DENVER, Colo. – The Regis University baseball team (12-7, 5-3 RMAC) exploded on the Colorado Christian University Cougars (6-13, 0-5 RMAC) Friday afternoon, scoring 21 runs in a 21-8 blowout, extending their winning streak to five-straight.

Junior Andrew Bryniarski was the biggest contributor as he drove in a career-high six RBI's, going 3-for-4 from the plate with a double and a home run. Redshirt-senior Geordy Smith added four RBI's of his own as he collected a double and a home run.

How it Happened: Regis scored six runs in the first, five in the second, four in the third and one in the fourth to take a 16-2 lead after four innings of play.
Senior Mike Potter drilled his first homer of the season to put the Rangers up 13-0 in the top of the third inning. Bryniarski followed with a two-run shot of his own, extending the RU lead. CCU got their first runs of the game in the bottom of the third, scoring two in the inning.

A double from senior Josh Newell in the top of the sixth helped the visitors to the 16-2 advantage, but the Cougars managed to push across another run in the bottom of the sixth bringing the score to 16-3.

One inning later, the home squad scored two runs cutting the deficit to 18-5, but Regis responded with a three-spot in the top of the eighth as freshman Antonio Salazar scored and fellow freshman Kennedy Phillips singled to right-center plating two.

CCU score three in the bottom of the ninth, but the Rangers held off the Cougars 21-8 on the day, earning their fifth-straight conference win in a row.
