Game Two – Azusa Pacific 1, Hawaii Pacific 0

The Cougars got their first 1-0 win since April 6, 2013.

It was a pitcher duel through the first three-and-half innings as Cougar start Mike Fairchild struck out five through the first four innings while Hawaii Pacific's Ethan Kalin struck out three and faced one batter over the minimum through his first three inning. Azusa Pacific put themselves in scoring position in the final innings before finally breaking through.

The Cougars put together a solid scoring threat in the fourth inning. Mitch Dergazarian started the frame with a single then Daniel Martin put a deep opposite field drive into the sky but the right fielder made a leaping catch against the wall to rob the junior of a hit and potential extra bases. Still Azusa Pacific had runners on second and third with one out but couldn't drive them home. 

Azusa Pacific once again put a threat together in the fifth inning but they left the base loaded but they were able to chase Kalin and get into the Sharks bullpen.  The Cougars persistent paid off in the sixth inning. Adrian Tovelin singled with one out then Pablo O'Connor ripped a double down the left field line. With runners on second and third and the infield pulled in pitch hitter Ryan Santana smoked a ground ball that was knocked down by the second baseman; none the less pitch runner Austin Shives scored. 

In the final inning, Hawaii Pacific's James Carraway put a deep drive into left field but it was track down by Santana for the second out. Fairchild got the final batter to pop out to right field.

Fairchild struck out five, gave-up five hits and walked just one for the complete game. It was his second complete game of the season.
