Box Score DENVER - Aubree Maul (Fort Collins, Colo./Rocky Mountain H.S.) did not allow an earned run as Metro State defeated Colorado State-Pueblo 3-1 on Thursday in an elimination game at the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Tournament at Regis University. The Roadrunners will face the loser of Colorado Christian and Colorado Mesa at 1 p.m. on Friday at Regis.

Maul gave up just four hits and allowed an unearned run in the fifth inning, walking one and striking out five for the win. She threw all six innings in Metro's 3-2 loss to Fort Lewis earlier in the day.

The Roadrunners struck first in the bottom of the first as Molly Clark (Lakewood, Colo./Lakewood H.S.) reached on an error and later scored on a wild pitch for a 1-0 lead.

Metro stretched it to 2-0 when Clark singled up the middle, stole second, moved to third on a fly out by Kasey Nichols (Springville, Calif./Porterville H.S.), and was driven in by Aubree Maul (Fort Collins, Colo./Rocky Mountain H.S.)'s single through the right side with two outs.

After the ThunderWolves pushed across the unearned run in the fifth, Metro scored in the bottom of the sixth for a 3-1 lead. Mary Towner (Arvada, Colo./Ralston Valley H.S.) doubled into left-center and scored two batters later on Susie Oury (Arvada, Colo./Arvada West H.S.)'s double into the same spot.

Maul retired CSUP in order in the seventh and set down the final seven ThunderWolves batters.

Clark, Kelsey Tillery (Windsor, Colo./Windsor H.S.) and Maul each had two of Metro's nine hits in the game.
