Show PG A's Finish 2nd in Timp Colt League Playoffs by Dean Von Memmott With some now former Pleasant Grove Viking players play-ers on their roster, the Pleasant Grove A's took second in the Timp Colt League playoffs. In the tournament's championship game at American Fork's Rotary Ro-tary Park July 14, the American Fork Cardinals defeated the A's 11-3. Doubling in the top of the first, Pleasant Grove's McKay Hartle scored the game's first run on a steal. American Fork answered it with a five-run rally started by Taison Smith's one-run one-run single in the bottom of the first. While holding the A's scoreless in the second and third innings, American Fork tacked on another four runs on a Matt Ludlow homer and two doubles in the bottom of the second. The A's held the Cardinals scoreless until the fourth when Ludlow held a two-run. Pleasant Grove didn't let the Cardinals make any further runs. In the top of the fourth, Pleasant Grove's Austin McDonald Mc-Donald knocked in two runs on an in-the-park homer. Hitting a fifth-inning single, teammate Zach Lewis scored on an American Amer-ican Fork error. In the seventh, Lewis singled in University of Utah-bound Sefa Tonai, who had hit a right-field double at the start of the inning. The A's couldn't overcome the Cardinals Cardi-nals stiff defense. |
