The hrfme team looked shocked. Trqy Grundy the sophomore pitcher on the mound at the time, and who had had suchatremendoosyeai; also looked a little rattled. But it was understandable. Fbr various reasons Grundy had not pitched in a game in almost three weeks and the rust was showing through the paint But Grundy and the rest of the Dinos also knew that they could get out the sand blaster remove that old rust and put a bright shiny Qnlsh on the game in the end. And they did. The Emery team and crowd were energized by that first inningand it tookalittle while for the Dfnoe to slow the Spartan's train down and speed theirs up. Carbon did manage one run in their half of the first inning making the score the second liming but Gniniys pitching and soma good day by the entire team kept another rnnaway inning ApdnKmay from happening However they still hadnt found their bats yet and didnt score a run in the second. In the third the tide started to turn as the Idds from Carton held Emeiy once again to one run, despite the fact that they threatened to score more add were able to bring in one run themselves, making a 2 score. The fourth inning was scoreless for both teams tyt everyone could feel Carbons energy starting to build. Off in the distance a thunderstorm was gathering too. As Emery took the field on defense, the stormy skies began to open up and it began to rain a little. Then it began to thunder and lightning and the game was delayed for a few minutes. Itwas almost like that delayjust pushed the Carbon batters over the top.

In Bports, enaction plays agreat deal in howagame comes out And sometimes when a team is dealt what seems to them to be an unfair blow; thqy take the power of that anger out on the other squad. Hurt was the case as astrong looking Carbon baseball team ripped up the field on May 4 as they downed the Dixie Flyers in an 11-- 1 decision that only wmit halfway into the fifth inningbefore it was overt The Incident that turned loose the animals happened in the third Inning when Carbon catcher Zac Cloward decided he needed to talk with pitcher Troy Grundy and walked out on the field to do so. However the umpire, didnt signal time and Dixie's head coach, Randy Green, who was acting as third base coach told a Flyer player to head into home while the two Joy Mining were meetingnear the motmdf' The player came in and chaos broke out on the field. The umpire claimed that Cloward had not told him he wanted time called, but Cloward said he had. The umpire ruled that the run counted and Carbon was assessed an error on the scoreboard for the situation. Carbon's coach. Lane Herrick argued profusely with the officials about the call, but the umpire did not budge. Carbon players were infuriated. They groused around the dugout with long faces and angry eyes, even though they were still ahead 1 and thingB were looking good fbr than. But it did give Dixie a glimmer of hope, and that jvaa not what the Carbon squad wanted. ' So the Dinos Just got together and used the anger in another way, they took their bats and destroyed any dreams Dbde had of advancing to the state tournament In Spanish Fbrk. An apparent break isnt always what it seems. The 0une began with Carbon opening up with big bats in the first dace, so an incident like that was not something Dixie needed. In the first inning Carbon pounded in three runs:. Then, in the fourth with lire in their eyes, they hit in two more runs. Once again the Dinos held Dbde scoreless in die fourth inning and then went on a 25 minute long tear batting in six runs, making it possible for the Dinos to win it In five innings based on the leagues 10 run rule. Almost everyone on Carbon's team registered outstandingplay Grundys pitching improved with every game. In this contest he threw a twobitter and at times seemed to throw so hdrd he almost burned alude in Clowards catchers mitt Cloward did a great Job catchingln the contest, but he also was a key batter as he drove in three runs mi a triple and a home nuL Blake WQde also smacked in a home run in the game. "Im not sure what happened when the umpire ruled on that tinm out play safe Heirrick oh Mondaymorning"! think hejustfbqjot that Zac called time. He never gareasignaL But that situation put the fire in the furnace. Look what Cloward did when he git up to bat right after their part of the inning. Overall the team amassed 14 hits in the win. !
