Loyola Scores 34 Again, but in Two Games

Loyola Marymount, which defeated USF, 34-11, Friday, needed two games to score that many runs Saturday while sweeping the Dons, 11-1 and 23-9, in a West Coast Athletic Conference baseball doubleader at Loyola.

The two wins left the Lions atop the league with a 13-1 mark (35-7 overall), with Pepperdine a half-game back at 14-3. The teams play today at Malibu, with two of the top college pitchers in the West--Loyola’s Tim Layana and Pepperdine’s Mike Fetters--scheduled to start against each other. The Lions and Waves will meet again next weekend in a three-game series.

In Saturday’s second game, Loyola’s Chris Donnels’ hit a pair of three-run home runs. Loyola scored 10 runs in the seventh.
