Baseball gets narrow loss to Azusa

Sunbirds finish 1-1 at home against Azusa with 6-5 loss

FRESNO, Calif. - Fresno Pacific (21-9, 13-8 GSAC) could not manage the same comeback they made in yesterday's game despite their two runs in the final two innings.  The Sunbirds fell 6-5 to Azusa Pacific (14-20, 7-15 GSAC) in their second of four meetings this season.

The Sunbirds trailed 6-3 after the seventh inning and then fought back with a sac-fly from Andrew Douglas in the eighth and a RBI from Case Rigby in the ninth, but it was not enough to make up the three-run deficit.

Rigby and Jared Coleman led the Sunbirds with two RBIs apiece while Tyler Pryor continued to hit well going four-for-four on the day with one run but no RBIs.

Kelyn Schellenberg pitched another complete game but received his second loss of the season.  Schellenberg allowed 11 hits, 6 runs with 3 strikeouts.

The Sunbirds will travel to Azusa to finish their four-game series with a doubleheader on Saturday, April 10 at 12 noon.
