THE RUNDOWN
GOLDEN, Colo. – St. Edward's baseball team split the doubleheader with Colorado Mines Saturday and now trail 2-1 in the series. After SEU dominated the first game 10-3, they missed their opportunity to take the series lead, falling 12-2 at Jim Darden Field.
 
In the two games played, WILLIAM HAIRSTON led the Hilltoppers with five hits including three extra base hits (two doubles and a homerun) and three RBI's, while BLAKE ALEXANDER and RYAN MCPHAIL both cleared the fence for the second time this series to combine for three ribbies. DOM THORNTON had a day at the plate as he led the team with a .667 batting average and scored two runs, and ROBBIE LAMMONS also batted .600 and brought in a run in the two games.
 
The Hilltoppers (4-4) got off to another hot start in game one, scoring three runs in the first inning, beginning with a leadoff homerun from Hairston followed by a two-run shot by Alexander. The Orediggers (4-2) put two runs on the board in the bottom of the second inning, but back-to-back RBI singles by Lammons and ZACH SCHINDLER brought the SEU lead back to three runs, 5-2. CSM scored once more in the sixth, but SEU would blow the game wide open with a five run, six-hit inning in the seventh, resulting in a 10-3 win to even the series. TANNER LAWSON (2-1) threw the entire seven innings and struck out four in his fifth career win with the Hilltoppers.  
 
CSM set the tone early in game two with five runs in the first inning that SEU could not overcome in the 12-2 loss. RYAN MCPHAIL crushed his second long-ball of the series in the third inning and Hairston's RBI double in the seventh made up SEU's two runs.
