The Western Slope team was made up of juniors from the different leagues across the Western Slope. The Western Slope team beat the Metro and Tri-Peaks Leagues team 16-1. Fox hit two singles and forced two walks in the game. Against the team made up of the Patriot, Intermountain, Centennial and Frontier Leagues, the Western Slope lost 8-6.

Devin played well, McLennan said about senior-to-be Fox. He played good defense both days. He made a couple of nice plays at second base and hes certainly a good player. He represented himself very well in that setting.
