Louisiana Tech drops Monarchs in Conference USA series opener

Old Dominion has work to do to keep its record perfect in weekend series.

Louisiana Tech scored three runs in the third inning and three more in the seventh Friday in a 7-3 Conference USA victory over the Monarchs at Bud Metheny Complex.

ODU, 7-0 in weekend series coming in, needs to win Saturday and Sunday to keep its streak alive. The loss knocked the Monarchs (25-10, 9-4) out of a second-place tie with Florida Atlantic in the league. The Owls (23-9-1, 10-3) won the opener of their series against Marshall.

Turner Bishop (Kellam) and Vinnie Pasquantino had two hits each and Zach Rutherford (Western Branch) had two RBIs for ODU.
