Show State baseball underway Braves, Vikings hope to advance By Thursday evening, weather permitting, the field should finally i be set for this year's 4-A state base ball playoffs. Three local teams were schedule for action Wednesday Wednes-day and Thursday afternoon, in the inter-region playoffs that will determine de-termine the eight teams entering this year's double-elimination tournament. Region champ Bountiful will host Kearns Thursday at 3 :30 p.m. , while second-place finisher View- mont was to host Cyprus yesterday afternoon and third-place Davis travelled to Granger. On Monday, Woods Cross looked like it was going to upset the Braves and thus force a playoff for the third state berth. The Wildcats took a 10-5 lead into the bottom of the seventh at Bountiful, but the Braves came up with six runs, including in-cluding the game winner when sophomore Sherif Hadley scored on a wild pitch, to win 1 1-10. That meant both Viewmont and Davis were assured getting into the playoffs, but their contest Tuesday was still important in determining seeding for state. Viewmont beat the Darts 4-1, thus taking second and earning the home field advantage advan-tage for the inter-regional game. So the winners of those first round games will advance into the eight-team tournament which begins be-gins next Tuesday at Derks Field. Games will then be played Wednesday at Ken Price Park in Murray, and the remainder of the tournament will be played after that at Derks. Schedules will appear in next Tuesday's Clipper.
