DENVER — The MSU Denver Roadrunners complete the four game series sweep over the Colorado Christian Cougars, and have now won eight in a row.
The Roadrunners improve to 23-15 overall and 15-5 in RMAC conference play.
MSU Denver's offense was on an absolute tear over these last three days, posting a total 84 runs in the four game series, including the program record 36 runs scored in game two.
Kobe Krenz earned the win after coming in relief in the fifth inning for Brad Helton. It's his first win on the campaign.
Cam Yuran belted another two homers on the afternoon and ended the day going 4-for-4 with four runs, four RBIs, two walks, and two stolen bases. He has now reached base safely in 30 consecutive games.
Erubiel Ortiz and Andrew Graham both recorded three-hit games on Sunday. Ortiz went 3-for-4 with three runs and a walk. Graham went 3-for-6 with one run and two RBIs.
HOW IT HAPPENED
Cam Yuran picked up right where he left off last night, with a two-run shot in the top half of the first for an MSU Denver 2-0 lead after one.
The Cougars hit a solo shot in the second to make it a 2-1 ballgame.
Gavin Schmeh drew a bases loaded walk in the fourth for another Roadrunners run.
CCU took a 4-3 lead in the fourth inning with three runs scored after stringing together a few base hits with the bases loaded.
Yuran tied the game at four with yet another towering shot to right field the next frame. Royce Vandine slapped a single up the middle to score Yuran for a 5-4 MSU Denver lead. Andrew Paolini laced a double down the left field line for another two runs.
After the Cougars nabbed one run in the bottom half, Andrew Graham answered back for MSUD with an RBI single up the middle. An errant throw from the catcher on a stolen base attempt made it a 9-5 Roadrunners advantage after six.
Schmeh brought home another run in the seventh on a double to left center.
Brooks Rasmussen added to the MSUD 10-5 lead with a double down the line in the ninth to make it 11-5 Roadrunners. He would come around to score on a wild pitch for an eight run MSU Denver lead. Yuran tacked another run with an RBI double down the line. Graham doubled off the wall next at-bat for the Roadrunners 15th run of the contest.
