• Three different Evangels finished with two RBIs as Serena Rodriguez slashed 1-for-2 with a double and a stolen base, Kisbel Vizcaya slashed 1-for-2 with a double, a run scored and a stolen base and Emylee Campbell batted 1-for-3 with a triple and scored a pair of runs.

• Hallie Wilson matched Campbell with a pair of runs scored after finishing 1-for-1 with a double and a walk.

• Haskell's first threat came in the top of the third as Chloeaunna Madbull-Jim issued walks to the first two batters, but she was able to quickly get out of it by getting back-to-back fielder's choice forceouts at third before ending the frame on a popout to short.
• The Evangels started to blow the game wide open with a five-run frame in the bottom of the third as Vizcaya and Haynes hit back-to-back singles before a throwing error by the shortstop brought in MACU's star infielder and an RBI grounder to short on a fielding error during Emylee Campbell's at-bat set the score to 2-0. Kayten Herman just three batters later hammered a three-run shot down the left field line, extending the edge to 5-0.

• The Evangels put a quick end to the game in the bottom of the fifth as Faith Kelley drove in a run an RBI tapper in-front of home plate before Vizcaya walked off the game by slapping a single up the middle to score Brooklyn Wilson, securing the 9-1 win.

GAME NOTES

• Mid-America Christian tied its season-high in runs with nine on a season-high 14 hits and committed one error while Haskell scored its lone run on three hits and committed three errors.

• The contest marked the first game of the year where two different Evangels recorded three hits as Kisbel Vizcaya slashed 3-for-4 with a double for an RBI and a run while Stormy Haynes slashed 3-for-3 with a pair of runs and a stolen base.
• The double for Vizcaya was already her seventh of the season as she also became the first Evangel to reach double-digit RBIs.
• Sophomore catcher Kayten Herman recorded her first career home run on her three-run shot to left, allowing her to finish with three RBIs and a pair of runs scored while also drawing a walk.
• With the win, MACU improved to 8-1 all-time against Haskell and picked up the first win against the Fightin' Indians since Mar. 19, 2018.
