PUEBLO, Colo. - Metro State surrendered a two-run lead in the sixth inning of game two to drop a pair of games at Colorado State-Pueblo on Saturday, falling 8-1 and 13-12. The losses dropped Metro to 5-12 overall and 2-9 in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference, while CSUP improved to 10-11 and 7-4.

Game One
The Roadrunners had a brief 1-0 lead after a one-out double by freshman Danny Miller (Denver/Denver Christian H.S.) scored fellow-freshman Mitch Gibbons (Franktown, Colo./Ponderosa H.S.) in the second.

But CSUP scored five times in the third and three more times in the fourth in the 8-1 win.

Miller had two of Metro's four hits as ThunderWolves righthander Jeremiah Struble shut down the Roadrunners with 11 strikeouts. Gibbons and Ty Jacobs (Denver/Cherokee Trail H.S.) had the other two.

Game Two
Metro State's offense broke out for 12 hits, but a late rally gave CSU-Pueblo its third straight win on the weekend.

Trailing 1-0, the Roadrunners scored three times in the top of the third on back-to-back doubles by Jacobs and Darryl Baca (Loveland, Colo./Loveland H.S.).

They scored six more times in the fourth to tie the game at 9-9 after the ThunderWolves scored eight times in the bottom of the third.

Bases-loaded walks to Gibbons and Jacobs forced in a pair of runs before Baca connected on a grand slam to right field to tie the game.

Metro took an 11-9 lead in the fifth with another bases-loaded walk to Gibbons, followed by a run-scoring single by Jacobs to plate Chris Spirek (Arvada, Colo./Ralston Valley H.S.).

CSUP came roaring back with three in the bottom of the sixth to lead 12-11, hitting back-to-back home runs with two outs.

But freshman Jeff Levett (Parker, Colo./Chaparral H.S.) led off the top of the seventh with his second home run of the weekend to tie the game. Metro left the bases loaded in the top of the seventh and Vinnie Mattivi came through with a two-out walk-off single for the ThunderWolves, scoring Andrew Castaneda.

The two teams will play a nine-inning game on Sunday at noon.
