GAME ONE (MSU DENVER 21-15)
 
The Thunderwolves took an early 1-0 lead in the second inning, but the Roadrunner bats came alive, scoring four runs in the third and then adding 11 in the fourth to give them a 15–4 lead. MSU Denver would score six more runs over the final five innings to record their fourth 20-run game on the season.
 
During the high-scoring affair, Easton Amundson hit two home runs to help the Roadrunners take the lead. Amundson now has 25 round trippers on the season, tying former player and current assistant coach Matt Malkin for the Roadrunners single-season home run record.
 
Andrew Biddle, Cam Yuran and Royce Vandine also contributed to the scoring with their own home runs, while Erubiel Ortiz hit two out of the Rawlings Field.
 
Nolan Livsey earned the win, as he went 4.2 innings, allowing nine runs on 11 hits while striking out four batters. Livsey is now 8-1 on the season.
 
 
GAME TWO (CSU PUEBLO 17–12)
 
MSU Denver's bats stayed hot in game two, as they scored nine runs in the first inning to take the lead early. Ortiz continued to sizzle by starting the scoring with an RBI double and later added another RBI double in the same inning. 
 
But CSU Pueblo answered back, scoring nine runs through the first three innings to eventually tie the game. Dylan Webber got the start for the visiting Roadrunners and would give up nine runs in 2.1 innings pitched, although only two of those were earned. 
 
While the Thunderwolves offense kept their foot on the gas pedal scoring eight more runs the rest of the way, their bullpen came to the rescue. Jake Olguin-Pacheco and Alex Oliver allowed just four runs over the final 6.1 innings to keep the Roadrunners offense at bay. 
 
Ortiz led the offense in game two, as he went 3-for-5 with two doubles and three RBI. Yuran went 2-for-3 with an RBI and two walks and has now reached base in 32 consecutive games.
