Azusa Pacific could not get the bats going to support starting pitcher Michael Fairchild. Fairchild went six innings and struck out eight while only allowing two earned runs, but the bats did not come alive. The Cougars broke the no-hitter with one out in the ninth inning on a Pablo O'Connor single.
