Rams Drop Rubber Match at UNLV
5/8/2022 3:42:00 PM | Softball
Colorado State finished its regular-season road schedule with a loss at UNLV on Sunday
LAS VEGAS – Colorado State put runners in scoring position during Sunday's rubber match with UNLV, but always had two outs, needing just one timely hit, which escaped the Rams in the 8-1 loss. The Rams recorded six hits in the loss, stranding six runners on base – five of them in scoring position.
Â
Ashley Michelena again led the Rams from the dish, tallying a pair of hits. Brooke Bohlender recorded the lone RBI for CSU after an infield single in the second inning. Danielle Serna made contact in the third frame with a double down the left-field line – her only hit of the game. Taylor Gilmore started in the circle – making her first start of the season after battling injury – and was tagged with the loss after tossing the first 1 2/3 innings. The senior faced 13 batters, allowing four earned runs on seven hits and struck out three batters. Julia Cabral finished the game, facing 21 batters, allowing four earned runs and striking out seven.
Â
UNLV scored the first runs of the game in the opening frame after a three-run homer gave it the early lead. Colorado State got on the board in the following inning after Bohlender hit her infield-single to score Peyton Allen who singled to left earlier.
Â
The Rebels added to their lead in the second after three hits scored a run, but Cabral got the Rams off the field after recorded her first strikeout of the game.
Â
Both teams went down in order in the bottom of the third and top fourth. UNLV added another run in the fourth after a RBI single made the score 5-1. Neither team made noise through the stretch, but the Rebels made a two-out run in the sixth with a four hits to score three runs – a single and a double with two outs scored three runners to put the Rams down 8-1.
Â
Colorado State had a runner 60 feet away with two out in the seventh but couldn't fed the rally enough.
Â
UP NEXT
Colorado State will return home and finish the regular season hosting Boise State for three games starting Thursday afternoon at Ram Field.
