After losing the opening game on Friday night, the Riverton High School baseball team bounces back to beat American Fork twice on Saturday for the Utah 6A baseball championship.
Eric Butler | Special to The Tribune Riverton High School baseball players celebrate after beating American Fork for the 6A baseball championship on Saturday at Utah Valley University in Orem.If it was Riverton’s first baseball championship, and for that alone, the Silverwolves’ triumph over the field at the Class 6A state tournament would be remembered.
“Nobody has any idea of what the coaching staff and these players have gone through, no one,” said Applegate, who assembled his assistants around him for postgame interviews on the field of Utah Valley University. The score was 9-8 in that contest when Riverton then exploded for seven runs in the bottom of the fourth and eventually forced the 6A bracket into a winner-take-all finale following an 18-8 game that ended via the 10-run mercy run in the fifth.
“I hit it and the first thing I said was, ‘Get the F out, ball,’ he added. “Maybe I shouldn’t have said that, but that’s what I said. It left and adrenaline was high.” “Oh, jeez. Sam Beck, he’s an unbelievable player, really. There’s no words that I can say that can show the emotions I’m having right now,” Edwards said. “There’s no dents in his game. When he’s on, he’s the best player out there. It’s unbelievable.”
