Cherry Creek scored five times in the first inning Thursday afternoon, and West never recovered as the Wolverines went winless during the Coach Bob Invitational in Glendale, Ariz.

West (5-6) pulled within 5-3 in the third on a two-run single by John McElroy and a squeeze bunt by Seth Schonauer, but the Colorado team pulled away with four runs in the fifth and another run in the sixth.

Zach Trammell had two of the Wolverines' seven hits. Hunter Mayes allowed nine runs on nine hits over 4 1/3 innings, but only one run was earned as West committed three errors.

West returns home to resume 6A-West Conference play Tuesday with a home game against Springdale.
