GAME THREE: OUAZ 5, SDCC 3

OUAZ edged San Diego Christian in game one on Saturday, by the score of 5-3.

GAME FOUR: OUAZ 8, SDCC 5

Once again, San Diego Christian captured an early lead in game two, scoring four runs across the first four innings.

Despite the Spirit's scoreless four innings, they came back in the fifth to tally four runs, tying up the game.
