For the next five innings, she scattered just four singles and forced the Bruins to hit numerous numer-ous ground-hall outs. "Thai's been her problem (struggling early)." Andrews said.

Timpanogos' hot bats come alive late in victory over Ramona High Russ Lyman NORTH COUNTY After a one-game hiatus, the Timpanogos bats came back to life Tuesday against California's Cali-fornia's Ramona High School in San Diego. Although the T'Wolves pounded out 11 hits, none was bigger than Mitch Foster's pinch hit in the top of the seventh. With the game tied 6-6, Foster's Fos-ter's hit gave Timpanogos the lead for good in what ended up being a three-run seventh, as the T'Wolves won, 8-6. In addition to the big final inning, the Timber wolf bats also got hot during the four-run four-run fourth inning. Brett Lopez got an RBI triple which was followed by a two-run blast by Rhett Nelson. The outpouring of hits was a welcome sign to coach Kim Nelson, especially against a pitcher of the caliber of Ramona's. "The pitcher that we faced was a good pitcher. He threw hard, probably upper 80s-90s," Nelson said. "It was good to not only face a good pitcher, but to have some success." Timpanogos eventually opened up a 6-2 lead before the Bulldogs stormed back with a four-run fifth, highlighted by a three-run home run. In addition to Nelson's big day at the plate, he also came up big on the mound. Nelson relieved Croft and held Ramona Ramo-na scoreless over the final two innings to get the win. "This was a really good team. Croft pitched very well, but got a little tired," Nelson said. "Rhett came in and did really well in the late innings." The win showed the T'Wolves' resilience by bouncing bounc-ing back after a tough loss. "Yesterday we just didn't hit at all, it wasn't a typical game for us," Nelson said. "This team that we played was a very good high school team, but we made some plays de- wish dill would ) I Yyawish I could haw Whata O heard everything S . r. - o tnatwassaid I rewind fensively, hit the ball, and had good pitching. It was good all the way around." As region play gets set to begin be-gin next Tuesday, Nelson hopes that the trip to San Diego will provide his team with an advantage advan-tage after playing high-caliber teams with quality pitching. "It's been really good so far because these are teams similar simi-lar to what we're going to see in our region," he said. "We've seen good pitching, and guys who can swing the bat." After returning home, the T'Wolves will travel to Layton for a game on Saturday before beginning region play against Spanish Fork on Tuesday.

Although it's not as catchy as the Las Vegas motto, Timpanogos baseball coach Kim Nelson would like his team to adopt it following the T'Wolves' ugly 8-6 win over the Silver Wolves after a two week layoff. "It looked like we hadn't played for a couple weeks. We made some baserunning mistakes, mis-takes, and there were some things that hopefully we can just leave there at that game," Nelson said. "We had more errors er-rors in that game than in the 4 Spring Ahead to the Habitat for Humanity Restore! OUTLET PRICES on T New fir.

Following the first inning, it appeared as if the T'Wolves would pull off an easy win after their first five batters reached base safely en route to opening up a 3-0 lead. However, How-ever, Riverton battled back with the benefit of a pair of questionable calls and took a 5-3 lead going into the fifth inning. It appeared as though the fifth inning would be yet another an-other goose egg on the board for Timpanogos with two outs and two strikes on No. 7 hitter Christian Stewart. Stewart battled back in the count and earned a walk. Rhett Nelson followed Stewart with a hit before second baseman base-man Jordan Cooper drilled a two-strike pitch into the right-center right-center gap to plate Stewart and Nelson and tie the score 5-5. Taylor Lyons then delivered deliv-ered a hard-hit single up the middle to score Cooper, putting put-ting the T'Wolves ahead to stay.
