In Timp Colt League play at Pleasant Grove's Manila Park June 2, the Pleasant Grove Red Sox wiped out the Pleasant Grove Rangers 15-0.
Red Sox Austin Butler got the blowout started with a two-run single that launched a six-run rally for his team in the top of the first. By the time the Rangers finally shut the Red Sox down for the inning, the visiting team had acquired the momentum needed for making the contest a really short affair.
Although leadoff Ranger batter Buddy Hamblin got on base through an error, he got snagged in a double play resulting from a catch of a Caleb Conn fly ball. Jayson McKuen got on base via a walk, he got nailed in a fielder's choice play turned up by second baseman Weston Barnhardt when he scooped up a ground ball hit by Jerrick Simpson, a "distant cousin" of TV character Bart Simpson.
In the top of the second, T.J. "Wbirl" Wind hit a solo homer over the center field fence to set a half-hour rally that produced nine runs for the Red Sox. During that rally, Barnhardt tripled in a run and Korby Tanner doubled in another two. The Red Sox didn't let a single Ranger get on base in the bottom of the second.
Even though Campbell Donkersgood hit single that enabled the Red Sox to load the bases in the top of the third, the Rangers finally held them scoreless. In the bottom third, Speedy Chandler and Ben McGee each singled, giving the Rangers their only two hits of the game.
Because of the Red Sox's 15-0 lead, the game got called after the third inning.

In the bottom of the first, Cowen "Impact" Bagley got on base through a walk, and he soon stole home to set of a five-run rally for the Pirates. They got a one-run double from Trevor "Petey" Pettit and a one-single from Jack "Rojo" Lopez.
Holding the Angels scoreless in the top of the second, the Pirates staged a 12-run rally in the bottom of the inning. Bagley opened the rally with a one-run double. American Fork also got singles from Payson "Payday Murdock, Landon Hoops" Hall, Petitt, Bunker, and Ty "Twelve" Gage.

In Pony League play at American Fork's Bus Manning Field June 3, the American Fork Cardinals pulled out a 10-9 win over the Lehi Dodgers.
As they would say at Lehi High, the game was quite riveting -- correction, ribbiting. The Dodgers showed why they were anxious to play baseball for the Lehi Pioneers, AKA the Froggies, within a few years from now.
Hitting an infield single at the start of the game, Ty Wilde soon scored on a Jacob Managum sacrifice groundout. Colt "Forty-Four" Hatch tripled into left, and a Jake Peterson double scored him to improve the Dodgers' lead at 2-0. Pitcher Braige Damon, a "distant cousin" of Hollywood actor Matt Damon, struck out Jackson Hinckley, a "distant cousin" of late Mormon Church Gordy Hinckley, to retire the Dodgers to the field.
Getting on base through a walk in the bottom of the first, Damon stole home to set off an eight-run rally for the Cardinals. During the rally, Bryson Jex and Mason McQuivey each singled in run for American Fork.
With Damon letting no Dodgers get on base in the top of the second, American Fork saw Jaxton Cook slug a left-field double in the bottom of that inning and score a run during a fielder's choice play that claimed teammate Dylan Chesney, a "distant cousin" of country singer Kenny Chesnety, at second base.
Lehi refused to get washed out of Bus Manning. Hatch singled in Mangum during the top of the third and then scored on an error at third. Hinckley soon stole home on two outs soon afterwards, cutting the lead to 9-5. Zack Lind singled into left, hoping to keep the Dodger rally, but Damon grounded out to shortstop Chesney.
The Dodgers held the Cardinals scoreless in the bottom of the third, and in the top of the fourth, Mangum smacked a one-out single that scored the Wilde boy. Mangum soon stole home, heightening the Dodgers' morale. After Brenton Sudderd had doubled into left, Jake Peterson singled him in, and a Lind single scored Hinckley for the tying run.
On two outs in the bottom of the fourth, Chesney singled into left, and Cook batted him in for the winning run.

In the top of the fourth, the Yankees finally receive a chance for scoring runs when Grizzly Bryson, Sir Action Jackson, and Mod Ian all got on base through walk. However, the White Sox defense kept the Yankees from bringing in runners in.
