Central led 4-0 before Gray came back with three runs in the fourth to get within a run.

But the home team responded with eight in the bottom of the fourth to put the game away.

With one away in the fourth, Braden Clifford and Isac Norgaard hit back-to-back singles before Magnus Nelson cleared the bases with a two-RBI double.

Anthony Hildebrandt suffered the loss after giving up 11 runs – six earned – on seven hits and four walks with two strikeouts in 3 1/3 innings of work. Roberts finished up and allowed one earned runs on two hits and one walk over the final 1 2/3.
