Part of the reason for Bountifuls pitching problems is the loss of Scott Onley, who has a pinched nerve in his back and has been unable to pitch. Johnson said Robert a reliever, has been Bountifuls most effective pitcher, and said he had been using his son, Eric, to pitch. Bountiful will bolster its roster for the tournament by adding three players from the Automotive League to its team. Pitcher Chris Jacobs, Mike Larrabee and Timmy Smith will play the tournament.

Last weekend, Steven Foster of Layton did a or rewriting little writing of his own by winning the Regional .22 Caliber Silhouette Shoot in Fruit Heights. Foster hit all 60 targets for a perfect score, the first recorded in a sport that is gaining members in Utah and throughout the country. Foster also served as match director for the shoot. In silhouette shooting, targets are cut out in the shape of four animals: chicken, pigs, turkeys and rams. Targets are made out metal and the of quarter-inc- h object is to knock the animals off a rail, which are placed 25, 50, 75 or 100 yards away from the shooter. The targets ranged in size from Most shooters used a prone position called the Creedmore when shooting at the targets. Its a strange looking position, but with practice it provides a base which is stable. There were many classes of shooters and for different types of guns and most competitors went home with awards.
