The Park City Miners baseball team is off to a 5-10 start this season after a challenging non-region schedule. The team has split their first two region games, including a 12-3 win and an 8-6 loss against East High School in a Thursday doubleheader. Despite the slow start, the Miners remain focused on their goals of winning the region title and making a run in the 4A state playoffs.

Why it matters

The Miners were looking to build on back-to-back region titles, but their tough early-season schedule has resulted in a subpar record so far. However, the team remains optimistic and is determined to turn things around in the second half of the season and secure a playoff berth.

The details

After going 3-8 in non-region play, the Miners have rallied to a 2-2 record in their region games against Cottonwood and East. In Thursday's doubleheader, the Miners won the first game 12-3, with strong performances from senior Alex Brannigan, junior Cole Hill, and sophomore Brooks Baganz. However, they lost the second game 8-6. The team is now 5-10 overall and ranked 22nd in the 4A classification.

  • The Miners have 10 games remaining in their regular season.
  • Park City will play a two-game series against Murray on Tuesday (home) and Wednesday (away).
  • The Miners won back-to-back region titles before the current season.
