For the second consecutive weekend, the Mesa State baseball team completed a series sweep. This time the Regis Rangers fell victim to the red hot Mavericks. The Mavericks are riding an 8-game winning streak and are winners in 9 of their last 10 games.

          In Game One of the series, Maverick southpaw Scott Bachman pitched 7.1 innings and Mike Sutton the final 1.2 innings to give the Mavericks a 7-6 win. Bachman earned his 3rd win of the season and Mike Sutton picked up the bullpen's first save of the season.

          Sophomore first baseman continued his hot hitting, going 3-for-4 at the plate. Moore hit his team leading 4th homerun of the season, a line shot that hit in front of the left field bleachers.

          Greg Anderson and Joe Schmidtbauer also hit homeruns for the Mavericks.

          Ranger Patrick Farrell hit his RMAC leading 12th homerun of the season in the first inning.

          In Game Two, Junior Ryan Gorzitze got the emergency start in place of Kyle Davis. Davis became ill late Friday and couldn't make his scheduled start. Gorzitze kept the Rangers off balance after a shaky first inning. Gorzitze finished pitching 3.1 innings allowing 4 runs on 4 hits, no walks and 2 strikeouts.

          Senior Jack Amidei came in to pitch the final 3.0 innings and pick up the win, 5-4. Amidei simply dominated the Rangers. Amidei finished allowing 2 hits while striking out 5, to pick up his first win of the season.

          Junior Brian Bello's RBI single in the bottom of the 6th, drove in Erik Nordine and put the Mavericks on top for good.

          In the nightcap of the doubleheader, Senior Chris Shea pitched his second consecutive complete game and earned his 3rd win of the season in a 6-2 win over Regis. Shea allowed 2 runs on 6 hits, walked 2 and struck out 2.

          Junior Erik Nordine finished the game 2-for-3 with 2 RBI's.

          In Sunday's game, the Mavericks donned the black hats and came away with the series sweep. Junior Brian Bello hit a walkoff single to left field that scored Kevin Becker to give the Mavs the edge 6-5.

          Sophomore Garrett Carpenter got the start and pitched 3.0 innings allowing 2 runs on 5 hits, one walk and 2 strikeouts. It was Carpenter's first start since the opening week of the season, due to an elbow injury.

          Senior Derek Riley relieved Dylan Evans in the 8th inning and held off the Rangers to pick up his first win of the season.

          Mesa State is now 13-8 overall and 9-4 in the RMAC. The Mavericks will be on the road this week against rival CSU-Pueblo but will return home the following week against the Nebraska-Kearney Lopers. Thursday April 1st will serve as the Game of Hope with the game scheduled to start at 7:00pm
