4/3/2018 9:39:00 PM | Softball
GREELEY, Colo. – The Colorado State softball team finished its non-conference schedule Tuesday afternoon with a 9-1 victory over Northern Colorado in five innings. The win was the second time this season the Rams have defeated the Bears – 9-4 in the home opener Feb. 27.
Colorado State started the game scoring quickly. Lauren Buchanan continued her hot streak, doubling to center field to score Sarah Muzik who started the game with a walk. Haley Donaldson followed with a double herself down the right-field line to score another run. Donaldson eventually scored on a passed ball to give the Rams a 3-0 early lead.
The Rams added to their lead the next inning after Buchanan knocked a base hit to center to score two more runs and put the score at 5-0 in favor of the CSU.
Northern Colorado scored its lone run in the bottom of the third after loading the bases on walks before scoring on a fielder's choice.
CSU added to its lead in the top of the fourth as Buchanan and Donaldson hit back-to-back doubles to score three more runs to increase the Rams lead to 8-1.
Colorado State put the run rule into effect in the following inning after Dani Klein hit an RBI single to left.
UNC looked to prolong the game after loading the bases with just one out, but the Rams defense locked down getting the last two batters outs.
STAT OF THE DAY
Lauren Buchanan finished 3-for-3 from the dish, recording five RBI and two doubles.
NOTES
NEXT
Colorado State will return to Mountain West Conference action hosting New Mexico, April 6-8 at Ram Field.
