Hernandez vs Nicasio in Series Finale
Apr 20th
The early-season success of Roberto Hernandez continues Sunday in the series finale against the Rockies at Coors Field.
He is 1-0 with a 3.86 ERA in three starts. He has allowed 14 hits, seven earned runs and eight walks and has struck out 17 in 16 1/3 innings, providing some stability to the rotation while Cole Hamels recovered from inflammation in his left shoulder.
Hamels is set to rejoin the Phillies rotation Wednesday in Los Angeles.
“Hernandez has given us a chance to win every time he’s pitched,” Phillies manager Ryne Sandberg said Saturday.
Hernandez faces Rockies right-hander Juan Nicasio, who is 2-0 with a 3.50 ERA, and 15 strikeouts against four walks in 18 innings. In the wins, he has given up three earned runs in 13 innings. He also pitched well enough in his no-decision to keep the Rockies close enough to come from behind and beat the White Sox, 10-4, on April 9 at Coors Field.

CU Beats ODU 12-10
Apr 19th
The University of Colorado lacrosse team edged its final non-conference opponent of the regular season, taking down Old Dominion 12-10 Friday.
For the third time in as many games, the Buffaloes battled back from a first half deficit to claim the win. The Lady Monarchs went on a 4-0 run in less than three minutes time to grab a three-goal lead with 11:09 remaining in the first half. Down 7-5 at the break, the Buffs outscored the Lady Monarchs seven to three in the final 30 minutes of regulation. For the ninth straight game, the Buffs have held their opponent to five or fewer second half goals.
ODU outshot CU 24 to 20 and scooped up five more ground balls (15 to 10), but Colorado dominated the draw 17 to seven. Though CU had eight more turnovers (21 to 13), ODU had 12 more fouls, grabbing 32, including 18 in the second half, to CU’s 20.
Colorado (9-6 overall, 5-2 Mountain Pacific Sports Federation) did a great job of spreading the offense, with six Buffs netting goals. Amelia Brown was the top point-getter, recording a hat trick and contributing an assist. Sarah Lautman, Marie Moore, Cali Castagnola and Johnna Fusco each had two goals, while Katie Macleay had a goal and two assists.
