Syracuse Police Chief Garret Atkin said the tip came into his detectives on Wednesday, stating that the illicit event was planned for just after midnight inside the Syracuse 6 Movie Theater at 2428 West 1700 South. A search warrant was obtained and early Thursday morning Syracuse officers, members of th...

It happens to them all. A fastball over the middle of the plate. A hanging curveball. A changeup that doesn’t fool someone. Then it happens. Bye-bye. Ding-dong. Home run. It’s the most humbling part of the game for a pitcher, so imagine how Syracuse pitcher Jason Jourdan felt when he gave up two grand slams in the first inning of his first varsity start. Every pitcher gets rocked at some point. It is how a pitcher responds after a bad start that determines his success. “It was hard what happened...

Orem • Syracuse won the Region 1 title and came into its game against Bingham as the state’s hottest team, having won nine straight games. But the Titans met the streak stopper Tuesday afternoon — Bingham pitcher Chase Tavonatti.

Syracuse • Spencer Johnson had a little more left to give when he was called off the mound in the sixth inning Wednesday. The Syracuse senior only had allowed one hit. But he wasn’t sweating his substitute, Jordan Cobabe. Along with fellow pitcher Jason Jourdan, the Syracuse stars have been friends on the diamond since the third grade. Johnson was confident the slim lead the Titans had over defending state champion American Fork would hold. “I felt like I could’ve kept going, but I knew Jordan h...
