In a Timp Colt League exhibition game played at American Fork's Rotary Park May 31, the Pleasant Grove Red Sox defeated the American Fork Yankees 7-4.
Neither team could score in the first inning. However, in the second inning, Pleasant Grove went on a scoring spree. In the top of that inning, a Corby Tanner single led to the Red Sox loading the bases on no outs. A Spencer Meyers walk scored Tanner and set off a seven-run rally. During it, McKay "Ice" Bice and Campbell Donaker each singled in a run.
Hitting a double in the bottom of the second, Mikey Hugely soon stole home for the first Yankee run during two outs.
American Fork held Pleasant Grove scoreless through the rest of the game. In the bottom of the third, Logan "Wazzie" Wasser singled on two outs into left, but he got stuck on base.
The son of former American Fork High wrestling stat girl the Beautiful Angie Manning, Ricky Smith got on base through an error in the bottom of the fourth. With Matt Hugely singled advancing him into scoring position, Smith stole home. So did Hugely and Dave Bretty. Pleasant Grove shut American Fork down after the fourth inning.

In a season-ending, boys' club soccer game, the Lehi Pioneers, AKA the Froggies, defeated West Jordan's Club USA 3-0 at Lehi May 24.
The two club teams comprised of players, who had gotten cut in tryouts for high school soccer teams last February. The coach for the Froggies' high school team, Jerry Prisendorf showed up to see how the castoffs from this season's Lehi soccer tryouts fared out on the AstroTurf of Pioneer Stadium.
One particular Froggie that caught Prisendorf's eye was Jaden Scholes. Backed up by his teammates, he came up with breakaway plays that determined the game's outcome. Late in the first half, for example, he scored a goal on a breakaway play. A younger brother of Lehi Froggie girls' soccer player Makala Kauffman, Chris Kauffman scored a goal in the first half and another one in the second half to put the game away for Lehi/
Lehi goalie Trevor Hillock held Club USA scoreless in both halves. Hillock's performance didn't discourage Club USA's Brady Thorne and Jacob Bowers from putting much pressure on the Lehi defense. Backed by Froggies like Tanner Gines and Kallen Abo, the Lehi defense held well.
Lehi Coach Tom Corbitt, who had coached the Froggies to a 1998 state 3-A boys soccer title, said, "Our defense played really great, and Chris Kauffman knew how to finish his plays."
