Week 2 in the Super league and the YoungGuns found themselves in Kearns. After somewhat of a rainy week, the original field in South Jordan was rained out so the games were moved to Bruce Field in Kearns. This field was created by the people in the neighborhood to keep their kids busy and out of trouble. While the place seemed a little rough, it was easier to understand why once you knew the back story.
The Young Guns faced the Grantsville Cowboys in the early game. After watching the Cowboys decimate the team from Park City right before us, we weren't quite sure what this team was all about. However, the YoungGuns played hard and were in the game for the entire time. If it wasn't for a few errors and some calls that didn't go our way, we would have beat them pretty easily. However, when it was all said and done, the Cowboys beat the Young Guns 7 to 6. It would be nice to get a second shot at this team again.
In the late game, the Young Guns took on the Salt Lake Black Sox. This was a pretty good little hitting team. They were able to put the ball in play but the Young Guns worked hard and led most of the game. There were 2 stand out players in this game with a big shout out to Teague Lovell and his awesome catch and throw to first. It looked major league. Then we had an outstanding inning from that giant of a player Dillon Brown. The Black Sox couldnt believe that he could catch and had to give him three different shots and getting them out. Dill rose to the occasion and was a superstar with his catch and throw. However, when it was all said and done, we ended up back where we were last week with a tie. This is not the way we wanted to end it but with good defense at the end of the game from both sides. 10 to 10 was the final score.
