PCHS completes comeback after falling behind 3-0 A level of intelligence equal to the elevation GRIFFIN ADAMS The Park Record In the sixth inning of Thursday’s mid-afternoon contest with Tooele, Park City High School senior Sam Starley recorded a single. After he connected with the ball on his swing, the outfielder held his hamstring, as he gingerly ran out of the box and rounded first base. It was clear the tendon was bothering the senior, so Head Coach Dave Feasler went out to check on Starley. After determining he was in too much pain to run the bases, Feasler opted to bring in pinch runner Evan Pointer. “I had to take him out,” Feasler said. But Starley’s stay on the bench wouldn’t last long. His number was called again in the eighth inning after neither team could come out on top in regulation. The teams were tied 4-4. Coming off of the bench with the bases loaded, the senior came through in a clutch pinch-hit situation by driving the ball deep to center. It remained in play, however, and the Tooele centerfielder caught the ball. But the ball was deep enough for Max Mobley, who was on third base, to tag up and reach home safely, allowing the Miners to squeak by the Buffaloes 5-4 at Park City High School. “It speaks to the kid,” Feasler said. “We asked him, ‘Hey, can you swing the bat and not run?

As big as Starley’s hit was, Feasler cited the plays made before the walk-off sacrifice fly, which included big bunts by Ryan Brady and Ben Agnew — with two strikes, nonetheless — to advance runners into scoring position, as the real reason why Park City walked away victorious. “It really came down to execution,” Feasler said.

After giving cycle Re PARK CITY U tah up three runs in the first three frames — allowing Tooele to build an early 3-0 advantage — Strader settled down by not allowing a run the rest of the way.
