Show Page 1C Lakeside Review Wednesday, June 26, 1985 Game North Pitchers Put On Hot Seat 4A-3- A u j All-St-ar All-St- ar 3A-4- A All-St- Despite the lopsided score it was an exciting game, according to Clearfield High baseball coach Ken Hicks, who assisted Ogden Highs Dave Nordquist in coaching the North Ryan Fisher of Clearfield started at first base for the North team, Robert Ferneau of Layton started in left field and Davis Greg Norton was inserted into the outfield at the midway point of the game. Even though the outcome of the game was decided with the Souths eight runs in the second inning, the final seven innings were filled with sparkling defensive plays by both teams and a continued impressive offensive showing from the South hitters, Hicks said. Going into the game I thought they might have a little better hitters on their team, Hicks said. The teams from down there have been hitting the ball well all year, and both the 3A and the 4A state champions came from the south. Teams like Bingham, and Cottonwood have been big hitting teams all year, Hicks added. As for the pitching, other than American Fork ace Steve Atkins, who struck out eight of the 10 batters he faced, the pitching staffs were comparable, Hicks game as has been played in the 41 year event. Meanwhile the North answered with a comparatively meager five hits of their own, producing one run when Ogdens Mark Heslop doubled with West Highs Jeff Takenaka on second base in the fifth inning. Takenaka made it to second after hitting a ground rule double off South pitcher Dave Day of Cottonwood. Thursday was a warm day for baseball game the at John Affleck park in Ogden, and the warmest place on the field was the pitchers mound batters put where South the North pitchers on the hot seat.

Their other pitchers were good, and they threw well Thursday, but they were not any better than the kids we had, Hicks said. Hicks attributed the lopsided score to a snowballing effect of some shoddy early pitching by the North starter, which gave the Souths strong batters a breath of confidence that they turned into a wind. I think they had better hitters than we had, but the score was not indicative of the difference between the two clubs.

Fishing success on most Northern Utah waters has been erratic the past few weeks. Exceptions have been a few places that were planted with exrainbow trout tra catchable-siz- e from state hatcheries. Among the exceptions were Ogden River and South Fork of the Ogden River. They were stocked with about 1,000 catchable trout each.

Causey Creek Reservoir has been seeing average pressure with generally fair success for anglers after rainbow, brown and cutthroat trout. Boat angleres getting back into the arms continue to take the most fish. Little Beaver Creek has been very difficult to fish with the water level low and the fish spooky. Little water remains open to fish without trepass permission. Anglers are catching some walleye and catfish from boats and along the shores of Willard Bay Reservoir, but the action is not fast. Baits have been best. Box Elder Creek has been poor and the Old Mantua Reservoir at the head of Box Elder Canyon is Pine-vie- w to good. Impoundments have been poor to fair with light pressure.
