@MSUDenverBSB: Amundson Powers Roadrunners to a Win over CSU Pueblo
GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. — The MSU Denver Roadrunners took down the CSU Pueblo Thunderwolves Wednesday afternoon by a score of 15-10 in game one of the RMAC Championship Tournament.
The Roadrunners will now wait for the conclusion of the game between Adams State and Regis tonight at 7 p.m. They will play the winner of that contest tomorrow night at 7 p.m. MT.
It was an offensive flurry to kick off the RMAC tournament, with MSU Denver recording 15 runs on 16 hits. All nine hitters in the lineup notched at least one hit.
Easton Amundson cranked two more home runs, bringing his season total to 30, the first Roadrunner to ever hit 30 or more in a season. He knocked in six runs including a grand slam in the sixth inning that put his team up comfortably.
Cam Yuran, Andrew Graham, and Royce Vandine all belted home runs of their own for another seven MSU Denver runs. Amundson, Graham, and Vandine combined for 12 of the 15 runs batted in on the day.
Graham had four hits to lead the team, going 4-for-4 with five runs, three RBIs, a walk, and three extra-base hits. His two-run homer in the third frame gave MSUD a lead they would hold onto the rest of the way. Vandine also had three extra-base hits, going 3-for-4 with three RBIs, and a run.
Southpaw and All-RMAC second team selection Nolan Livsey got the start for MSU Denver and was effective in his six innings of work. He gave up four runs on nine hits while striking out three on the way to his ninth win of the season.
