Rockies Drop Cubs, 3-2
Grand Junction turned a good performance from starting pitcher Cy Olsen into a 3-2 triumph over the Chicago (Rk+) Cubs at Harbingers Ballpark. Olsen got the win, improving to 1-0. He gave up 6 hits and walked 2 over 6.2 innings. He allowed 1 run. Ramon Alvarez recorded his 2nd save for Grand Junction.

Grand Junction used a well-timed hit by Mike Veith to capture the win. The second baseman socked a 2-run double in the top of the fifth inning to put the Rockies ahead, 2-1. Though it was his only hit in 5 at-bats, it was important.

"We did enough to win," said Olsen.

Chicago (Rk+), with the loss, is still a robust 3-1.
