ALAMOSA, Colo. – The Adams State University softball team closed out the home portion of the 2022 season with a sweep over the CSU Pueblo ThunderWolves with 9-1 and 13-1 run-rule victories.
The Grizzlies honored
Kylea Wall and
Taylor Sandoval as the lone seniors and both players came out to play on Sunday.

Wall went 2-for-3 at the plate on the day with two walks and four runs scored. She had a triple as well.

Belinda Vargas made the score 3-1, this time on a triple. Savanah Hoisington made the score 4-1 after the first inning.
The second inning saw
