Baseball notes

Battle Mountain swept Steamboat Springs Saturday, winning 8-5 and 15-11 in a doubleheader.

“Great team win as many guys contributed offensively,” stated coach Harrison Stevens.

Kade Matus batted in three runs and the Huskies stole nine bases in game one. On the mound, Tanner Roberts struck out eight in just over six innings of work, giving up just four earned runs.

“Tanner threw very well in game one,” Stevens remarked.

In game two, the Huskies scored 10 runs in the first inning and led 12-2 after two. Steamboat would notch four runs in the the third and three more in the fifth as they gradually rallied back. Cooper Irwin went 3-for-4 from the plate with five RBI and Elijah Morales drilled a home run to spearhead what Stevens said was another “team effort.”
