Sunday’s game was rained out, but the Rams didn’t need it. A Colorado win over Northern Colorado, along with CSU’s two wins over Wyoming, was enough to clinch the Mid-America West division for CSU.
The next stop for the Rams on the road to the 2015 NCBA World Series is Topeka, Kansas where the Mid-America Regionals begin on May 8. But first, CSU finishes up the regular season and conference play with a three-game series against Northern Colorado from May 1-2 at Jackson Field in Greeley, Colorado.
