History

The Northern Utah League began play in the 1921 season as a new Class D minor league. The Northern Utah League began play as a six–team league, hosting franchises from Brigham City, Utah (Brigham City), Lewiston, Idaho (Lewiston Broncs), Logan, Utah (Logan Collegians), Ogden, Utah (Ogden), Smithfield, Utah (Smithfield) and Tremonton, Utah (Tremonton).[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]

The Northern Utah League began play on May 4, 1921 and played a split season. The second half began on July 4, 1921. The six team league standings featured Brigham City (7–9), the Lewiston Broncs (4–11), Logan Collegians (8–9), Ogden (11–5), Smithfield (6–10) and Tremonton (12–4). With a 12-4 record, Tremonton had the best record in the league.[8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]

On June 11, 1921, Smithfield turned a triple play against the Logan Collegians.[17]

On July 3, 1921, Ogden pitcher Dave Davenport pitched a perfect game in a 4–0 Ogden victory over Tremonton. Davenport was later released for being too dominant in the Northern Utah League, with a 7–0 record.[18][19]
