PUEBLO, Colo. (February 28, 2019) – The Colorado State University-Pueblo softball team will open the home portion of its schedule earlier than expected due to weather around the region, and welcomes Black Hills State and Regis University for a pod style series Friday and Saturday at Rawlings Softball Complex.
