GAME 1- Mines 10, UCCS 4
Home runs by Clara Larson and Sonoma Toot led Mines as they cruised 10-4 in Sunday's opener.

Larson got Mines off to a great start with her fifth home run of the year in the first, scoring Noehring, but UCCS scored three runs in the second to take a 3-2 lead.

That lead went away when Toot's lead-off home run in the fourth sparked a five-run rally, with Taylor Klauser collecting her first career RBI before Noehring smacked a bases-loaded double to make it a 7-3 game. Klauer drew a bases-loaded walk in the fifth, and Mines tacked on two more in the sixth as Toot generated a sacrifice fly to score Dani Valerio and Ludlow doubled in Larson.

GAME TWO - Mines 7, UCCS 3
Paige Noehring notched her 200th career hit as the Orediggers won the series with a 7-3 victory.
