Box Score 1 | Box Score 2 PHOENIX, Ariz. --- There's offensive explosions, and then there is the atomic bomb that Biola dropped on ACU Firestorm Field on Saturday, winning 22-1 in the opener, before falling in game two, 3-7.
 
The Eagles scored a new season-high with the 22 runs, crossing the plate more times in the opener than they've crossed the plate in the last five games combined.
 
The offense came early and often as Biola worked a 12-0 inning through the first three innings of play, taking full advantage of the first two pitchers the Firestorm trotted out to the hill.
 
The line for the first two was 2.1 innings pitched, 12 runs, seven hits, five walks and three hit-by-pitches.
 
The offense came from up-and-down the lineup in the opener, but those first 12 runs were primarily keyed by a productive top of the order with five of the 12 being score by the Eagles' one through three hitters.
 
The early runs came in support of Jimmy Gallarda, who was absolutely fantastic on the bump in his second start of the season. The lanky right-hander went six full innings, allowing just four hits and a walk while holding ACU to its one run.
 
The Eagles went onto score 10 more runs over the final six innings, scoring in all but two innings in the first game of the day.
 
Biola did this damage on the strength of just 20 hits, all but four of which were singles. The rest came by way of hit-by-pitches (3), walks (9), stolen bases (5) and ACU errors (4).
 
Center field was an especially productive position for Biola, as Paul Slater scored his three runs and was later replaced by Collin Brecheen, who went 2-for-2 with two runs, a walk and a RBI.
 
Timothy Glenn was another bench player who saw some action today and made the most of it, going 1-for-3, but driving in two of the 22 runs. Tanner Swire continued his strong season with a 3-for-5 day where he had a team-best five RBI and scored three times.
 
Six Eagles had multiple hits, 12 scored runs, eight tallied RBI, 11 reached base and five stole bases in an all-around fantastic display of offensive efficiency.
 
Gallarda got the win to move to 1-2 on the season after two innings by Sean Rothfuss and one by Garrett Stevenson kept ACU to the 21-run deficit.
 
Game two was a different story as Biola trailed throughout after ACU got out to a 6-0 lead through the first four innings and Biola could not quite figure out how to push runners home against the Firestorm's ace, Tommy Lay.
 
ACU scored seven runs on its 10 hits while Biola mustered just three off nine hits in the seven-inning affair. The Eagles scored three times in the top of the sixth off a Slater groundout and Julian Jarrard's 12^th homerun of the season.
 
Biola wins the season series with Arizona Christian by taking four of the six games. The Eagles improve to 17-27 (12-24 GSAC), while ACU falls to 9-29 (9-27 GSAC). Biola stays on the road for an afternoon game at CSU San Marcos on Tuesday.
