Bingham Baseball wins 22nd State Title Deseret News May 26, 2018 OREM — It took Bingham coach Joey Sato about two seconds to decide who would take the mound for his team, right after taking a shocking 7-0 loss at the hands of Riverton on Friday. The decision was rather obvious, given the Miners' pool of prominent seniors, and one in particular who has led the team all year long. As usual, the prominent senior responded. Derek Soffe pitched a complete game shutout for the Miners, allowing just five hits and one walk while striking out nine, helping secure a 9-0 win over Riverton along with the program's 22nd baseball state championship. "There wasn't any discussion on that one," Sato said of the decision to use Soffe for Bingham's first elimination game of the 6A state tournament. "He's going to have the ball and let's go because he's going to be ready." Indeed the decision was easy, considering Soffe leading the team in both batting and hitting throughout the year....

   The Bingham Baseball Team Is Looking for Bingham Canyon Mining Hard Hat To All Bingham Alumni: The Bingham Baseball team would like to acquire an actual Miner's hard hat that has been used in the Bingham Canyon mine. We want to use it as an icon that would symbolize a tie to the beginnings of Bingham Baseball started by Bailey Santistevan in Bingham Canyon and also be a reminder of the hard working, blue collar work ethic that we want our players to have. We also will use it to symbolize some of the culture we try to build within our team of selflessness and toughness. If any alumni have a Miners hard hat that was used in the mine and would be willing to donate it to our program we would very much appreciate it Respectfully Joel Sato Bingham Baseball Bingham High School 74 If any of our alumni members has a mining hard that was used in Bingham Canyon that they would like to donate to Bingham Baseball or knows of someone who does, please contact Coach Sato at...

2017 Cleaning and Whitewashing 0f the B On September 30, 2017 the annual cleaning and whitewashing of the B took place. Around 50 specially selected students were privileged to take part in this 90 year old Bingham tradition. After being briefed on the history of this Bingham landmark at the new Bingham High, the students rode a bus to Copperton where they visited the site of the Bingham High building located there from 1931 to 2002. They then were given a tour of the Copperton Concentrator by officials at Rio Tinto/Kennecott before riding to the B. A new feature of this year's whitewashing was the road that Kennecott constructed to the bottom of the block B. This new pathway zigzagged its way from the old Bingham and Garfield railroad bed (located several hundred feet below the base of the B) right up to the B itself. This made hiking a lot safer and whitewashing more convenient. After a truck carrying the cleaning materials parked right next to the B the students unloaded the...
