Craig Sudbury and Trent Dea had the Pirate hits. Lefty Paul Allen didnt pitch badly either, but had started a 262-668- Tooele Blanks Murray MURRAY. We just couldnt get the timely base hit when we needed it and they did, commented Murray high baseball coach Bill Sieben-burfollowing his teams 0 loss to Tooele Tuesday. We had nine men on base in scoring position, but couldnt bring any of them home. The shutout loss left the Spartans with a 5 league record, needing wins Wednesday over Judge (played after press time), today (Thursday) with South and Monday with West to make the cut for state. Fortunately, those games are slated for Ken Price. Both the South and West games will start at 1 p.m. Against the Buffalos, Murray had the bases loaded twice, had men on second and third twice and men on first and third twice, but it seemed the Spartans just couldnt buy a run. Tooele opened with a solo home run in the third, scored twice in the fourth on two singles and a double and notched its fourth run in the fifth aided by a Murray error. Both teams had seven runs and both two errors according to Siebenberg, Murrays all singles. Jason Soffe went 2x3 and Brent Bailey 3x3 for the Spartans. Sophomore pitcher Chad Forrest continues to impress, Siebenberg reported. Forrest did give up seven hits in seven innings, but he struck out eight and surrendered just two walks. g 4-- 2-- 1 . . . |
