The #5 ranked Colorado Mesa Mavericks baseball team had their last RMAC (Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference) home series against Colorado Christian University. They were looking to improve their record in the conference and inch closer to their 5th straight regular season conference title. It would be a three game series.
Game one was on Friday. Mesa fell behind 1-0 after the 4th inning. Mesa tied the game in the 5th and took a one run lead going into the 7th. In the 7th they added another run to increase the score to 5-3. Colorado Christian cut the Mavs lead to 5-4 but Mesa held on for the win.
Game two on Saturday was all Mavs. They had 25 runs on 25 hits drumming Colorado Christian 25-8. Mesa scored an impressive 7 runs in the 3rd and 4th innings. On Sunday, the Mavs were looking for the sweep. This would be their first since taking all four games against New Mexico Highlands which occurred on March 24 to March 26th. Mesa completed the sweep with a 15-4 victory.
The Mavs improved their record to 27-4 in the RMAC with an overall record of 37-7. Mesa ends the home regular season at 23-5. They head on the road for the next two series. They start a three game series against Metro State next weekend. They finish up RMAC play against Colorado School of Mines May 6 to the 8th. Mesa is in great shape to win the RMAC regular season title which will make them the number one seed in the RMAC tournament.
The next time Mesa plays at home is in the RMAC tournament. This will be a double elimination tournament starting on May 12th. The winner will receive an automatic bid to the South Central Regional. Mesa is hoping to host that tournament but there is still a lot of baseball to be played.
