Grantsville got a great performance from Mason Butler as he struck out seven batters over six innings while giving up four earned (and three unearned) runs off eight hits (and not a single walk). Those seven strikeouts gave Butler a new career-high.

On the hitting side, Cooper Castagno and Krue Warren did most of the damage at the plate: Castagno went 4-for-5 with four RBI, two runs, and one stolen base, while Warren got on base in all five of his plate appearances with three runs, one stolen base, and two RBI. Castagno is becoming a predictor of Grantsville's success: when he posts at least two runs the team is undefeated (and 7-11 when he doesn't). Patton Rose was another key player, getting on base in four of his five plate appearances with three runs, one stolen base, and one double.

Grantsville kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 15 hits. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Delta only managed ten hits.

The win (which was Grantsville's third in a row) raised their record to 13-11. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 12.0 runs over those games. As for Delta, they have been struggling recently as they've lost 14 of their last 18 games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 11-15 record this season.

Grantsville will square off against Juab at 11:00 a.m. on Monday. The Wasps' pitching crew has only allowed 3.2 runs per game this season, so the Cowboys' hitters will have their work cut out for them. Delta does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
