Plagued by errors, the Carbon Dinos suffered its first region loss of the season, falling to the Canyon View Falcons 10-6 Thursday afternoon in Cedar City.

Hoping to complete the season series sweep, the Dinos fell into a hole immediately as the Falcons scored two runs in the first inning. The deficit grew to eight as Canyon View scored six runs in the fourth frame, putting Carbon in a hole they could not climb out of.

Maizen Prichard was tagged with the loss on the mound after allowing six earned runs off four hits over three innings of work. Camden Wilson worked two innings of scoreless ball in relief, while Stockton Kennedy allowed one hit and no earned runs in a frame of work.

The group of Carbon pitchers allowed just five hits throughout the six innings. The difference in the game came from the field where the Dinos committed six errors.

Trailing 8-0 entering the fifth inning, Carbon managed to get within striking distance by scoring four runs. The Dinos scored their first run as Chet Anderson crossed home plate on a throwing error. Wyatt Falk hit a home run to center field on the ensuing at bat with two runners on.

With the lead trimmed to 8-4 the Carbon defensive struggles continued in the bottom half of the inning. An error following two walks and a base hit allowed Canyon View to extend the lead to 10-4, putting it out of reach.

Falk led the way for Carbon offensively as he ended 1-2 with a home run, three RBIs and two walks. Five other players gathered one hit a piece.

Thursday’s loss is the first setback for the Dinos inside region play. After sweeping the Grand Red Devils and earning two wins over Canyon View earlier in the week, Carbon had taken control of the division with a 5-0 record.

Carbon will now turn its focus to an incredibly important three game set with the Emery Spartans next week. The two teams will first meet in a double-header on Tuesday at Carbon High School beginning at 2:00 p.m. The season series will end Friday with one game at Emery High School at 4:00 p.m.
