CARBONDALE — Roaring Fork High School’s baseball team earned its first victory of the season on Saturday afternoon, beating Grand Valley 17-7 in the first game of a Class 3A Western Slope League doubleheader before falling to the Cardinals, 8-2, in the second game.

The Rams (1-9 overall), thanks to eight-run innings in the first and third frames, put the first game out of reach early. Among the hitting leaders for Roaring Fork were Drew Broadhurst (3 for 4, two doubles), Raul Layva (2 for 3, two-run triple), Aldo Pinela (three stolen bases) and John Jensen (two RBIs). Broadhurst went the distance on the mound for Roaring Fork to earn the pitching win.

“We had some great contributions from just about everyone on the team,” Roaring Fork coach Marty Madsen said. “That was great to see. These kids have worked so hard.”
