Iowa Western was again just to much for the Roughriders to handle. The Iowan’s pounded out 17 hits and plated 13 runs in route to a 13-3 win. Iowa Western catcher Anthony Bemboom, was the driving catalyist for the Reviers offense going 4 for 3 at the plate with two homeruns scoring twice, and driving in three runs.
Crowder had eight hits for the game, with doubles coming from Sam Bates, Kyle Hardy and Johnny Hendrixson. Koby Peebles, hit his second home run of the tournament leading off the fourth inning. The loss ended the season for the ‘Riders leaving their overall record at 43-24, for the season.
Congradulations to the men, Coach Travis Lallemand and his staff on a great season in which will be remembered for years to come. This team has set the bar high for future teams to strive to achieve.

They say some times licking your wounds is a good learning experience, and right now it would be fair to say that’s what the mens baseball team is doing at this point. Things went sour quickly Sun. against Iowa Western Community College. The Reivers scored quickly and often the first two innings. This found the Roughriders in a huge jam early, in which they were not able to fix in front of the 88oo plus crowd at Suplizio Field, in Grand Junction, Co.

Â

By David Fichtner
Sports Eidtor
The ‘Rider baseball team sat down with local media’s and talked about the experiences they have had over this last season including the last month, were this team finally got healthy, the bats heated up and the pitching staff held their ground. This team reminds me of the ”Little Engine That Could.” Although the season was a bumpy ride to say the least they, “thought they could and they did,” being that they are making the trip to Grand Junction Co. home of the National Junior College Athletic Association World Series. The Crowder men will begin their quest to win a national title Sun., May 30, at 7:30 p.m. in what is billed as the, ”Firecracker” game.

Bates, Bado get nod for all region honors
By David Fichtner
Sports Editor
Now that the region and district tournaments have come and gone, and the ‘Riders are making plans for a trip to Grand Junction Co. two of Coach Lallemands players have received post season honors.
Sophomore Sam Bates who hails from Cabot Ark. got his second nod in as many years in making the all Region 16 team. The 6′4″ 215 pound Bates played in 58 games, with 175 at-bats and 73 hits. He also drilled 20 doubles, 3 triples, 11 
home runs which put him second behind Adam Davey for that honor. He drove in 52 runs also putting him second on the team again behind Davey. He led the team in batting average at a .417 clip. Bates was also honored as NJCAA player of the week back in March where he hit .500 for the week of Mar. 9. Bates will continue his playing career at the University of Arkansas in the spring for Coach Dave VanHonrs Razorbacks. Early indication are that Bates will possibly get the nod for All-American as well.Â
Freshman left hander Tim Bado had an outstanding season for Lallemands club as well. The 6′1″ 175 pound Eden Prairie native also received all Region 16 honors. Bado pitched in 14 games, throwing 61.2 innings, giving up 32 runs in which only 23 were earned. Bado gave 58 hits, while striking out 59, and only walking 14. His earned-run- average was a cool 3.35 with a record of 8-2. Bado’s good mixture of his curve and change up were beneficial in his success this season. I know Coach Lallemand will be excited to have Bado back in his rotation next spring.
Congratulations to Bates and Bado job well done.            Â

After going through the Region 16 tournament like a team that was untouchable going 4-0, Crowder took the next step in their quest for a World Series run this last weekend (May 21-23) in Wilburton Okla at Eastern Oklahoma College. This team has been on a real mission the last month with guys playing like the felt they could at the first of the season. Guys getting healthy, and getting their front-line players back has paid dividends for the club, as they continue to roll.
