Summer baseball for Trojans continues as varsity, JV teams pick up wins

With one week of action left to go in the Morgan Trojans’ summer league season, all the attention will soon turn to football. 

For now, baseball is still king in Morgan County. 

Ironically, both the Varsity and JV teams have 3-5-1 records going into the final week of action. 

The Trojans varsity squad lost by the score of 6-16 at Jordan on June 17, suffered a 0-7 setback to Clearfield at home two days later, and closed out the week with a 3-12 home loss to Bountiful on June 20. 

But, the next week went much better for the Trojans, as they defeated Roy 8-7 on June 24 on the road and then followed up that victory by holding Bonneville to a 6-6 stalemate. 

That gave the Trojans varsity their first tie of the summer league season as they’ll wrap up summer league play this week with three straight-away games: at Cedar Valley July 8, at Weber on July 9 and at Grantsville on July 11. All games start at 6 p.m. 

For Morgan’s JV squad, it’s safe to say that they’ve been involved in some slugfests this summer. 

The Trojans younger players started off the middle portion of this summer league season with their bats a-blazing as they barely lost an 11-13 decision at Jordan June 17. The next game on June 19 was less than ideal as Morgan lost 1-5 to Clearfield at home. 

However, the Trojans JV bounced right back the next day on June 20 in a home shootout that ended tied 7-7 against a good Bountiful squad. 

The next two games would be on the road for the Trojans JV, but they were nonetheless entertaining. Morgan would lose 9-11 at Roy on June 24. 

Morgan [3-5-1] gave Bonneville all it could handle before losing, 9-10 to wrap up the middle portion of play for the Trojans JV team on June 27. 

Like the Trojans varsity, the JV will wrap up play on the road with three games at the same day and time against the same opponents as the varsity squad, two hours earlier at 4 p.m. 

Meanwhile, the Prep team of eighth and ninth graders continued their summer league season as well, as the Trojans lost 4-7 and 1-13 to Syracuse and Woods Cross at Morgan High School on June 17. 

On June 21, the Trojans Prep team was back on the field for a doubleheader at home against Corner Canyon. Morgan lost each of its games by the scores of 5-11 and 4-18. The Trojans prep team then wrapped up the middle portion of their schedule with a 2-14 setback at Ben Lomond. 

The Trojans prep team will have five more chances over the next two weeks to get their first win of the summer league season; their record currently stands at 0-7. λ
