It took longer than many wanted it to, however baseball has finally returned to Gunnison High School (GHS). On Thursday, the Cowboys took on Delta High School in a scrimmage in front of fans, for what was an action packed game — after both teams knocked off the rust.

Matt Solanik, Skylor Wild, Nico Marchitelli, Jackson Smith and Buckhanan each reached based during the inning — with Solanik, Wild and Marchitelli coming around to score before the inning was over.
