The first out in the bottom of the fifth came during the tenth visit to the plate by a Union batter. Charlie Jackson used his body to get on base. He was hit by a pitch. Brian Ballou, Union's catcher, burned Fudge Peterson, Uintah's starter on the mound, for a double, and then Uintah replaced Peterson with Corey Kebert, who was greeted with a lightning strike of doubles by Preston Marx, Parker Morrill and a two-ru- n homer by Rick Rasmussen. 5-- 4-- I Marxs base hit scored Jackson and pinch runner, Matt Werry, which gave Union a 5 lead.

Unions Morrill had a one, two, three inning to lock up the the 13-- 8 win for the Cougars. By the way, Union could have had much more than just nine runs in the fifth.
