Jacob Parsons was the hard luck losing pitcher for the Indians. Parsons threw well allowing only three hits.

Navajo now must win three games in a row to win the regional title and make the state tournament.
The Indians began their loser’s bracket journey this afternoon when Navajo played Turpin in an elimination game.
