He scored 3 times. <Bobby Etheridge:player#8370> picked up the save for Colorado, his 1st of the year.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for <Curt Bush:player#3568>? The Colorado second baseman had a run-scoring  single in the top of the sixth inning to put the Bears on top, 4-1. For the game, <Bush:player#3568> had 1 double and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

<Illinois:team#74> manager <Paul Nicholls:manager#44> said he was "mildly disappointed" with the loss. "We had our opportunities, but we didn't take advantage of them," he said.
