Show Vikings May Have Turned the Corner : i& (- . J . ( ... fought back and scored five runs on six hits including two doubles dou-bles (Hooley and Broc Starr) and four singles, and a little more help from the Cavemen's pitcher. Note: (This is for anyone any-one that wants to be a pitcher when you grow up.) Once you put your foot on the rubber, you can't remove your foot unless you move it backwards off of it. If you make any motion forward for-ward without actually throwing the ball, you will be called for a Bock. That is a bad thing because the umps will automatically move any runners on base, forward for-ward one base. If there is a runner run-ner on third, he will advance one base-home. Score! So, just remember re-member this, "IF you're on the rubber, don't dance!" OK, back to the game, one of our runs in the fourth was the result of one of two bocks called in that inning. At the bottom of three, PG's up, 6-4. In the top of the fourth inning, AF added one more run and PG added two runs in the bottom of the fourth. In the bottom of the sixth inning, in-ning, Mr. Starr connected with a round tripper and as we started this report, we will end it as Mr. Jacobson also sent another shot over the fence. The final score was 10-5 forPG. These two teams meet again Wednesday, April 20, and again on Friday, April 22, at 4 p.m. The Cavemen are sitting in third place in region with a 4-3 by Kent Allen Slumps are no fun. They are easy to fall into but hard to climb out of. Hopefully, the Vikings are finally out of their slump and ready to get back to basics and winning again. Due to a Shawn Jacobson home run in the top of the 6th inning in-ning of the third Bengal's game, plus four more runs across the plate in that same inning, lead to the Vikings stealing a huge 10-3 win from Brighton High School last Friday. Tyler Harmon got the win after a solid five inning performance per-formance and Cade Hooley doing clean up duty to finish the game. Defense was the name of the game until the Vikings broke it open and effectively caged those tigers. With that win under their belts, the Vikings welcomed the Cavemen from American Fork and some welcome sunshine for this series of games. With Hooley on the mound, the Vikings went three up, three down on the Cavemen and then went to work on offense. The, Vikings didn't appear to lose a step as Riley Erickson slammed the first pitch of their at bats into a gap and the game started start-ed with a double from where he scored the first point of the game. The Cavemen came back by scoring four of their own runs in the top of the third inning, in-ning, jumping ahead, 4-1. Not to be outshone on this day, PG Shawn Jacobson bends the aluminum bat as he hits the ball against third place in region, American Fork. Jacobson 's shot over the fence helped PG go on to defeat the Cavemen 10-5. Photo courtesy of PicMyKid.com record and the Vikings have 4-6 record and hopefully heading in a positive direction. |
