GAME ONE (MSU Denver 36-7)
In a contest where the Red and Blue compiled a school record 36 runs and tied the record for hits in a game (32), it was infielder Gavin Schmeh who stole the show. 

Schmeh hit for the cycle, with an unbelievable stat line of 6-for-7 at the plate with another school record of nine runs driven in with two doubles and two homers. He hit his second grand slam of the year in the seventh inning to capture the team record for runs. 

Easton Amundson belted another two home runs in game one with six RBIs and three runs. He went 3-for-5 and is now up 20 homers on the season, just one behind the conference lead. 

Cam Yuran was one of the other Roadrunners to go yard, and went 3-for-3 with four runs, four RBIs, and one walk. 

Riley Roskopf was credited with the win after 3.2 innings of shutout baseball, allowing just two hits.
