Show Mas Team Won Big State Tournament United Baseball Association tournament action started Monday the 9th, up State. And all the action came from Atlas Minerals, Moabs first place little league team! Atlas cleaned up that week and came home as very happy first place champions! First Western West-ern also went to the tournament tourna-ment as Moab's second place team. Coaching the First Western team was Roy Daughetee. His boys put up a fine effort and proved to be some hot competition for the opposing teams. First Western lost then-first then-first game to Orem 1 ' in a nerve-racking five to four. Their second game proved to be more encouraging with a fourteen to eight win over Orem American 1. Though they put up a good fight, First Western couldn't quite stick in there. They lost to Spanish Fork 3, fifteen to seven. The two losses put them out of the tournament. Coaching Atlas Minerals was Kenny Roberts. His boys just wouldn't be beat. They won their first game with a score of fourteen to four over Pleasant Grove. For their second game they played Orem and won, eleven to six. Atlas hung in there and pulled off another win over Payson. The score in that game was fourteen to seven. In the fourth game they came out victors over Ephraim with 1 another fourteen to six point win. Atlas still wouldn't slow down.. They cleaned up on Pleasant Grove 1, leaving the final score at five to three! Thirty-two teams competed in the UBBA tournament. This is the first time in two years that Pleasant hasn't held the championship. The tournament tourna-ment ended Friday the thirteenth, thir-teenth, supposedly an unlucky day, but not for Atlas Minerals. Congratulations to ' some great ball players and fine coaches! |
