Show Page 7 May 21, 1980 Sun Chronicle, Sun Times, Ben Lomond Beacon, Clearfield Courier Sportstacular By Bliss Fullmer Two walks, an error at second base, and a misjudged fly ball, all in the first inning, cost Clearfield a crack at playing for the Utah State 4A baseball crown. The Cougars capitalized on Falcon miscues to score two runs in the first and got the winning run in the fourth inning to beat the Falcons It was the same team that beat Clearfield in the opening game of the 1980 baseball finals, and the score was identical. The Falcons might have won either or both games with the right bounce of the ball. Clearfield scored on a single by Shane Openshaw in the first inning, followed by three consecutive walks, before Mike Labato grounded into a double play to end the Falcon threat. Clearfields second run came in the sixth inning, after Dan Perkins 3-- 2. walked, James Prothero was hit by the pitch, and Sane Openshaw hit a sacrafice fly. Openshaw collected two hits for the Falcons. The only other hitters were Brook Hicks (a double) and Dan Perkins, who legged it out on a deep drive to short stop. Nine Falcons were strike-ou- t victims to two Cougar pitchers, and Brook Hicks in going all the way struck out four Kearns batters. The Cougars scored three runs on four hits and no errors, and left seven men stranded on base. The Falcons got two runs on four hits, committed two errors, anft ten men on base. Clearfield lost its first and last game in the Utah State baseball finals, to the same team and by identical 2 scores, but in taking fourth place, Coach Ken Hicks was proud of his 1980 Falcons. Well be back next year, he promised. 3-- The changing sports Changing sports over the course of a year is much more prevalent with European athletes than in the United States. Many of them run, ski, and cycle over the whole competitive year and do well in all three. Often one sport contributes something useful to another sport that cant be obtained inherently within the sport. Cross country skiing used as an adjunct to winter running renews the spirit and restores emotional balance, in addition to physiological contributions. It is a respite away from the pressures of competition and the everyday sameness of training on the run. Looking at it another way mountain hiking, rowing, chopping wood, cycling, and swimming are examples of viable foundational activities for running. Even within the framework of the running program there is a more stepwise progression in workload when endurance and interval training are mixed. Too often we do the same kind of activity, and not only stand still in our performances, but we miss the enjoyment and revitalization that comes with doing something new with a different challenge. !.- - - season COmSS to close for Hicks and teammates Redskins edge Scorpions in thriller, 5--3 By Bliss Fullmer games Tuesday between Sand Ridge and Wahlquist and between Roy at In a see-saRoy played game Junior and T.H.
