Though some team members are playing baseball for the first time, the Astros spark with energy, determined to take on anything that comes their way this season. Minors ST. LOUIS CARDINALS: The Cardinals are six games into the season sea-son and these arent chickens, folks. During their first win of the season, the Cardinals were flying to the bases, leaving clouds of dust in their trail. The Cardinals took advantage of an opportunity to learn fundamentals funda-mentals from retired professional ball player Steve Garvey. The players play-ers are learning how every position is the "most important" because each belongs to the team. Coach Doug Steckbar is pleased with the team, saying, "We are finally playing Miners win awards Continued from B-1 prove it wasnl a one-year wonder. After a 16-4 regular season and an undefeated region campaign, the Miners went from unknowns just a couple of years ago into a burgeoning burgeon-ing 3A baseball power. Much of the credit goes to seniors Rogers, Tyson Jones, Alex Finston and Mitch Arnold. "The seniors 1 had, the team I had for two years, 1 really believe that they have set Park City on the 3A baseball map," Strader said. "They've just really helped the program." pro-gram." Probably none more so than Rogers. A lefty, Rogers was 8-1 with a save this season, striking out 85 batters in his 60 innings of work. His ERA was a miniscule 1.17. He also batted leadoff for most the season. Rogers, who was a finalist in The Salt Lake Tribune's Male Athlete of the Year award, was named to the first team in both papers. Jones, one of the steadiest shortstops short-stops in the state, made second team in both papers. He was joined on those squads by Finston, a catcher with speed who led the team with five triples. Arnold, who doubled as a pitcher and first baseman, was named honorable mention in the Deseret News. Roger and Jones were also named academic all-state for having a grade-point average of at least 3.95. "Brandon is just one of those kids who will be very difficult to replace," Strader said. "His character and demeanor, his attitude is always Little Leaguers as a team." ARIZONA DIAMOND BACKS: No dust eating for these Diamond Backs this team is all about keeping the game fun. "Hitting the ball is the most fun," said 13-year-old Diamond Backs player Britton Buford when asked what he enjoys most. Buford, who mans third base, likes to play during the summer, but may consider pro ball someday. "Our biggest emphasis empha-sis is to teach self respect and team respect," say coaches Cindy Akana and Troy Buford. "We want the kids to walk away learning how to work as a team." Pee Wee OAKLAND ATHLETICS: Having fun and learning a little baseball base-ball cover the goals of the Oakland A's from now through June 29, and each game these 11 ball players obtain that goal. "We are very impressed with the team," said the Oakland coaches. "Last game we there, his willingness to help the younger guys ... is going to be tough to replace." Softball After not winning a game the previous season, the Miners went 11-4 11-4 and qualified for the state playoffs an amazing turnaround that was powered by a team that believed in itself and a freshman pitcher who made her mark on 3A softball. While Somer Flores was overlooked in the postseason awards, her play this season certainly caught the attention of her opponents and her pitching usually caught them off guard. While Flores wasnt named all-state, all-state, the states coaches did notice Berry s accomplishments. The teams leadoff batter, Berry had an amazing .482 batting average who coach Jenni Jellerson said could do it all. "She's a very versatile player," she said. "She can bunt, slap, hit for power. She's just an all-around excellent excel-lent athlete." Joining Berry on the all-state teams were teammates Alissa Smith and Chelsea Steinbach, who were both named second team all-state. Smith led the team in extra-base hits and played superb defense in center-field, center-field, and Steinbach was one of the Miners' most clutch and powerful hitters. "It's a good thing for our program. pro-gram. It's good for the players to get recognized like that and it definitely shows those girls worked hard and improved," Jellerson said. "I'm really real-ly excited we had some girls to represent rep-resent our school and our region." (St by Jessica Trobaugh continue progress got three outs in one inning." The A's are four games into the season. CHICAGO WHITE SOX: Nothing short of bleach will keep these hard playing White Sox clean. After four games, the Sox players have proven their skills, hitting the ball hard and fast. Rarely are they taken by surprise during a game. "I have a 9-year- old boy," says coach Jeff Weiss, "and I want to be part of his life." Weiss has coached for four years and is still addicted to the sport. The White Sox have seven highly anticipated games left in the season. BOSTON RED SOX: Bold and eager, the Red Sox are socking it up with "great hits," according to coach Greg Pack. Fielding skills keep the team on their toes as they improve with each game. "We would really like to keep the whole team together togeth-er through high school," Pack said. Tee Ball CALIFORNIA ANGELS: With four games under their wings, the 13 Angels players are almost ready for the Major Leagues. Running to first after each hit keeps these Angels busy as they strive for their big goal having fun. "It's not just the kids in the game," say coaches Sue Clifford and Dave Dinger, "parents are here too." Clifford and Dinger have noted the tremendous support from parents, appreciating their ever-present willingness to help. OAKLAND ATHLETICS: Coach Marc Steinhilber and the Athletics are enjoying a terrific season. sea-son. "Everyone is doing super," Marion oversees golf Continued from B-1 golf community, just across 1-80, Promontory felt it had to distinguish itself from its neighbor. The Pete Dye course being built into the sides of hills and at the bottom shallow valleys is one difference. The Jack Nicklaus course on the south side of the 6,500-acre property is another. And Melisa Miller, marketing manager man-ager at Promontory, says Marion is yet another. Marion's status as a master pro "is unique," Miller says. "Thats why we're so excited to have Michael on board," she says. "He really blends in well with the philosophy of the whole property. Its definitely a unique difference with Promontory." Marion doesn't flaunt his advanced training. Instead, he likes to stop on the cart paths above the Dye course and marvel alternately at the view of the Wasatch to the west and the way the hole down below will play.
