GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. - Colorado Mesa won a pair of run-rule shutouts to halve the weekend series with Colorado School of Mines.

After the Orediggers won two on Saturday, the Mavericks responded with wins of 11-0 and 8-0 on Sunday. It's the second straight season the two have split their four-game regular-season set.

GAME 1 - COLORADO MESA 11, MINES 0
Colorado Mesa hit four home runs to power an 11-0 win in the morning game. 

Brooke Doumer, AnnMarie Torres, Camryn Mullen, and Jordyn Hays all went long and Torres drove in three runs for the Mavericks. CMU plated four in the first keyed by Torres' homer, then busted the game open with a seven-run third that included Hays and Doumer long balls.

Paige Adair (4-2) threw a one-hitter as only Sam Wade recorded a hit for Mines; Lauren Decker walked and stole a base. Sydney Marchando (5-4) departed after the first allowing four runs; Lauren Decker allowed five in the second inning, and Sadriena Rodriguez threw the last two innings allowing two runs with a strikeout.

GAME 2 - COLORADO MESA 8, MINES 0
Big innings again paced Colorado Mesa as they won the series finale 8-0 in 5 innings.

AnnMarie Torres and Ashley Bradford drove in two runs each for CMU, who capitalized on four Oredigger errors in the game. Torres' RBI single in the first got them going before a three-run second made it 4-0; the Mavericks put a four-spot on the board in the fourth keyed by singles from Bradford and Torres and Brooke Doumer's sacrifice fly.

The Orediggers put six hits on the board led by Renata Boyd's 2-for-3 game from the leadoff spot.

Shea Mauer (8-2) tossed a two-strikeout shutout. Claire Stringfellow (2-5) allowed five earned in three innings, while Sadriena Rodriguez tossed an inning of scoreless relief.
