Marlow drives in four, but No. 16 Mavericks rally to take Game One

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. — The Regis University baseball team opened a four-game road series against No. 16 ranked Colorado Mesa University on Friday, falling by a 13-7 final in Game One out at The Diamond in Grand Junction.

Regis (13-14 overall, 4-5 RMAC) and the nationally ranked Mavericks (21-7 overall, 12-1 RMAC) resume the series with a 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. doubleheader on Saturday.

HOW IT HAPPENED: Regis got off to a strong start Friday, taking a 1-0 lead in the top of the first inning when senior first baseman Matt Marlow delivered a sharp single into right field to score sophomore shortstop Zach Daudet, who walked and stole second to get into scoring position.

Marlow's RBI single was the first of three hits for the senior on Friday (3-for-5, 4 RBI), upping his team-leading batting average to a video game-esk .473 through 27 games played.

The Rangers would take on two more runs in the top of the second after sophomore outfielder Maxim Fullerton found the gap for a RBI double and trotted home two batters later on the run-scoring groundout by Regis leadoff man Vinnie LaGatta.

Unfortunately for the Rangers, the Mavericks were able to answer with seven runs of their own in the home-half of the second to capture a 7-3 lead and the momentum.

Trailing 8-3, Regis was able to climb back into within striking distance with a three-run fourth inning, highlighted by a two-run double from Marlow and a RBI single off the bat of outfielder CJ Difiglia to trim the deficit to 8-6.

Colorado Mesa countered with three runs in the fifth, and two more insurance runs in the eighth, to hold on for the 13-7 final.

GAME NOTES:
  • Difiglia finished 2-for-4 with an RBI to join Marlow with a multi-hit game
  • Junior catcher Austin Hamilton walked twice and scored a pair of runs
  • Senior left-hander Luke Luebker threw 0.2 innings of scoreless relief
  • Junior right-hander Logan Deskin had one of his sharpest performances of 2023, going 1.1 scoreless innings while not allowing a hit, striking out three and walking just one.
  • Daudet reached base three times on Friday, finishing 0-for-1 with a run scored and three walks
UP NEXT: The Rangers and Mavericks resume their four-game series at 1 p.m. Saturday in the first of two scheduled seven-inning games.
