Faced with an early deficit the Carbon Dinos were unable to overcome a powerful performance from the 5A Provo Bulldogs in a 9-0 loss Tuesday afternoon in Provo.

Continuing a week of challenging non-region opponents, the Dinos allowed a minimum of two runs in each of the first four innings. While Provo fired on all cylinders at the plate, Carbon mustered just one single in the seven inning contest.

Junior Rylan Hart recorded the lone hit for Carbon as he finished 1-2 at the plate with a single. Provo used a combination of pitchers Walker Moore and Bryan Rojas to notch 12 strikeouts against the 23 batters faced.

Senior Kaleb Nelson was charged with the loss as he allowed seven hits and six earned, while striking out three during his time on the mound. Hart also received time on the mound striking out for of the seven batters he faced in the relief outing.

Now 2-3 on the season the Dinos will have two days off before returning to the field Friday on the road against Grantsville. The following day Carbon will play host to Ben Lomond in the only game of the week.
