May 23, 2001 Baseball and Softball teams wrap up season The baseball and Softball seasons sea-sons didn't end with state titles for Timpanogos, Orem or Mountain Moun-tain View, but the three schools still had many positives as their seasons wrappKl up last week. Timpanogos and Mountain View both fell out of the Class 5A baseball tournament on the same day, against the same team. Timpanogos was ranked No. 1 in 5A for most of the season, but an early-tournament loss to Copper Cop-per Hills put the Timberwolves in the one-loss bracket of the double-elimination double-elimination tournament, facing a must-win game every time. The Timberwolves responded with two big victories. Eric King picked up a win against Viewmont early in the week, throwing seven innings and giving upjust five hits as Timpanogos won 4-2. Chris Carter's two-run double in the fifth proved to be the difference in the game. The Timberwolves then came up against defending champion Taylorsville, the team that denied them the title last year, freshman Mac Nelson pitched a complete game and the T-VVolves pounded out i.'l hits to beat Taylorsville 1 1-7, 1-7, advancing to the second-to-last day of the tournament. Meanwhile, Mountain View had come up with two big victories in the first rounds of the tournament, tourna-ment, including a stunning victory vic-tory over Taylorsville at Taylorsville. That left the Bruins starting the final week of play in the winner's bracket, matched up against the same Copper Hills team that had handed Timpanogos its first tournament Mountain View's LaHargoue BY PATRICIA KNOELL Times Reporter After five years and (luce top-three top-three finishes in the state tournament, tour-nament, Mike LaHargoue has decided de-cided to bring an end to his tenure ten-ure as Mountain View High School's softball coach. LaHargoue will continue to teach and to be the head girls' soccer coach "Being a full-time teacher and coaching two sports was getting to be too much for me," LaHargoue said.

Travis Gillespie had an KBl double and Josh Stringham added a run-scoring single in the first inning. Stringham drove in another run in the fourth. Copper Hills tied the score in the fifth, and could have won it in the seventh with a long blast by Drew Larsen. But Mike Robertson hauled the ball in near the wall to save the game temporarily. tempo-rarily. But in the bottom of the eighth, Copper Hills loaded the bases on a two-out walk, a steal, an intentional inten-tional walk and a third-strike passed ball. With the next batter facing a ',-2 count, the umpire called ball four, allowing the game-winning run to walk in. "He (the umpire) could have rung him upjust as easily," Mountain Moun-tain View coach Chris Cooper said of the play. "It was a tough spot for everyone to be in." Copper Hills got only two hits offstarter Stringham and reliever I levin Albrecht, but the Bruins committed three errors and the walks hurt. The loss sent M.V into the one-loss one-loss bracket the next day, scheduled sched-uled to play the survivor of the Timpanogos-West Jordan game. And West Jordan pitcher Brandon Christiansen proved to be too much for both Orem schools. First, Christiansen threw a complete-game three-hitter against Timpanogos, beating the Timberwolves 1-0. Timpanogos gave up just six hits, one a second-inning homer to Geoff young boys, ages five and nine and 1 want to spend more time with them. 'The nine-year-old is beginning begin-ning competitive soccer this fall and I just felt it was time be more a part of my kids' lives." LaHargoue is also working on his masters degree a time consuming con-suming activity that he cites as one of the major things that made him decide to give up the softball head job. Since becoming head girls soccer soc-cer coach at the school 1 1 years ago, LaHargoue has been involved in more than one sport every year. Pmissisns & cy : 3 Wolfgramm, which was all the scoring in the game. That loss eliminated Timpanogos from the tournament. The Timberwolves ended the season with a record of 21-6. After beating Timpanogos, Christiansen took the mound against Mountain View. He pitched another complete game, giving up just two hits, as West Jordan beat the Bruins 5-2. Mountain View played errorless ball, but simply couldn't get the bats working. That loss eliminated elimi-nated them from the tournament. "We were picked to finish fifth in our region and no one had us coming this far," said Cooper of his team, which came on strong in the latter part of the season with a bunch of big wins. "The kids battled and we eliminated a couple of good teams." In softball, Orem and Mountain View both had losses early in the tournament, and ended up playing play-ing each other in the second week of the tournament in an elimination elimina-tion game. The Bruins stayed alive in the tournament with an 8-0 victory. Chelsie McWhorter had an RBI triple for Mountain View, and Tiffany Strickland was 2-for-4 and also drove in a run. Mountain View had nine hits, while Orem had three, but the Tigers played errorless ball. However, the Bruins couldn't sustain the momentum. In their second game of the day, they lost a 2-1 decision to Viewmont in an extra-inning marathon. Viewmont scored in the bottom of the ninth on an RBI single from Chelsea Niborg. hangs up softball spikes He was assistant to Dave Wooley in boys soccer for several years. Then he worked with Jeff Gustin as an assistant baseball coach before be-fore being asked to take over t he softball team five years ago. "I remember when I took over the team, I think they hadn't won any games two years before and had only won six or seven games the year before and we won the region title my first year that was something special," he said, when asked what his most memorable memo-rable moments as softball coach were. He also recalled with fondness fond-ness a second-place and two third-place third-place finishes in the state tournament tourna-ment with great fondness. "I remember we went through the preliminaries undefeated twice, then lost on the final day and finished third both times, so we didn't even get a trophy," he recalled. "Then in 1999, we went through the losers' bracket and finished second that was another an-other great memory." Coming into softball as a baseball base-ball player, LaHargoue said the hardest thing about the transition has been trying to figure out the subtle nuances of softball pitching. pitch-ing. "It's a fun game," he said. "It's different from baseball, but it's enough similar that I didn't have much trouble picking it up. The mos frustrating part is the pitching. pitch-ing.
