SURPRISE, Ariz. -- OUAZ Baseball (14-29-1) ends their season with a 12-6 loss against the New Mexico State Aggies, and will not compete in GSAC conference tournament next week.
OUAZ ends the year with 14 wins overall, including six of those coming within the conference. They ended the season on a seven-game losing streak.
It was Sergio Alfaro who was blistering hot at the plate today for the Spirit. The everyday rightfielder single-handily tied the game at five apiece at one point. Alfaro belted a grand slam in the third inning to make it 5-4 and then slapped an RBI-single his next at-bat in the fifth to tie the game. He finished with three hits and five of the six Spirit RBI's in the game.
Hayden Ambuehl went perfect at the plate on the day, going for 2-2 along with two drawn walks.
Despite their record, OUAZ had a quality season at the plate slashing .282/.377/.775 as a group. All five players who reached the 100 at-bat mark this season hit over .300
Coach Montez on his thoughts to the end of the season: "Our season didn't go the way we hoped for after the solid start we got off to. We had a lot of speed bumps along the way, but hopefully our returning players can use that experience to their benefit  as we head into next season.  I'm proud of the effort we showed today vs. D-1 opponent New Mexico State. Even though we came up short, it was a great experience for our young men in a great atmosphere."
