Grantsville got on the scoreboard first in the top of the first as Tyson Hutchins singled. He moved up a base on a Kort Fonger ground out and then to third on a wild pitch. He scored on a ground out by Andrew Nelson to give the Cowboys a 1-0 lead.
With the game tied at 1-1, Andrew Nelson led off the fourth with a single. Jake Campbell followed that with a single to put runners on first and second. Taylor Matthews laid down a sacrifice bunt to move both runners up a base. Kelbey Fisher then scored speed up runner Derek Jensen with an infield single to give the Cowboys a 2-1 lead.
Andrew Nelson was masterful on the hill until getting in trouble in the 6th. Kellan Rhoades came in and got Grantsville out of the inning.
