 ST. GEORGE, Utah - The St. George Roadrunners broke a 6-6 tie with four runs in the bottom of the fourth inning and went on to send the Yuma Scorpions to a 15-7 setback Monday at Bruce Hurst Field in St. George.

 St. George's Lino Rodriguez and Ivan Reyes gave the Roadrunners the lead for good with back-to-back RBI doubles to go up 10-6.

 After allowing four runs in the bottom of the first, the Scorpions bounced back with a five-spot in the second. The Scorpions put four runners aboard in the inning with a pair of walks and a pair hit by pitches.
