Tim Chambers, Clark Hill and Charley Baldridge helped the Rebels win four of five games in the two-day double elimination tourney played between the leagues top four teams. On Friday, Dixie upset Snow but then lost a 10-8 game to College of Eastern Utah. Starting at 10 a.m. on Saturday, the Rebels knocked Snow out of the tourney by beating the Badgers 4-2 and then handed C.E.U. their first loss 12-3. Hill and Chambers picked up several hits each during the tournament and Hill caught four of the five games over the two days. In the final game, Chambers the designated hitter, had a home run and Baldridge caught a sinking line drive for the final out. Going into the tourney, Utah Tech had the best record with Snow second, Dixie third and CEU fourth. The third and fourth place teams ended up playing for the title. In all Dixie played for eight straight hours on Saturday to win the championship. Doug Allridge pitched the second game of the final day, going seven innings to beat CEU. Then the Dixie coaching staff decided to start the final game with Allridge on the mound and the young right hand hander just kept going. He went on to pitch the entire second seven inning game. In 14 innings, Allridge gave up just six runs. Dixie will play this weekend in Arizona in a regional junior college tournament.
