Box Score PUEBLO, Colo. – The Regis University baseball team (2-3) blanked the Adams State University Grizzlies (3-6) 3-0 on Saturday afternoon behind strong pitching from junior
Chris Quackenbush (W, 1-1).
How It Happened: For the first time this season, Regis struck first as one run scored in the top half of the third inning when a single from junior
Connor Rochon allowed freshman
Ryan Tierney to score from first base thanks to an error by the right fielder.
Two innings later, the Rangers pushed across another run with a sacrifice fly to center field from sophomore
Logan Heflebower that brought junior
Zach Dedin across the plate. RU added an insurance run in the top of the fifth with an RBI single from senior
Josh Newell, plating junior
Andrew Bryniarski on the play.
Game Notes: Bryniarski led the way with two hits in four trips to the plate while Rochon (1-2, RBI), Newell (1-4, RBI), Tierney (1-3) and junior
Chris Kobar (1-4) all had one hit apiece. Quackenbush dominated the Grizzlies all afternoon as he allowed only four hits in eight innings of work. The right-hander hurled his way to seven strikeouts on the day, walking only one batter, and giving up zero earned runs.
Senior
Adam Montano (S, 1) picked up his first save of the year as he pitched a 1-2-3 bottom half of the ninth, getting all three batters to groundout. Regis committed one error on the day, went a combined 6-31 at the plate, but they picked up the 3-0 shutout, and their second win of the season.
