A Saturday double-header ended with back-to-back losses for the Carbon Dinos as the team came up short against West Lake and Orem at Utah Valley University.

Hoping to ride the momentum from Friday’s region win over Providence Hall, Carbon fell one run short of West Lake in a 4-3 loss. The afternoon came to a close later with an 8-0 setback against Orem.

The two losses drop Carbon’s overall record to 3-6 on the season, but the team remains unbeaten in division play at 2-0. The Dinos will return to the field on Tuesday for a region contest with American Leadership in Spanish Fork.

Below is a complete recap from Saturday’s games:

Saturday, March 23- West Lake-4, Carbon-3, Final:

Trailing throughout the contest the Carbon Dinos were unable to complete the come-from-behind effort in a 4-3 loss to West Lake Saturday afternoon in Orem.

Shut out for the first four innings of the contest, Carbon scored all three runs in the fifth and sixth frames. Down 4-1 in the sixth, the Dinos scored two runs, but would get no closer in the loss.

Freshman Jordan Fossat was hit with the loss on the bump, allowing just two earned runs on three hits in two innings. Senior Nathan Richens threw four innings, striking out four and allowing one earned run.

Carbon’s offense was sporadic throughout the seven-inning game, logging six hits with no extra bases. Senior Anthony Jones finished 1-1 with one single, one RBI and two walks. Both Kaleb Nelson and Adrien Sanchez ended 0-3 with one RBI.

Saturday, March 23- Orem-8, Carbon-0, Final:

Fresh off of a 4-3 loss to West Lake earlier in the day, the Dinos were unable to plate any runs despite accumulating five hits and one walk. The loss to Orem moves Carbon to 3-6 on the season.

Senior Collin Lewis was charged with the loss on the mound as he gave up six hits and three earned runs in three innings of play. Cayden Steele and Kaleb Nelson worked the other three frames in relief.

Lewis attempted to help his own cause at the plate, ending 2-4 with a team best two hits. Jon Zamantakis, Jacob Vasquez and Nelson all finished with one hit as Carbon ended 5-26 as a team in the box.
