He retired Provo in order in the seventh and struck out two of the three batters he faced. "I'm not surprised. He worked hard all off season. There's not a better kid in the valley as far as heart and integrity. He deserves everything," said Orem coach Gary Miner. "Mentally, that's the winning point right there. When the world is collapsing around him, he just goes out there, does his job and stays focused. Other guys were getting a little bit rattled in the second inning when they scored three runs, but he just took a deep breath and got back out there. They didn't threaten after that." The Bulldogs felt like they could have beaten Adamson, especially with the effort they got from their starting pitcher, Brad Rigby. Rigby had his way with Orem, allowing just two hits through five innings. His only mistake was walking in two runs in the second. Despite spotting Orem two runs, Provo regained the lead second that with a three-ru- n was highlighted by a Scott triple, but that's King two-ru- n all Provo could get off of Ad P E JM amson.
