No, former Caveman star Austin Haws didn't petition the UHSAA for a fifth year of eligibility. This time it was younger brother Gentry Haws making the big play. With the score tied 5-5 in the bottom of the seventh inning. Mountain View's Sam Roeden came to the plate with two outs and runners on first and third. Roeden hit a line drive into shallow right field that looked like it would drop for the game-winning hit before Haws came in to make a diving catch and force extra innings. "That's just Hawsy being Hawsy," said American Fork pitcher Taylor Mangum. "1 came in after the inning and was like 'I love you Haws', and he said 'I got your back Mango.' That's just kind of what our team's like, we're backing each other up and it feels good." American Fork took over in the extra frame by capitalizing on Bruin errors, .lake Murphy and Josh Monnoy each reached on errors with one out. After Andy Lewis walked to load the bases, Nate Pin 'her hit a tailor-made tailor-made double-play ball 1o short, but Ronnie St rauss's throw to first was low and got away from Collin Mangum, allowing Murphy to score the go-ahead run. "That's about as dose to winning win-ning a game as you can come without winning." said Mountain Moun-tain View coach ( hi is Cooper. "Two feet the oilier way and the game's over." Farly on, it looked like the Cavemen would have an easy victory after scoring live runs in the first three innings 1 he 5-0 lead appeared to be more than enough with are layl'M' Mangum dominating on the mound for the first thice innings. in-nings. However, the Bruins battled back. Taylor Gartclt, who went .X-for-'l. led off the fourth inning by crushing a double into the left center gap.

Zac Petersen laid down what looked like a sacrifice bunt, but the ball squirted by the charging Goose Kallunki to put runners on first and second with no outs. Josh Swenson came through for the home team, hitting a hard ball down the third base line. The ball took a wicked hop over the glove of Kallunki to drive in Christ-offerson Christ-offerson for the 2-1 win. "Swenson hit the ball hard down the line and that's a hard play to make for anybody," Gleaves said. "That's the way it is. When you keep putting the ball in play, good things happen sometimes. Fortunately enough good things happened for us today." A crazy bounce in the top half of the sixth inning set Orem up with a 1-0 lead. Jordan Jor-dan Johnston hit a line drive to center field that took a 10-foot hop over Christ offerson, a defensively de-fensively sound center fielder. Johnston ended up with a triple and was driven in by a Harrison single. "The bad bounce in center definitely was able to get that guy to third and help them out," Gleaves said. Healey and Adamson each pitched a gem. Healey allowed six hits and si ruck out seven. Adamson gave up six hits and kept the Pioneers off balance all game. "C.J. pitched anothet great game for us and we played some great defense behind him," Gleaves said "( )i em's pitcher (Adamson) threw a great game, he mixed it up and had some good off speed stuff and they played great defense behind him." Christofferson would have had a few web-gem nominations nomina-tions from the I '.SPN ci ew if it saw the highlights of this game. On a handful of occasions, occa-sions, he chased halls down in the outfield that should have dropped for extra base hits. He bad a diving catch to rob Jordan Sargent of a hit in the second inning In the third inning, he caught a ball on a dead sprint to the gap in i ight field to ro!) Brandon Petersen. "Ryan is a great outlieldei ." Gleaves said "He gets a great jump on the ball and reads 1 he ball really well and our defense has been really solid so far t his year and he's a big reason why. He roams out there really well " Orem 000 Letii 1)00 A!;nnMn hih.
