Colts Baseball Wins St. Mike's Tourney Consolation

3/17/07 

Santa Fe, NM -- After dropping their first game at the St. Michael’s baseball tournament to Santa Fe Capital 7-3, the Colt baseball team bounced back to win their next two games.

This marks the second tournament in a row that the Colts lost their opening round game, only to comeback and when their next two games. 

The Colts offense was sluggish in the first round loss to Capital.  The Colts managed only three runs after letting two bases loaded opportunities slip away.

NMMI bounced back in the second round with a 13-2 drubbing of Laguna Acoma.  Pitcher Gordon Isbell picked up the win as Jay Giblin paced the Colts with three hits.  Eric Olson and Mike Gustafson knocked in two runs each in the winning effort. 

Je’mari James stole the spotlight in game three with his performance at the plate and on the mound. 

With the game tied at 2-2, James stepped up and deposited a solo home run over the right field fence, giving the Colts a 3-2 lead.  He would later come in to pitch in the seventh inning where he would pick up the save for the Colts.

The Colts slipped by the Class 4A foe 6-4.  The Colts improve to 5-2 on the season.  They will be hosting the NMMI-Sertoma Colt Classic this coming weekend.
