Show WedThursFri, March 27-29, 2002 The Park Record B-5 Miners finally knock off rival Utes Continued from B-1 Mitch Arnold pitched six strong innings in the loss, scattering seven hits and allowing four earned runs, and Park City used a combination of timely hits and gutsy baserunning to almost steal the win. But errors committed by Jones who made an crucial out in the bottom of the fifth when he threw out Fred Ferguson to end the inning with a runner at third and Gross allowed Skyline (3-5) to escape with a win. "We beat ourselves," Stradcr said. "Skyline definitely did not beat Park City today." But Stradcr and his seniors simply sim-ply shrugged it off, chalking the game up to a glorified scrimmage. "All I- look at it, is practice," Stradcr said. "It was a chance to get outside, see live pitches and work on our defense." Even with the errors. Park City's was impressive Saturday. Along with his run-saving out in the fifth, Jones helped Arnold with a 1-2-3 fourth inning on three straight groundballs. The outfield of Gross, Rogers and CJ. Davis made several tough catches catch-es in windy conditions, and catcher Callahan ends season Continued from B-1 appointing her teammates in the final competition of the event, the relay. "My worst fear was that I was going to ski slow," she said, "and let the team down. That's probably why I skied so fast." That, and another fear this one of getting trampled in the mass start. Starting the first leg of the relay for the first time, Callahan asked for advice, and her coach simply sim-ply told her to get out in front to avoid any tangles. T was afraid of getting knocked over and getting beaten up," she said, adding the strategy to fire off the starting line as quickly as possible possi-ble was sound. "I guess it worked." Callahan jumped out to an early lead in the first leg before falling down to fourth place. But instead of focusing on the disappointments from the two previous races, she dug deep inside and crossed the finish fin-ish line in first, giving her team a lead that would eventually result in the gold medal. "It was a good way for- her to end the week after a couple of disappointing disap-pointing races," John Callahan said. Standing with her teammates on the We Revitalize with a Relaxing Massage!

In all. Park City did what it needed need-ed to do until the sixth, when Jones had trouble fielding two grounders and Alex Duncans single got past Gross, allowing Taylor Pcndley to score the game-tying run. "Everyone makes errors," Finston said. "I'm going to try to shake this one off." Jones said, "and not worry about it too much. I'm just going to leave it on the field and realize that even good teams get beat on any good given day. I'll learn from it and play better." Jones was far from the contrite, humbled player he was Saturday after helping the Miners beat Uintah. When the Utes actually made contact against Rogers, Jones was there for the easy outs. At the plate, he led Park City with a 3-for-4 aftermxin. After the win, "I was ecstatic," Jones said. "I was out of my head. It was so great to beat them. They're supposed to be our toughest matchup." match-up." Friday, the Utes simply couldnt hit Rogers. It wasn't until a soft single sin-gle into the gap in the bottom of the podium was an overwhelming experience. expe-rience. "After an emotionally and physically phys-ically frustrating couple of days. I knew I didn't let the team down and helped accomplish our goals." she said. With that win and some of the humbling experiences she faced this winter like finishing well behind the pack in the Scandinavia Cup races, which she called a definite ego blow" Callahan will enter next season stronger and better prepared pre-pared than when the first snowstorm snow-storm hit back in November. "It's opened my eyes." she said, adding the biggest lesson - she learned was never to quit. "There are always a ton of second chances just because you had a bad day doesn't mean you're a bad skier." Three other members of the Park City Nordic Team competed in the Junior Worlds. Casey Simons, who competed with Callahan in Norway this winter, Aaron Forsythe and Scott Allen all made the trip to Idaho.

' can help you. j" sixth that Uintah finally ended Rogers' nohit bid. "I knew it was going on but it didn't did-n't change anything," he said, adding that while Uintah didn't seem stunned at the kws, the Utes were certainly relieved to have gotten that one single. "They were really happy they got a hit." Stradcr says the Utes appeared intimidated before Rogers even Uxk the mound, and as his left-handed left-handed ace mowed down batter after batter, he was confident the Miners would break their long losing streak against Uintah. "He had their hitter f(xled pretty good." Strader said. "They're a pretty pret-ty good hitting team but Brandon had them on their toes." Like Rogers. Strader believes the region-opening win Friday should propel the Miners through the rest of the season with the caveat that Park City can't take Wasatch or Judge lightly. "The UtesJ were going to be our stiffest competition. To start off with a win against them is definitely a good start," he said. "It's definitely a good win and makes us feel gtxxl right off the bat ... but we can't let down against anyone."
