(Glendora)- Azusa Pacific scored four runs in the fifth inning to break it open and cruised to a 9-3 win over visiting Holy Names to complete a sweep of a doubleheader Saturday. <\/p>\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n

Leading 4-1 heading into the fifth, Spencer Rasmussen led off with a walk. With one out Omar Lopez was hit by a pitch and Will Stroud doubled to left to plate Rasmussen. Diego Frey then laid down a bunt to get another run home and after George Christison walked Carson Collett singled to drive in a run. Christison eventually scored on a wild pitch. By the time the dust had settled the Cougars were up 8-1. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They added one more in the sixth when Rasmussen parked one over the wall in right field for a home run. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Holy Names added a couple of runs in the seventh on a home run by Dominic Cervantes and an RBI double by Jesus Hernandez. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
