Show The Emery County Review, Tuesday, June 24, 2008 A7 SPORTS Softball league offers competition and comedy Josie Luke Though at times it became difficult to judge whether the Men’s Summer League softball game between the Johansen and Tuttle team and the Crazy Bass team was a softball game or a comedy act between players and the umpire, it nonetheless featured both superb defensive play and ample, sometimes powerful offense. In the first inning, Johansen and Tuttle quickly took advantage of three errors by Crazy Bass, scoring three runs on a walk and one hit. Their opponents followed, scoring one run when after singles by their lead-off man Colten Miller and third batter John Conder, Johansen and Tuttle’s center fielder made and error of his own, misplaying a line drive off the bat of Justin Ward. Johansen and Tuttle’s bats came alive in the top of the second, when the team scored four runs on three singles and a double by Scott Stilson, in a total of seven trips to the plate. In the bottom of the inning Crazy Bass managed to score two runs, when Skylar Carpenter placed a hit over the second baseman to bring in Dusty Jensen, and Cash Potter hit a single to bring B Kinoshita home. With the score at 7-3, Johansen and Tuttle stretched out their lead after their first two batters of the inning, Jared Norton and Chad Lake, reached base setting up a string of RBIs for four of their teammates, Justin Johansen, Jordan Leonard, Jarett Gilbert and Todd Huntington. An error and a single through the gap later, the team had built their lead to 12-3. Holding Crazy Bass scoreless in the bottom of the third, Johansen and Tuttle added two more runs in the fourth. Their opponents matched their output in their half of the inning, with one run scoring on Leonard’s RBI double over the center fielder, and another run coming in when a hard line drive hit Johansen and Tuttle’s pitcher, Norton, halting the jovial tenor of the game. He quickly assured everyone he was fine, and ended the inning by drawing a quick out. Three more Crazy Bass errors in the top of the fifth put Johansen and Tuttle up 16-5. So, in order to stretch the game out another inning, Crazy Bass found themselves needing to at least score two runs in the bottom of the fifth. With two out and a runner on first, Jensen smacked a hard ground ball past the third baseman, putting Ward in scoring position. Aaron Fausett then hit a single to left field, bringing in one run. But the team was unable to score another, and the game ended with Johansen and Tuttle winning by a score of 16-6. The Johansen and Tuttle team scored 16 runs on 14 hits in the game. Bohn plays on All State Team Photos by Josie Luke Emery Telcom Tournament Wade Bohn, a recent graduate of Emery High, participated in the 3A versus 1 and 2A All State football game held at Photo courtesy of Roxanne Noyes Cottonwood High School. Bohn, who was a first-team all state pick by the Salt Lake Tribune and Deseret News, led the Emery Spartan football team this past season with 51 tackles and 27 assists. After three days of practice in Logan, he played defensive tackle during the June 21 game, which the 3A team won 20-8. Bohn said that it was a great experience and he was glad he was able to play, but revealed that it was “really hot” with temperatures reaching the 100s. Employees of Emery Telcom recently took part in a four-man scramble golf tournament at Millsite Golf Course. The tournament has become an annual tradition for employees, who along with vying for the team championship, also compete for the longest drive and longest put of the day.
