GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. – The Regis University Baseball team continued their series with RMAC leading #1 ranked Colorado Mesa University on Saturday afternoon, dropping both games in the doubleheader, 2-9 and 0-4. The Rangers fall to 14-26-1 (5-17-1 RMAC), while the Mavericks improve to 41-3 (27-0 RMAC).
GAME ONE
Neither team reached base in the first, and Bobo Iandoli would record the first hit of the game win the second with a double down the right line. Mason Grube caught a runner stealing in the bottom of the second, but despite third inning singles from George Smith and Jack Moulin, Mesa took the first lead of the game with a sacrifice fly in the bottom half of the inning
In the fourth, Linus Fleek earned a base by wearing a pitch, Iandoili singles, and Park Romney brought in Fleek with an RBI single, Iandoli then put Regis up, 2-1 scoring on an error. However, a three RBI homerun put CMU back in the lead, 4-2. Fleek singled in the fifth, but he and Ethan Wood were left on base.
