Coach Comments
"Our guys stayed true to who they are. The zone was tough all day but our guys just kept competing in the zone," said Pack Head Coach

"Today was a good step forward for this group."
CSU Pueblo (6-9, 4-7 RMAC) will finish the series with Mines in a single, 9-inning game Sunday starting at noon at Rawlings Field.
