Comment on Bats: Coming Soon, Phillies at Giants, Game 5

A glorious 2024 campaign at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park ended as sourly as it could. Up to the 48th minute, Oliver Larraz had been playing one of his best games of the season, particularly on the defensive end. But one bad mistake from the 23-year old turned the game on its head.

CSU never waved the white flag. Too bad the zebras couldn’t stop chucking the yellow ones. Say this for Jay Norvell’s Rams: Now they’re just good enough to break your heart after dark.

The Orediggers’ last conference defeat also came at Colorado Mesa — a 26-21 loss on Oct.
