Salem Hills and Carbon met in Helper on Wednesday due to damaged fields at Salem Hills High.
The Skyhawks jumped out to an early 4-0 lead after two innings. With the way pitcher Reed Carter was going on that day, they put the game out of reach. Carter only allowed four hits through seven innings and zero runs. Salem Hills went on to win 7-0 over the Dinos. Ty Anderson had two of those hits for Carbon.
Carbon (Region 14 #3)* will look to bounce back when it plays Morgan (Region 13 #4) in the opening round of the state tournament on Saturday at 9 a.m. The game will be at hosted at Richfield High.
The winner of that game will play the winner of Richfield (Region 15 # 1) and Delta (Region 14 # 5) later that day at 2 p.m. It is a double-elimination tournament, so the two losing teams will face off at 4:30 p.m.
