Bountiful

Following a bye in the Regionals round of the 5A state tournament, Bountiful faced East in the Super Regionals. On May 19, the fourth-seeded Redhawks defeated the Leopards 8-0, going up 2-0 early and putting more runs on the board as the game went on while shutting East out.

Bountiful pitcher Eva Stoddard recorded 15 strikeouts in the win while Malissa Turpin drove in four runs with a four-for-four performance and also “playing outstanding” at second base, according to head coach Butch Latey. “East High didn’t help themselves with six errors,” he also noted. Athena Tongaonevai, Shiloh Johnson, Katelyn Rodgers and Claire Yates also drove in runs in the win.

In Game 2 against East May 20, Bountiful won again in shutout fashion 10-0, going up by six runs after three innings and adding four more to close out the game.

Stoddard threw another gem from the mound with nine strikeouts in another two-hitter outing  Tongaonevai got things started offensively for the Redhawks with a two-run home run in the first inning with Ella Miller (three RBIs), Isabeau Huff (two), Yates (one) and Turpin (one) also contributing.

“The ten runs scored were done by every girl contributing with a hit,” Latey said.

Fourth-seeded Bountiful faced Wasatch May 24 in bracket play in the final week of the state tournament.

Viewmont

After a series sweep over Maple Mountain in the Regional round of the 5A state tournament, 15th-seeded Viewmont lost to third-seeded Uintah 21-13 May 19. The Vikings came out strong with three runs early but gave up 14 runs to the Utes within the first three innings – while scoring six. Viewmont continued to find ways to put runs on the board, but Uintah scored in every inning to take the win.

“We hit the ball pretty well, but we had some very uncharacteristic errors,” said head coach Stacie Toney. “We’re excited to get back at it again with Uintah. These girls aren’t done.”

Kennedy Embrey led the Vikings offense with five RBIs along with Oakley Sovic, Karli Dickerson and Jena Eggett (two RBIs) and Anna Moore (one).

In Game 2 against Uintah May 20, the Vikings lost 11-1. Viewmont was down 10-0 after three innings and Sydni Steed’s RBI in the final inning helped the Vikings avoid the shutout.
