The Dinos tallied six runs in the inning to take a commanding 10-2 lead. Grantsville tried to rally in the fifth when it scored five runs, but the Dinos clamped it down in the last two innings. Carbon held on to defeat Grantsville 12-7.
Hart led the way at the plate, going 3-4 with two RBIs. Dimick, Robison and Falk also added two RBIs apiece. The latter started on the mound as well and struck out seven batters through four innings. Jordan Fossat was called onto the bump and promptly shutdown the Cowboys in the last 2 1/3 innings to close out the game.
