LOS ANGELES – A back-and-forth game went the home team's way at LMU as the Lions broke a 4-4 tie in the bottom of the eight for a 6-4 win over the Gaels.
The Gaels struck first on an absolute bomb off the bat of Chris Santiago over the monster wall in left at LMU for a 1-0 Gaels lead in the second. An RBI double by Seth Nager to left center added on another run in the inning for Saint Mary's as Dalton Mashore crossed the plate to put the Gaels up 2-0 after two innings.
