"It was nice to have one lot of maturity," Moore said. "Only once did he look over at me and he just said he was all right. He understands the game and knows how to pitch. He threw a lot of strikes and kept us in the game." After the Bulldogs added a run in the sixth, Springville roared back as an error and two singles put one run across the plate and two runners on with just one out. Rhineer stayed calm and got the No. 3 Red Devil hitter to fly out and the No. 4 batter to ground out to end the inning. "He's a great pitcher," said Springville head coach Willy Child. "He kept us off balance most of the night. We made a few adjustments, but when you score seven runs against a pitcher like that, you expect to be a little closer." Provo ramped up the pressure again in the seventh as it used a double, a bunt and a sacrifice fly to put another run on the board. "We've done things like that well all year," Moore said. "The guys have bought into the philosophy of situational hitting and quality outs." A Springville error, two walks and a hit batter scored a second run for the Bulldogs and loaded the bases with two outs. The visitors appeared to be on the verge of blowing the game wide open when Rhineer smashed a looping drive to right center field, but Red Devil right fielder Mitch Kass made a great diving grab. The damage, however, had already been done. "Both teams made mistakes and it cost both teams," Child said. "They just cost us a little more." The home team needed a big inning to give themselves a chance, but couldn't get going as a hit batter was their only success at the plate. Provo was led by catcher Matt Griner, who went at the plate with two RBI and two runs scored. Springville first baseman Jeff Boyd was to lead the Red Devils. are The Bulldogs (144, e now a up on Payson in Region 7 and will face the Lions on the road on Monday, but Moore was quick to point out that his team can't look past Orem on Friday at 3:30 p.m. "When you look at the parity in this region and the number of close games, we can't be pointing to Monday yet," he said. will look Springville (8-to get back on track when they host the Tigers on Thursday at 3:45 p.m. 7-- half-gam- 6-- I Jared Lloyd can be reached at jlloydheraldextra.com.
