ACU Comes Up Short vs OUAZ

Surprise, Ariz. –  Arizona Christian dug an early hole they couldn't climb out of, falling 7-3 to OUAZ on at Surprise Spring Training Facility. Despite outhitting OUAZ 10-6, ACU was hindered by four defensive errors and left 10 runners on base. Zach Blair led the offense with two hits, including his home run, while Marcellus Cueva and Gavin Murphy each added two hits of their own. Tyson Kilbreath suffered his first loss of the season, allowing six runs (four earned) over four innings of work. The Firestorm bullpen settled things down, with Noah Getz and R'Mani Adams combining for three scoreless innings in relief.
