CHICKASHA, Okla. - The Mid-America Christian University baseball team headed to nearby Chickasha, Oklahoma to take on the NAIA's #12 team on Thursday afternoon, and while MACU was able to compete for most of the day on the mound, the offense sputtered and MACU took the loss.

The University of Science & Arts of Oklahoma (24-4, 7-2 SAC) scored twice in three different innings, and MACU (6-14, 2-7 SAC) managed only five hits, as the Drovers took the win 7-0.

USAO drew first blood on a pair of RBI singles in the bottom of the first inning, and the Drovers added a third run on a passed ball in the third to take an early 3-0 lead. Oliver Fernandez picked up a single to lead off the top of the third for MACU's first hit, but MACU was unable to take advantage of the lead-off base runner, as the next three hitters were retired in order.

USAO picked up another single that scored two more runs in the fourth, and the Drovers capped the scoring in the bottom of the seventh on a two-run homer from Brock Henderson, as the Drovers took the win 7-0.

Colton Williams (7-0) fired a complete-game five-hit shutout, and he fanned 11 MACU hitters without issuing a walk. Noel Diaz (1-3) took the loss, as he gave up five runs, three earned on five hits in four and one-third innings. Diaz walked four men without striking out a batter. Felix Martinez had a multi-hit game for MACU, posting a 2-for-4 day, and Junior Aracena belted his third double of the week.

The teams will conclude their series at MACU's James Curtis Field on Friday with a double-header at 1 p.m.
