After a two-game slide, Carbon Dino baseball got back to their winning ways on Monday. The Dinos had lost their last two before Union came to town. The Dinos came on in the third and used the late innings to take a 6-3 win over the 13-9 Cougars.

Carbon was coming off back-to-back losses to one of the top 3A teams Juab, and need to get back into the win column as the year is starting to head into the end of the regular season. The win moves the Dinos to 12-7 with four games left. The Dinos are holding on to the No. 3 spot in the RPI as well.

Union struck first putting up one run in the top of the first inning. Carbon was quiet until the bottom of the third when Jace Barlow came up to the plate with two on and sent his third pitch to center for a triple that scored Peyton Molinar and Maizen Prichard, to give Carbon the 2-1 lead.

Carbon added a pair of runs in the bottom of the fifth when Logan Madrigal grounded out to the shortstop as Cameron Vasquez would score. Two batters later Logan Bennett would single on a grounder to center driving in Michael Vigil to push the score to 5-1.  The Dinos would add one more in the bottom of the sixth when Prichard would score on a steal of home. Union would add two more in the top of the seventh but that would do it as Carbon earned the 6-3 win.

Molinar had two hits and scored one run in the contest, Maizen Prichard collected a pair of hits and scored two runs. Jace Barlow had two hits and a pair of RBIs in the win.

Stockton Kennedy got the start on the mound going 1.1 innings giving up one hit and an earned run. Jaxon Ingram went five innings to get the win, surrendering five hits, a pair of runs, and striking out six. Trevor William went 0.2 and stuck out two.
