Early Surge Lifts OUAZ Past ACU

Surprise, Ariz. –  Arizona Christian fell to OUAZ 6-2, as a big second inning from the Spirit proved to be the difference. The Firestorm offense managed seven hits on the night, with Zach Blair and Tyson Schertenleib each recording two-hit performances. Kolten Lindstrom accounted for one of the team's two RBIs with his home run, while Noah Manasan drove in the other. On the mound, Frank Wierman took the loss, allowing six runs (three earned) over five innings while striking out five. Mason Whiteley and Tyler Bailey combined for three scoreless innings in relief to keep OUAZ off the board late. Defensively, ACU committed three errors, which contributed to three unearned runs for the Spirit. OUAZ pitching held the Firestorm without a walk and limited scoring opportunities over the final four innings to secure the win.
