What Happened?

• Rifle High School’s baseball team has rebounded strongly from a season-opening loss to Thomas Jefferson. The Bears won their fourth consecutive game on Tuesday with a 25-3, five-inning victory over Grand Valley in Parachute. Among the big hitters in that game were Alex Gould, who went 4-for-5 with a triple and four RBIs, and Dalton Bornholdt, who homered, tripled and finished 2-for-4 at the plate. The Bears pick up Class 4A Western Slope League play on Saturday when they host a doubleheader against Delta.

• Rifle High School’s girls soccer team fell to 0-4-0 this season after losses to Palisade and Summit last week. The Bears got their first goal of the season during their 5-1 loss to Summit on March 15, as Katelyn Shanahan put Rifle on the scoreboard for the first time. In all, Shanahan took five of the Bears’ 15 shots on goal against the Tigers in Frisco.
