DENVER, Colo. — The MSU Denver Roadrunners completed the four-game series sweep over the Regis Rangers Monday afternoon with another two impressive wins.
The Roadrunners improve 31-9 overall and 26-5 in RMAC play while the Rangers fall to 13-28 overall and 12-20 in conference play.
Alexia Boring and Jaden Geist both hit solo shots in game one, along with a Lexi Geohart RBI double which would be enough offense with Roadrunners ace Natalie Romero providing another masterful performance in the circle.
Romero tossed a complete game shutout while allowing just six hits and striking out four. She goes another weekend with earning two wins and is now 14-3 on the season.
After just two runs total between the two teams after four innings in game two, Boring broke the tie with an RBI single in the fifth to put MSUD up by one.
The Red and Blue broke through for 10 runs in the top half of the sixth. Hannah DiFabio hit a grand slam for the first four runs of the inning and then a Jenna Medhus homer chipped in three more runs for MSU Denver.
Two more RBI hits from Boring and Brooklyn Enny made it a 12-1 game going into the sixth inning where the Roadrunners finished it off.
Cheyenne Prieto tossed a gem for MSU Denver, going the full six innings allowing just one run on four hits. She also struck out five batters. She improved to 9-2 overall on the campaign.
