Box Score 1 | Box Score 2 TAYLORSVILLE, Utah (March 31, 2018) - The Salt Lake Community College baseball program has found momentum at the right time.

The Bruins entered a four-game home series against Colorado Northwestern below. 500 in the Scenic West Athletic Conference, with the hopes of using home-field advantage to gain some much needed energy heading into the home stretch of the regular season. Consider that goal accomplished as SLCC swept Colorado Northwestern at Cate Field, sweeping Saturday's doubleheader to move to 9-7 in the league standings.

Salt Lake will host league-leading College of Southern Idaho in a four-game series next weekend at Cate Field.
