LOS ANGELES – The Loyola Marymount University baseball team used a pair of three-run innings to key its 8-3 win over Northern Kentucky University on Saturday night at Page Stadium.
Loyola Marymount scored three times in the bottom of the fifth inning to erase a 2-0 deficit, and the Lions added three more runs in the sixth inning to snap a 3-all tie and take the lead for good. The home team later added single runs in the seventh and eighth innings to seal the victory.
David Edwards went 3-for-4 with a pair of doubles to lead the Loyola Marymount offensive attack. David Fletcher, Tanner Donnels and Austin Miller each collected a pair of hits for Loyola Marymount, which is now 8-7 overall. Fletcher also scored a pair of runs.
Zac Asman collected a two-run single in the first inning for NKU, which is 3-10 overall. Asman's hit gave the Norse a 2-0 lead, an advantage which stood until Loyola Marymount plated three runs in the fifth inning.
Loyola Marymount, which finished with 14 hits Saturday night and stranded 12 baserunners, is now 2-0 all-time against NKU.
