Bingham played Uintah High of Vernal on the Bingham dia-mond Thursday at 3 p.m., in a game supervised by the Utah High School Activities Assn. This was a quarterfinal affair in the state championship race. As for the Monday game, the Miners bashed out 18 hits in pushing across their 18 runs. Larry Stillman held the Summit Division champ Morgan crew pretty much in check as he al-lowed but three hits, one of these a triple to Pete Peterson, Mor-gan's shortstop. Bingham's Jordan Division winner wasted little time in tee-ing off on the Morganites as Ron Boren cracked out a homer in the first inning with one aboard. Then in the second. Coach Bailey Santistevan's bunch broke the tilt wide open with 12 runs on nine hits. In that second inning, Sonny Robertson, Bingham's classy shortstop, hit one of the longest doubles in the school's history. He picked out one of Morgan's pitches and crashed out a hit which carried out near the goal post but the ball bounced over the fence. The umps gave Sonny a double on the play. The blow was estimated at 385 meet and Robertson was almost around third when the ball took off down the hill on the other side of the Miner gridiron. Larry Johnson also helped the Bingham cause as he lashed out four hits in five trips to the plate. John Arritola, Bingham's first baseman, got himself three for four and Robertson ended up with two for three.
