Sports writer A good old fashioned pitchers duel took place on the Carbon High baseball field Friday afternoon, and when the dust cleared. Park City had defeated the Dinos baseball team Troy Grundy, a sophomore, went the distance for Carbon and Park Citys well known senior, who quarterbacked the Miner football team to many victories 0. last fall, also spent the entire seven innings on the mound. Both also key hits for their teams, but Rogers hit drove in the Miners only run of the game which was enough to beat the Dinos in the end. Grundys first hit, a double, was a wonderful drive to left field, but no one else could connect within the inning so he was left high and dry on second base. For the most part, it was not a good day for pitchers to be throwing the ball. A cold wind blowhad ing from the to keep arms tight and the fear that that cold would cause problems for those arms had to be in both pitchers minds during the game. Nonetheless, neither relented, and until the end it was north-northwe- tt was crunch time when Jan Jorgensen headed into home plate at the top of the seventh inning after Jamal Lewis smacked out a single.

After Carbon went down without a hit at the top of the inning, Park City put a man on base with a single, and then Rogers drove him in. Carbon wasnt rattled, however, and as the innings went on they managed to hit more and more on the Miners senior by coach Lane Herrick to try a suicide squeeze play. But the bunt was nabbed and Greenwood was out. Anderson managed to make it back to third without damage so the Dinos still had a chance. Next up was Grundy, who had pitched 13 strikeouts with only two hits in the game. It was his turn however, to be struck out instead. Carbon walked away with another loss, but one against another very good team. Tuesday they lost to a 4A Spanish Fork team that has yet to lose a game and now to undefeated Park City. Rogers ended up striking out 14 Carbon batters, but had allowed one more hit than Grundy. But the fact the team took second in the Pizza Hut Classic in SL George a couple of weeks ago, shows how good this team can be. And they did play well on Friday evening, but the breaks just went the other way. Now it's time for a road trip to Montrose, Cola for the three game Montrose Tournament; one game on Friday and two on Saturday. Then the preseason will be over, on March 25, they will face Lehi for the first time as a regular league opponent in baseball at home. That's when this tough preseason will start to pay off. pitcher, while Park City hardly managed a hitting whimper after that score. Grundy either held them at bay or the Carbon fielding nailed them down. But the scoring drought was what hurt the Dinos. Everytime they got dose to getting past third they got stranded by Roger's hot curve ball. Then came the top of the seventh. Jan Jorgensen hit an infield single and made it to first base. Then Jeff Anderson bunted driving Jorgensen toward second. Park City committed an error on the play and that allowed Jorgensen to get to third base while Anderson took his place at . first. IB . It was then that Jamal Lewis came up and batted a grounder in the direction of the short stop. That hit drove Jorgensen toward the plate and it looked like the Dinos were going to tie the score, but Park Citys short stop grabbed the grounder and threw the ball to home. It reached the Miners catcher and home plate before Joigensen did and he was out. The Dinos had two more outs with which to tie or go ahead forcing the Miners to play the bottom of the final inning.

The Dinos hosted the Union High Cougars in what turned out to be a great day for soccer. The two teams battled for control of the ball while striving to score goals. Unfortunady for the Dinos, the Cougars completed the most goals with a final score of According to coach ltd Bianco, "we are a young team, so were still learning as we gaThis was evident at the game this past week. The team failed to maintain possesion ofthe ball for long periods at a time. Most of the i were turned over be-- 1 i ever nearing the Dinos goal. The weak baU handling isa factor 5--1. that Bianco feels needs to be worked on. "We struggle with ball control This will come about with experience however. Although our ball control is not where it should be, we have made improvements since starting the season. We will continue to work on these skills and when they come around, we will be an excellent team, explained Bianca The Dinos also need fo im- prove on defensive skills. During the game Friday, the Dinos struggled to take the ball away from the Cougars. The Dinos also failed to prevent several goals, leaving at many times, the Cougars, wide open to score a goal The Dinos defense also needs to improve on pressuring the offense. Several Cougars offensive series found the Dinos allowing the opponant to move the ball safely down the field, without any interference from the Dino defense. Despite struggling against the .Cougars, the Dinos did work hard. "I thmk they did a great job out there. The worked hard and competed with all they had.' You cant ask for more, stated Bianca The team has several factorsfo workon before being a strong competitor in the 3A division this season. The team seems to be working well together. This factor alone gives the Dinos an advantage over any other team that relies on primarily one or two players. In a team sport such as soccer, working well together is the main ingredient to success. Well continue towork on ball control along with improving our defensive skills. 1 feel that even thqugh we are struggling, the kids are all doing quite well, Bianco explained. The Dinos played Monday in a make up gnme against South Summit, a game which was origanlly canceled due to weather conditions that prohibited the travel of the South Summit team on March & The Dinos will then move on to compete against Rowland Hall in Salt Lake on Wednesday.
