Steamboat Springs baseball hosted its first home games of the season Friday, dropping a double header set to No. 13 ranked Summit. Despite a one-run lead through the second inning for the Sailors in game one, Summit’s offense overpowered, scoring 5, 9 and 6 runs in the third, fourth and fifth innings, respectively. Summit won the game 21-6. Game two was much more of a pitcher’s duel with Sailors ace Fred Lohne taking the mound.
