Tbe result of the contest was that the Scots, after the 3 win over Carbon, move on to the state 3A tournament which begins today. If all preliminary indications had come true, however, it would have been the Dinos making the trek to Salt Lake for the first time in 11 years. There were circumstances that hurt the Dinos in the game. The first was the fact that the umpires from upstate were 1 hours late and the other was rain. I dont like to cry over spilt milk, coach Tony Pinedo said, but the umpires took this game away from us. Pinedo said the game should have been called at the top of the sixth inning when heavy rain started. They were more concerned with getting the entire game in instead of the effect it was having on Kirks (Reid) pitching, Pinedo said. Theres no doubt, it was taken away from us. But the really disappointing thing for Pinedo and the rest of the Dino squad is that teams that they beat all season, namely Payson and Pleasant Grove, won their playoff games and are in the state tournament. The Dinos led up to the sixth inning. In the first three innings, the Dinos were hard hitters and had chances to score but many hit into bad breaks. Carbon finally scored their first runs in the bottom of the fourth inning. With two outs, Dave Hreinson got on first on an error and then followed suit by stealing second. Senior Mark Olson was then walked and the two scored after senior Brian Finn hit a triple to right center field. The Dinos continued to score at their next turn at the plate. Mike Dimick Senior walked and then was advanced to second base on a sacrifice by Steve Cave. Dimick added the third run to the Dinos score after senior Bart Grubbs hit a single. The sixth inning was the inning that made all of the difference. Reid walked the first batter and it was then that Pinedo thought the game should have been delayed. Reid was forced to continue pitching a wet ball and walked another Ben Lomond batter. 5-- jr a; jlM . ssi '' "ir4l.i' i ffi!.T-iff?-- .

The Dinos had another quiet inning out six and walking four. Pinedo said he doesnt plan to file an official protest with state officials but he does intend to let them know his feelings about how the umpires cost the Dinos the game by being late and by not stopping the game soon enough in the sixth inning. I really think it was poor judgment on their part to let the game go on as long as it did in the sixth, Pinedo said. He added that the ones who really suffer from this are the kids who worked so hard and came so far this season. Theyre the ones that have to sit back and watch now.

Spring fishing is at its best Spring fishing is at its best and anglers are urged to take advantage of an excellent early fishing season for most lakes and reservoirs. Fisheries managers attribute the good fishing season to an early thaw and warm weather. Division hatchery workers rushed to stock lakes and reservoirs in April and now are beginning to stock streams. Water temperatures for most reservoirs are still cool and fish are feeding near shore. This makes for excellent shore fishing. It wont last long. If weather conditions remain warmer than average, water temperatures will begin war- ming and fish will move to deeper waters. V ' '4V |
