DENVER, Colo. - No. 8 Metro State's school record 14-game winning streak was snapped with a 6-4 loss in game on on Monday to Colorado State-Pueblo, but the Roadrunners responded in game two with a 2-1 victory at home.  Metro State is now 17-2 overall this season, including 14-1 in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference, while CSUP is 12-6 overall and 8-4 in the RMAC.

The previous record of 13 wins in a row was set last season.

Game One
One day after throwing the first no-hitter of her career, Christie Robinson (Clinton, Wash./South Whidbey H.S.) picked up where she left off, allowing just one hit through three innings.  Meanwhile, the Roadrunners took a 2-0 lead in the second inning as Aubree Maul (Fort Collins, Colo./Rocky Mountain H.S.) delivered an RBI double to left-center and Lauren Hainlen (Parker, Colo./Chaparral H.S.) hit a sacrifice fly.

The ThunderWolves finally figured Robinson out in the fourth and fifth innings, tagging her for five hits and six runs during that span.  It still took clutch hitting for CSUP to take the lead as Carlie Lucas hit a two-out, two-run double in the fourth and Justine Bosio capped a four-run fifth inning with a two-out, two-run double of her own.

Bosio was the starter for the ThunderWolves and struck out eight as she earned the win.

Metro State did not go down quietly in the seventh.  Trailing 6-2, Hainlen reached on a one-out single and Danni Hedstrom (Fort Collins, Colo./Fort Collins H.S.) walked.  Hedstrom and pinch runner Jesse Minch (Parker, Colo./Chaparral H.S.) advanced to second and third after a wild pitch, before Amber Roundtree (Lakewood, Colo./Faith Christian H.S.) hit a two-run double into the left-center gap to cut the lead to 6-4.  But Bosio escaped with a ground out to the shortstop and a fly out to left to end the game after reaching a full count with Metro State's No. 3 hitter, Sarah Rusch (Westminster, Colo./Standley Lake H.S.).

Game Two
Julia Diehl (Littleton, Colo./Dakota Ridge H.S.) tossed a complete game four-hitter, allowing just one run and two walks with three strikeouts in the complete game victory.  She improved to 7-0 this season.

Jennessa Tesone (Longmont, Colo./Niwot H.S.) snapped an 0-for-9 start to the weekend with a sharp single up the middle to start the second inning.  Following a strikeout, she came home from second when CSUP pitcher Kyla Nelson threw the ball away on a comebacker by Hainlen.

Dannielle Oliva led off the top of the third with a solo home run to left.  But that was all the ThunderWolves put up against Diehl.  The junior righthander escaped a leadoff double by Kelly Purcell in the fifth and a leadoff single in the sixth by Bo Nuanez.  She breezed through the seventh with a soft pop up to the mound, a comebacker and a ground out to first.

Metro State provided Diehl the lead again in the fifth.  Kellie Nishikida (Pearl City, Hawaii/Pearl City H.S.) beat out an infield hit with one out.  Rusch walked to put runners on first and second.  After a strikeout for the second out of the inning, Maul came through with a line drive single up the middle that went right between the pitcher's legs and into center field, scoring Nishikida from second.

Metro State will host Fort Lewis on Saturday and Sunday with doubleheaders beginning at noon on Saturday and 11 a.m. on Sunday.
