The Oredigger Baseball Team opened up one of their last series of the regular season by slamming Metro State 17-6 Friday at Jim Darden Field in Golden, CO.
The RMAC-Leading Oredigger Softball team made history last week as Mines exploded for a program-record six home runs in a 11-5 win over UCCS Wednesday in Colorado Springs, CO.
After the way the Orediggers fared in close games this season, a three run walk off homerun was just what the doctor ordered as Mines outlasted Regis 7-4 to earn the series split Saturday at the CSM Softball field in Golden, CO.
The Orediggers endured a pair of hard losses Saturday, losing to the CSU-Pueblo ThunderWolves 9-4 in their first game and then 10-4 in the second game of the double-header.

{jcomments on}The Orediggers won their 2nd consecutive series Saturday at Jim Darden Field taking two games from Colorado State–Pueblo. The Diggers got hot at the right time by winning 5 of their last 7 games, but unfortunately it was already too late as they missed the RMAC playoffs for the second consecutive year. It was the second straight year in which the Diggers won only 7 conference games.
If Mines could have avoided a mid season 12 game losing streak or proved better on the road, where they went 1-13, they would have had a legitimate shot at the playoffs and could have made some noise with the way there were playing lately. During Mines’ last two series they outscored their opponents 74 to 38 and found stability in one of their season-long weaknesses when Marshall Schuler was moved to the bullpen.
