Game 1 -

Colorado Springs jumped out to an early 3-0 lead, but Hayward's Jon Andrews hit a grand salami to make it 5-3 in the 5th. Colorado Springs tied it up in the 7th on a Joel Andrews 2 run HR, but couldn't come through in the clutch as Mario Reyes hit a walk off in the 9th for Hayward in front of 53000 on opening day.

Game 2 -

Another game, another heartbreaker for Colorado Springs. The Springs falls to 0-2 as they score 8 runs, behind 3 hits and 2 RBI from Joel Andrews, but lose in the 10th inning behind a Greg Pauer walk off single.

Game 3-

The Cowboys blow their 3rd consecutive lead and lose their 3rd straight game in a walkoff, this time 8-5 in 11 innnings. Colorado Springs gets back to back to back home runs from Camarillo, Torres, and Montes in the 4th inning to take a 3-2 lead, but it isn't enough. Absolutely heartbreaking series for the Colorado Springs Cowboys as they fall to 0-3 on the season.

Power Rankings:
Colorado Springs Cowboys(0-3) is 262 out of 320.

Up Next: at home vs. Union City Desert Dogs(3-0) Currently Union City is in a 3 way tie for 1st place, so this will be a challenge for sure. Union City is 1st in batting average at .392 in the Alpha League, but 45th in starter ERA. However, their bullpen ERA is ranked 1st. If we are going to stand a chance we need to get on top early.

Game 4

The Cowboys finally get their first win, as Willie Montes blasts his 2nd home run of the season, a 434 foot crowd pleaser in the bottom of the 6th to give the Cowboys a 4-1 lead. The Cowboys finally hold on, advancing to 1-3 on the season and closer Josh Lind gets his 1st save of the season.

Game 5

The Cowboys offence, which was batting over .300 with 5 HR's going into the game, comes down to earth as they are shut out by Union City 2-0. Herberto Albornoz went 7.1 innings, gave up 2 ER, struck out 5 and walked 4 in a loss for his first outing, but still a quality start.

Game 6

Joel Andrew's sacrifice fly in the bottom of the 5th gives the Cowboys an unexpected series win, and Colorado Springs improves to 2-4 on the season. Tony Munos got his 2nd homer of the season, and Josh Lind got his 2nd save.

Here are the standings in my division after 6 games

Up Next: @San Francisco Fisher Cats(2-4) We are hitting .284 on the season and SF is hittiing only .191, so hopefully we can outhit them.
