The Lady Dinos are wrapping up their regular season this week with a pair of home games the first of which was against the Union Cougars on Tuesday. The state playoffs start this Saturday and every win helps. Tenley Madsen got the complete game win giving up two earned on eight hits striking out seven and closing the door on Union 9-3.

Brielle Sandoval got things going for the Dinos in the bottom of the second with a grounder to right field bringing home Stevie Oman and Haven Byerly, Sandoval ended the day 2-4 with two RBI’s.

Union and Carbon would trade runs in the third making the score 3-1. In the bottom of the fourth Mollie Horsley got the scoring started with a single to right that drove in Byerly, Horsley would collect another RBI in the game and score a run. Gabrielle Vasquez singled to center allowing Reese Ardohain to cross the plate to score. Makayla Scovill had a day going 4-4, scoring a run and collecting one RBI when she doubled to left driving in Horsley to make the score 6-1.

Carbon added another run off the bat of Horsley in the fifth and then another pair of runs in the sixth when Byerly sent one to center that let both Gianna Bruno and Scovill put runs up making the score 9-1 headed to the top of the seventh. Union could only add a pair of runs on a pair of doubles before the Dinos would close them out for the win.

The Lady Dinos have one more game on the regular season schedule and it doesn’t get much bigger, a contest with the Canyon View Falcons for the region title.  Carbon sits at 19-5 with a 5-2 record, a win would give them the region title and then the wait for Friday begins.

On Friday, May 6 the Utah High School Activities Association will release the final RPI rankings as well as the brackets for the 3A State Softball Championships which begin on Saturday.

The final game of the regular season against Canyon View is Wednesday at the Carbon County Softball Complex. It will be Senior Day and players from the class of 2022 will be honored before the game. Game time is set for 3:30.
