Owlz make plays that count in win over Osprey

August 25, 2011

Reading Time: 2 minutes Wednesday night’s game was a television highlight dream.  Not because of the non-stop action, nor was it because of dramatic, last-inning heroics.  The Orem Owlz 6-3 win over the Missoula Osprey was a casual fan’s, ten o’clock news gem, because it could all be summed up in a few plays.   After Missoula took the […]

Reading Time: 2 minutes httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xGmPdd3EUY8&feature=channel_video_title   No official status on C.J. Cron’s gruesome right knee injury was given Monday night. What was said by multiple parties, however, was enough to know the Owlz are both disappointed and relieved at the same time.   The 17th overall pick of the 2011 MLB draft dislocated his kneecap in his first at-bat in […]

Owlz hold on to beat Chukars
