I cant remember a time when Ive had more fun coaching, Olsen said. , - Clearfields coach Ken Hicks was a bit more reserved about his teams performance, but was satisfied with the Falcons showing despite 21-- 6 final loss to Granger. We finished in the top six and thats about where I thought we were in terms of talent, Hicks said.

Against Cottonwood, Bountiful had picked up one run each in the first, second and fourth innings and held a tenuous 0 lead after the top of the fifth. But in the bottom of the fifth the Colts, who had played nearly two complete games without scoring a run, found their offense and scored four 3-- 4-a- 3-- . times. The Braves didnt score in the sixth but got .three runs in the seventh. The Colts added two of their own in the seventh also to push the game into extra innings.

By beating Cottonwood the Braves won the right to face Taylorsville, which they took into extra innings before falling 1 4. Tim Smith, Bruce Riddle and Mike Laraby swung the bat well for the Braves. Each of them went 4 for 5 at the plate during at least one game of the tournament.

We made some big errors early and it just snowballed. Our pitchers started out throwing good, but when you dont get the outs, they have a hard time keeping sharp, and it becomes a vicious circle.

The Braves opened with a loss to Granger but then beat Region 4 rival Davis 12-- 5 in what Bountifuls Olsen said was one of his teams best offensive showings of the year.
