GAME NOTES

• The victory for redshirt junior pitcher Rachel Eggleston was a special one as the three-year starter became MACU's all-time career strikeout leader as her eight punch-outs allowed her to finish the day with 337. The Kiowa, Oklahoma native surpassed three-time NCCAA All-American and former teammate Regan Martin (2018-21) for the program record with her third strikeout in the top of the first.
• While scoring chances were incredibly limited for both squads, MACU found a brief window in the bottom of the fourth where the Evangels were able to get to OPSU starter Kenley Yocom. Back-to-back base hits by Brooklyn Wilson and Morgan Fowble led to Makenzie Thurman ripping a double down the left field line to bring in Wilson for the game's only run.
• The Aggies weren't able to muster much of a scoring threat in the contest as OPSU never had a runner reach third and only had runners reach twice in the top of the first on an Audi Pettaway single and a Meagan Bellar hit-by-pitch while the other came on an Olivia Woytiuk two-out double.
• Fowble was the only player for either team to record multiple hits, slashing 2-for-3 while Thurman produced the lone run by slashing 1-for-3 with MACU's only extra-base hit being a double. Brooklyn Wilson also reached safely twice by batting 1-for-2 with a walk and the only runs scored in the game.

After loading the bases and with two outs, Morgan Fowble was able to smack a grounder in-between the shortstop and third baseman for a two-RBI single to tie the game up. In the very next at-bat, Makenzie Thurman put the Evangels up for good as she also put a single through the left side to bring in Hallie Wilson and set the score to 3-2.
• The Aggies put together a big-time threat to tie or take the lead when OPSU loaded the bases with two outs in the top of the sixth, but Wolfe got out of the jam by striking out Koral Sylestine for the final out.
• After getting a scare in the top-half of the frame, the Evangels added some insurance in the bottom of the sixth as MACU loaded the bases on a pair of bunt singles by Talyn Wheeler and Stormy Haynes to go with an Emylee Campbell walk. With MACU's top hitter in Kisbel Vizcaya coming to the dish, who was 0-for-6 in her previous at-bats in the series, Vizcaya was able to deliver a two-RBI single to center to stretch the edge out to 5-2.

GAME NOTES

• Mid-America Christian scored its eight runs on 12 hits and committed two errors while the Aggies finished with three hits and committed a pair of miscues.
• The Evangels got the scoring going in the bottom of the first by utilizing some great small ball. After opening the frame with singles by Kisbel Vizcaya and Hallie Wilson to put runners on the corners, MACU perfectly executed a double steal to score the first run. With Wilson getting down to third on an error, Makenzie Thurman brought her home on a sac fly to right to make it a 2-0 game.
• In the bottom of the third, the Evangels put up a crooked number by pushing across four runs. Vizcaya started the scoring by lacing an RBI triple down the right field line before she scored on Hallie Wilson's squeeze bunt single to third. Later in the frame, MACU plated two more on Morgan Fowble's sac fly to right to score Hallie Wilson before Thurman scored on an errant throw-in on Brooklyn Wilson's flyout to right, setting the score to 6-0.
• The only trouble MACU starter Avery Schneringer found herself in came in the top of the sixth when the Aggies put runners on second on third with one out on a Karsyn Coleman double and a Nicole Peralta single while advancing to second on a throwing error. However, Schneringer navigated her way out of the jam by inducing back-to-back pop-outs to short to end the threat.
• While the Aggies weren't able to capitalize in their half of the inning, the Evangels were as Madison Mora rifled an RBI double down the left field line to put the walk-off run down to second before Vizcaya slapped a grounder past the diving shortstop for the game-ending RBI single to wrap-up the 8-0 final.
• Schneringer tossed her first complete game shutout of the season and the eighth of her MACU career, allowing just three hits and didn't walk a single batter while striking out five over six innings of work.
• Vizcaya put together a huge game from the dish, slashing 3-for-4 with a triple, two RBIs and two runs scored while MACU got a pair of two-hit games from Hallie Wilson and Thurman as Wilson went 2-for-3 with an RBI and a pair of runs to go along with two stolen bases while Thurman swatted 2-for-2 with a double, an RBI and a run.
• By getting the win, Mid-America Christian secured its third regular season series win over the Aggies in the last four years.
