The Firestorm Shuts Out Saint Xavier in Pitchers’ Duel

Glendale, Ariz. – ACU edged out Saint Xavier 2-0 in a tightly contested matchup thanks to dominant pitching and timely hitting. The Firestorm plated their two runs despite managing just six hits on the night. They took advantage of their opportunities, with Andrew Ivy and Jared Anderson each driving in a run. Logan Sanders and Matthew Beckworth both scored for ACU. The Firestorm's pitching was dominant, with Frank Wierman throwing 12 strikeouts, a tie for the second-most strikeouts pitched in a single game. All four pitchers shut down Saint Xavier's offense, as they allowed just two hits and four walks to keep the shutout intact.

Thoughts from Coach McDonald
