners in "Flight, discussed dis-cussed their patterns, "These birds fly, or migrate, from their wintering areas in Mexico and other warmer places to Utah. Some of these species of migrants may also be year-round residents. res-idents. "It's not uncommon to see American robins and black-capped black-capped chickadees during the late winter months and then hear and see more of them during springtime," he said. Cecile LeBlanc, wetlands specialist from the Division of Wildlife Resources, continued, con-tinued, "The international migration of hundreds of bird species connects Utah with Central and South America. For instance, the same oriole seen nesting in Utah this summer may have spent the winter in Costa Rica. "These migratory birds travel thousands of miles to winter in the south, then return to Utah's wetlands to breed and raise their young. All types of wetlands are important to birds," she -said.

Ryan Kendall finished fin-ished off the Bruins in the top of the seventh inning as Pleasant Grove came up with a key region victory. Monday afternoon the Vikings forgot to show up against the Tigers. Orem jumped out to an early 1-0 lead in the first inning. After a respectable one-run inning, Orem put their scoreboard to the test in the second inning with seven runs. The Tigers batted through their lineup in the inning and forced a Pleasant Pleas-ant Grove pitching change. While the Vikings were giving giv-ing up runs left and right, they could not find a way to get on base. The Tigers limited Pleasant Pleas-ant Grove to just five baserunners the entire game as the Orem pitching staff gave up just two hits. Orem put the game out of reach for good in the third inning when they added three more runs to the scoreboard. The 11-0 Orem lead put the Vikings in danger dan-ger of their first double-digit double-digit defeat in many years. After the fifth inning ended without Pleasant Grove managing a run, it became official that the Vikings had suffered their first ten-run loss in more than five seasons. The defeat left the Pleasant Pleas-ant Grove coaching staff speechless as they went without a post-game conversation con-versation with their team. Instead the players were easy to find streamside woods, are particularly par-ticularly important for willow wil-low flycatchers, yellow-billed cuckoos, and common yel-lowthroats yel-lowthroats which, because of declining populations andor ranges, are listed as species of special concern. "Several other species, like the northern (Bullock's) oriole, broad-tailed hummingbird hum-mingbird and the lazuli bunting are still abundant, but at risk because of the loss of wetland habitats in North America and the tropics," LeBlanc said. Howe noted that migratory migra-tory bird viewing is typically typical-ly only minutes away from our homes. "Riparian areas with a stream and its associated asso-ciated foliage of willows, cattails, trees and grasses are ideal for birdwatching statewide." Backyard feeders can attract some surprising visitors vis-itors this time of year. For the more venturesome, particularly par-ticularly good viewing areas include wetlands surrounding surround-ing Utah Lake State Park, Rock Cliff Nature Center at Jordanelle State Park, various vari-ous areas along the Jordan River, and the marshlands near the Great Salt Lake.
