The teams played 12 innings and were tied 3-all when darkness halted play on Tuesday, but it didn't take nearly that long to break the tie when the game resumed on Wednesday. The Sandies scored a run in the bottom of the 13th inning to win 4-3 and stay undefeated in District 3-5A. Caleb Flores RBI double was the game-winner.

The teams will get together again on Friday at Conner Park in Canyon.
