Woods Cross, who finished as co-champions co-champions in the Northern Division, Divi-sion, came away big winners taking a 7-2 victory from a solid Murray club. As for the bad news, the Braves of Bountiful had a terrible second inning and simply couldn't rebound as they took a 9-2 loss at the hands of a strong Cottonwood club. The win sent the Wildcats up against Tri-Cities in the winners bracket while Bountiful was to test Brigham City in the losers bracket. Both games were slated for earlier this week at the Kearns ballfield. WOODS CROSS 7 MURRAY 2 All the talk prior to this battle was about the Murray pitcher, Keith Chapman who had beaten Taylorsville earlier this season. After Af-ter the game there was more mention men-tion of Kelly Fredrikson, the Woods Cross hurler, than of Champan. KELLY KEPT the Murray hitter guessing at the plate the entire game as he struck out 10 in route to the complete game win. Chapman had his troubles in the very first inning as he walked Kevin Cullimore, Mike Dalley and Fredrikson to load the bases. Rick "Pig' Forsgren then stroked a solid single to drive in the first two runs of the game. WOODS CROSS actually put this game away in the third inning as they scored three more runs. Kelly Fredrikson, that man again, singled. Brad Larsen then followed with another hit. In between hitters both runners advanced via the wild pitch. With Kelly on third the hitter squared for the si; icide bunt but the pitch was well over everyone's head allowing Kelly to trot horrre for the Cats third run.

COTTONWOOD 9 BOUNTIFUL BOUNTI-FUL 2 Ever have one of those innings where nothing goes right for your club and nothing goes wrong for the other guys. Well Cottonwood put together an eight run second inning to take charle of their game with the Braves. IT WASN'T shabby fielding by the Braves just the fact that the Colts teed off on everything the Bountiful pitchers threw to them. Before it was over the Colts had hammered two home runs, both with men on board, to go along with numerous other hits. Take that one inning out of the game and these two clubs were pretty evenly matched. The bottom bot-tom line though was hitting, and Cottonwood did more of it than the Braves, wbountiful could only manage five hits. on the day with the big blows being a home run by Bruce Riddle and a double from Tony Butler. Dusty Jacobs, Mike Neuteboom and Billy Goldstrom collected the other three hits, all singles. CHRIS Jacobs started on the mound for Bountiful with Robert Thompson coming on in relief. Thonpson held the Colts to just one run over the final five innings. , . v 'r v '"''' - iTu 'A-Hf-.' On!'- 1 ''; it'i " - -------- - - - |
