DENVER, Colo. (April 20, 2015) ~ The No. 13/14 Colorado State University-Pueblo baseball team finished off a series victory against Regis University with a doubleheader sweep Monday at Regis Baseball Field. The ThunderWolves downed the Rangers 7-4 in game one, before winning the night cap, 7-2, to take three-out-of-four games in the series.

In game one, the Pack scored seven runs on 12 hits, they committed one error and left five runners on base. The Rangers notched four runs on nine hits, played errorless baseball and stranded seven.

Victor Soto (Sr., Benbrook, Texas) tossed six effective innings en route to his seventh win of the season for CSU-Pueblo. The right hander allowed three runs on six hits, walked three and struck out four. Regis starter Nick DiPaola suffered the loss after going 4 1/3 innings and giving up seven runs on nine hits.

The ThunderWolves' No. 4, 5 and 6 hitters each had a multiple-hit game. Shane Richins (Sr., Heber, Utah) led the way with three hits, while Mike Wagner (Sr., Golden, Colo.) and Manny Menocal (Jr., Las Vegas, Nev.) had two hits apiece. Wagner drove in a game-high three runs as well. Dominick Bregar (Jr., Pueblo, Colo.) crossed the plate a contest-best two times.

After scoreless innings in the first and second, the Pack broke through with four runs in the top of the third frame. Beau Cebulski (Jr., Las Animas, Colo.) doubled with one out and then came around to score on a single by Lawrence Chavez (Sr., Estancia, N.M.). Four batters later with the bases loaded, Wagner roped a bases-clearing triple to right field to give CSU-Pueblo a 4-0 advantage.

The ThunderWolves added another run in the top of the fourth inning on a RBI ground out by Chavez, extending their advantage to 5-0.

Tyler Rich (Jr., Colton, Calif.) picked up his fourth win of the season in just his second start of the year.

The CSU-Pueblo bullpen of Doug Finley (Sr., Bermuda Dunes, Calif.), Daniel Tessone (Jr., La Habra, Calif.) and Wyndam Williams (Sr., Golden, Colo.) combined to pitch three innings and give up no runs on just two hits, while striking out two and walking zero.

After scoreless innings in the first and second, the Pack scored the first runs of the game in the top of the third frame. Landrith led off the inning with a triple and later came around to score on a ground out by Jordan Godman (Jr., Las Vegas, Nev.). Austin Mascorro (Sr., Oxnard, Calif.) followed Godman's ground out with a RBI single to plate Chavez and give CSU-Pueblo a 2-0 advantage.

The ThunderWolves doubled their lead to 4-0 in the top of the fourth inning. Cebulski knocked in a run with a single and then came around to score on a wild pitch.

Regis scored two runs in the home half of the fourth inning to cut the deficit in half, at 4-2, but that was all the Rangers managed to score against the Pack pitching staff.
