Mavericks Extend Win Streak to 11 with win over UCCS

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – The Colorado Mesa Mavericks exploded for four runs in the top of the eighth inning to take a 7-3 win over the UCCS Mountain Lions in game one of the four game series at Mountain Lion Field in Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference action.
 
The Mavericks, recently anointed the No. 1 team in the National Collegiate Baseball Writer's Association and PerfectGame.com polls, exploded for four runs in the top of the eighth inning to take a 7-3 lead in the game. Bramwell doubled home Dominic DeMarco and Jordan Stubbings and later scored on a passed ball to go ahead 6-3.
 
Later in the inning, Will Dixon hammered a 3-1 pitch over the fence in left center field. It was Dixon's second of the season.
 
The Mountain Lions struck for the first run of the game in the bottom of the first on back-to-back hits to take the 1-0 lead.
 
Colorado Mesa answered back in the top half of the second inning on a Will Dixon flare double down the right field line that scored Spencer Bramwell who reached on a leadoff double to right field.
 
UCCS tallied single runs in the fourth and fifth innings to take a 3-1 lead after five innings of play.
 
Senior Hunter Douglas tied things up at 3-3 after a two-run homer to right field on a 2-2 pitch from Mountain Lion ace Jonathan Cowles. Douglas' home run was his team leading seventh of the season.
 
Bramwell, Dixon and DeMarco all finished with two hits in the game.
 
JR McDermott locked horns in a pitcher's dual and came out the winner. McDermott (5-0) allowed three runs on 10 hits and struck out three while throwing exactly 100 pitches in seven innings of work.
 
McDermott also had a family battle today as he faced his brother Matt, the UCCS shortstop, three times today. JR was able to get Matt out twice while the third plate appearance he singled passed a diving Caleb Farmer.
 
Will Dixon pitched a scoreless eighth and ninth innings to preserve the win.
 
Colorado Mesa moves to 21-2 on the season and extends their win streak to 11 games.
