LA MIRADA, Calif. -- The NAIA's No. 4-ranked Biola used 2 big innings and then rode the masterful arm of Garet Hill to post a 10-0 shutout on Azusa Pacific, snapping the Cougars' 5-game win streak.

The loss drops the Cougars to 18-11 overall, 6-8 GSAC. Biola, which snaps a 2-game GSAC losing skid of its own, improves to 20-5, 9-4.

Hill tossed a complete-game, 6-hit shutout. All 6 hits were singles.

The Cougars had just one eventful inning when they strung together 3 straight hits by Joe Morrison, Billy Gwinn and Glenn Hedgpeth in the second but failed to score. Morrison was thrown out at third trying to advance on Gwinn's single. Hill then gave up a single Hedgpeth before ending the threat.

From then on Hill allowed just 5 more runners to reach base and only 2 hits. He finished with 3 walks and 6 strikeouts.

All-American Sam Orr finished 2-for-3 and hit a clutch 2-out grand slam in the Eagles' 5-run fourth to hand Biola an 8-0 lead and chase starter Johnny Soberal, who gave up 8 runs (5 earned) in 3.2 innings.

Freshman Brandon Sisk relieved Soberal and threw the final 4.1 innings giving up 3 hits and 2 runs while striking out 7, but the Cougars were never able to generate any offense the entire day to get back into the contest.

After the Cougars failed to capitalize on their chances in the second, the Eagles made them pay by taking advantage of 2 Cougar errors to plate 3 runs and take a 3-0 lead. A leadoff single by Andy Kroeker followed by an error and then a double steal put runners at second and third with no outs. Soberal struck out Brett Lavoie, Richard Fixsen, who ran for Kroeker, was tagged out on a fielder's choice run down at the plate, and the Cougars were just one out away from ending the inning.

However, Blake Whiteman, who finished 3-for-4, delivered an RBI single, and another run scored when Matt Parrish reached on another Cougar error. All-American Carl Galloway then drove in Whiteman with a double to give the Eagles their 3-0 lead.

Lavoie hit a 1-out solo home run in the fourth before the Eagles had 2 singles and a hit-by-pitch to set up Orr, who hit his eighth bomb of the year.

Hedgpeth was the only Cougar to finish with more than one hit as he finished 2-for-3. Stephen Vogt, Jeff Staniland, Morrison and Gwinn each had a hit.
