Colorado State drops opening day games of Hillenbrand Invitational
No. 1 Texas – 18, Colorado State – 2
- The high-powered Longhorn offense was too much for the Rams to handle Friday afternoon, falling to the national runner-up from the 2024 season in No. 1 Texas in five innings.
- Sophomore Jailey Wilson sparked the Rams to two runs in the second inning with a home run off the batter's eye in center field. This marked the first home run of the year for the young slugger against a top-tier opponent.
- Kyra Smith reached base twice for the Rams, once with a hit and then drawing a walk again in the fourth inning.
- Defensively, Kaylynn English led the Rams with three assists at shortstop.
No. 11 Arizona - 10, Colorado State – 0
- The Rams fell to the Hillenbrand Invitational host team Arizona in five innings as well, producing just two hits at the plate.
- Reagan Wick pitched for the Rams, only allowing six hits despite the loss. Only six of the ten runs were credited as earned to Wick's line.
- Colorado State saw hits from Morgan Coleman and Autumn Rutherford.
- Red-shirt freshman Lauren Stucky threw out a runner at the plate to complete a double play in the third inning, making the relay to catcher Abby Edwards to get the out over a tagging Arizona base runner.
