Andres Ozaeta made a big impact no matter where he played. He struck out seven batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs or hits (and not a single walk).

He was also solid in the batter's box, getting on base in two of his three plate appearances with two runs and one stolen base. Guymon is 4-2 when Ozaeta posts two or more runs, but 4-13 otherwise.
