Maple Mountain Martial Arts tournament held Courtesy photo WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS: The 8 year old Spanish Fork X-Treme baseball team have entered three baseball tournaments this year and emerged as champions of all three tournaments. The first tournament was in St. George, March Madness. The X-Treme played the Lehi Tigers for the semi-final and pulled out a win by only one run. They then played the St. George Roadrunners for the Championship. They won that game 13-2! The second tournament was a local one, Salem Spring Training. The X-Treme played the Salem Slammers and won! The latest win comes from the Memorial Day tournament. Once again the X-Treme needed to beat the Lehi Tigers to get into the Championship game and they played the St. George Roadrunners for the BIG win! Congratulations to all of the 8 year old Spanish Fork X-Treme team & coaches!
