Cowboys defeat Tooele 7-3 to begin Region 11

The Cowboys began Region 11 action with a 7-3 win over cross county rival Tooele.

Grantsville started fast in the top of the first. Ky Fisher and Dallin Williams began with back to back singles. Fisher scored on a ground out. Wyatt Barrus drilled a run scoring triple to add the 2nd run.

Tooele answered right back in their half of the first to tie the game at 2. The Cowboys regained the lead in the 3rd as Williams doubled and scored on a Nick Arbon single.

The lead held until Tooele tied the game in the 6th. The Cowboys then exploded for 4 runs in the top of the 7th. Fisher led off the inning with a single and moved to 2nd on a ground ball. A walk to Barrus and an intentional walk to Wyatt Smith loaded the bases. Dillon Hutchins plated the go ahead run by also drawing a base on balls. Matt Garrard followed with a 2-run single and Jonas Johnson also added an RBI single.

Tooele threatened in the 7th loading the bases but Barrus registered back to back strike outs to end the game. Barrus went the distance to pick up the win for the Cowboys.

 The win improves the Cowboys to 8-3 overall and 1-0 in the Region 11 standings. These two county neighbors will hook up again on Friday in Grantsville for another key diamond battle. First pitch is set for 3:30.
