Inside the Box Score
The Firestorm had their ace Adrian Santa Cruz starting the game on the mound. He would go 6 innings and give up 5 runs and get the win. He would give up back-to-back homeruns in the first inning, but then ACU would tie up the game in the second. This was from RBIs from Trey Tarver, Marques Titialii, and Justin Ramirez. In the fifth, the Firestorm would get back-to-back homeruns from Titialii and Enrique Porchas, then another homerun in the inning later from Griffin Swan, his first of the year. In the end, the Firestorm would end up handling the Mustangs 17-5.
Thoughts from Coach McDonald:
"Tonight was a great start to a big series. I like the way we responded from back to back losses and came out tonight playing defense and putting up zeros from the bullpen and having quality at bat after quality at bat. A lot of guys contributed and it was a great team victory."
