Colorado Mesa University softball avoided the series sweep Sunday by scoring a combined 19 runs in their two games.
The Mavericks shut out the Orediggers of Colorado School of Mines in back-to-back games and allowed only seven hits in the two games.
Junior Paige Adair was able to throw a complete five-inning game for the Mavericks while being giving up one only hit. Adair also struck out two and walked one over her 69 pitches. With the win, she improved to a 4-2 record on the season.
Continuing her successful sophomore season, Shea Mauser threw the second shutout of the day. Mauser added a win to her record and moved to 8-2 on the season thanks to the complete five-innings as the Mavericks run steamrolled Mines twice in the same day.
Mauser struck two Orediggers out and walked two in the 8-0 victory.
Right fielder Hailey Hinson went 3-3 as she doubled to the shortstop in the first game to score designated player Camryn Mullen. That added to the Mavericks score 7-0 in the bottom of the third.
The third inning was a big inning for the Mavericks scoring seven of their eleven runs that inning. The same inning included two big two run home runs from catcher Jordyn Hays and second baseman Brooke Doumer.
Hays’ homer was a shot down the left field line that scored Hinson. Doumer’s was in the same spot down and scored two runs.
The Maverick offense did not slow down in the second game scoring eight runs. The team also capitalized on the four errors made by Colorado School of Mines.
Shortstop Ashley Bradford helped out at the plate by going 2-2 with two RBIs.
AnnMarie Torres would go 2-3 with two runs batted in as the Mavericks evened the series with Colorado School of Mines.
The Mavericks will head back on the road for games against Dixie State and Adams State University in St.George, UT next weekend.
