When American Fork took a 6-0 lead over us in the first inning, we had to wake up. American Fork hit the ball well. That's what hurt us. "They hit the ball into the holes. That put heat on our team. We overlooked American Fork, concerning ourselves more with Springville. We were unwise to overlook American Fork. They taught us a lesson." The game opened with pitcher pitch-er Jenny Scoville walking Autumn Carter. Julie Paxman tripled Carter in to unleash the six-run rally, fueled by four singles. sin-gles.

They open the playoffs play-offs at home Friday at 4 p.m. Against Region 5's number tjhree seed. On May 2, the Vikings blanked Payson 5-0 and then followed that up with a 2-0 shutout of Spanish Fork on Thursday to end the regular season. In Tuesday's game, Brian Kennington scored two goals to help the Vikings cruise past Payson 5-0. Zach Shore, Mark Thurgood and Chris Harvey also had tallies for Pleasant Grove in the victory. The shutout against Spanish Fork on Thursday did not come FT- . .y ' IK PG and Spanish Fork players vie for the ball Thursday. very easily for the Vikings. In the first half, Pleasant Grove had many shots on goal, but the Spanish Fork keeper, Ryan Warner, continued to come up with stop after stop. One of the save attempts Warner had in the first half actually resulted in a goal for Pleasant Grove. Warner made a diving stop, but Viking Dave-Donaldson Dave-Donaldson came up and kicked the ball right through Warner's arms for the only goal of the first half. The second half belonged to Viking goalie Ryan DeGraff. He was faced with many shots, but like Warner in the first half, DeGraff came up with save after save when the ball came his way. It also didn't help Spanish Fork much when many of their free kicks directed at the goal ended up wide. Pleasant Grove earned an insurance goal in the second half by Zach Shore to give them the 2-0 victory. The win also marked the third straight shutout for DeGraff and his fourth of the season. Pleasant Grove coach Billy Lynch knows what's needed with the playoffs around the corner. "We have a lot of work to do. It is back to the gravel pit on Monday. We can play better than we did today (referring to the Spanish Fork game). You have to give Spanish Fork a lot of credit; they did not let us do a whole lot of stuff. They played well," Lynch said. "I am proud of the boys, they kept coming back after a disastrous disas-trous start of the season. Now we have to step it up for State," Lynch said.
