LOGAN— With Region 5’s second seed up for grabs Friday, the Logan baseball team was looking to send its seniors off with a bang.

Weaver had another RBI on a double made by McKinlee Westmoreland, leaving the Bobcats trailing 2-0 by the third inning. Defense...

We did ok. We’re not used to being in that situation, but it’s good we got ourselves in that situation.” The Lakers took the lead on the second batter of the game after a lead-off triple, but the Grizzlies defense...
OGDEN— One day after disposing of Bonneville in five innings, the Sky View baseball team had a much harder time with the Lakers on the road. The end result was the same, however, as the Bobcats came away with a hard-fought 4-3 victory.

Sky View remained scoreless until the bottom of top of the fourth inning, before the Bobcat...

It was miscommunication, not talking.” With third-place...
SMITHFIELD— Coming off two disappointing loses – including a home loss to region bottom dweller Roy – the Sky View baseball team responded in a big way Tuesday, defeating Bonneville, 11-1, in five innings.
