TUCSON, Ariz.-- The Jimime baseball team split a doubleheader against Ottawa University-Arizona on Friday to wrap up the Tucson Invitational Games.

UJ trailed 4-2 going into the sixth in the first game against OUAZ but rallied to tie with a pair of runs. In the eighth, the Jimmies took the lead on an RBI double by Hayden Brown, then had OUAZ win it with two in the bottom half.
Xander Orejudos went 2-for-3 and four other players had one hit.
Orejudos and Chase Burke had run-scoring hits in the fifth to help Jamestown open up a 4-0 lead. OUAZ cut the deficit in half with two in the sixth, but Reece McKenzie and Kendall Yackley helped UJ get those runs back in the bottom half.
