Coach Stambersky Quote:
"If you look at the back end of game two, we won the game if you remove the first inning, so that's a positive" said CSU Pueblo Head Baseball Coach Damian Stambersky. "We've got to be better on the mound. I have to be better at getting them to be better on the mound. The offense just has to feel the momentum come our way. When we have a runner at third and less than two outs, we have to touch a ball fair and we will."

Up Next:
The Pack and Rangers will wrap up their series Sunday with a 12 p.m. contest at Rawlings Field.
