Box Score 1 | Box Score 2 TAYLORSVILLE, Utah (May 3, 2019) - The stakes of a four-game series with the nation's eighth-ranked team weren't lost on the No. 19 Salt Lake Community College baseball team. 

Yes, the Bruins knew they would get a back-and-forth series with the College of Southern Nevada and that's exactly what they got in Friday's doubleheader, falling 10-7 in game one before picking up a 5-4 victory in game two. The win means SLCC has to win just one game in Saturday's doubleheader to earn the Scenic West crown and the right to host next week's Region 18 championships.
