That first game was lost to another accelerated team named the Colorado Buckaroos, 3 to 1 . The Steelers had to play and win their next seven games to play in the Championship game. The team is to be complimented on all of their players. The girls really played great offense and defense. Natalie Scott pitched four straight games, including the championship game and the "if" game. The girls really became solid in their second, game in the tourney with their offense. They were, according ac-cording to coach Julie ' Anderson, "unstoppable." The other two coaches of the team, Glen McMurtrey Mc-Murtrey and Mike Gordon, have been proud of the team this season. The Steelers have had a very successful season this year, winning first place in the Brigham City Tournament, first place in the Sandy City Fourth of July Tourney, second place in the Jr. Timp Classic in Pleasant Grove and second in the Utah State Tournament. The coaches would like to express their thanks to Heber and Doris Baker for sponsoring the team for the past two years. Bakers are owners of P.G. & Superior Plate and Cutting of Lehi. The coaches would also like to encourage the community to help with contributions to help the girls get back to the Nationals in Kansas. |
