Carbon baseball welcomed the Salem Hills Skyhawks to Price on Thursday for a non-region game. Salem Hills jumped out to a quick 7-1 lead after two innings and then held the lead throughout taking the 12-5 win over the Dinos.

The Dinos have collected nine wins this season and have now been handed their third loss. They still hold a perfect 4-0 mark in Region 12 play and will get back to it as all remaining games are in the region.

Salem Hills jumped out to an early lead putting four runs up in the first inning. The Skyhawks added another three runs in the top of the second before the Dinos would get on the board in the bottom of the inning from a Rydge Butler single that would bring Deagan Richards home.

The Dinos would find offense again in the third as Jace Barlow doubled to left driving in Michael Vigil and Maizen Prichard to cut the Skyhawk lead to five, but the Dinos couldn’t overcome Salem Hills pitching as they put two on the mound that combined for 12 strikeouts, and the Skyhawks earned the 12-5 win.

Jace Barlow collected a trio of hits and a pair of RBIs in the Carbon loss. Maizen Prichard had a pair of hits and scored two runs, Peyton Molinar, Tyrus Madsen, and Butler all collected a hit in the game.

On the mound, Molinar got the start and took the loss going two innings surrendering nine hits, seven runs, five earned, and striking out one. Trevor William entered the game going 3.2, giving up five hits. Kannon Childs came in going 1.1 innings giving up one hit.

The Dinos had a game scheduled today against Richfield, but due to inclement weather, the game will be rescheduled at a later date.

They will now be home on April 4 when they welcome the Canyon View Falcons to Price.
