FULLERTON, CA – The Loyola Marymount University Lions (2-10-1, 0-0 WCC) had multiple leads throughout the game but late inning rallies by Cal State Fullerton and a game ending wild pitch by LMU upended the Lions 12-11 in a 15 inning marathon on Friday night. 
 
The Lions trailed early on but put together a season-high six runs in the visiting half of the second on a pair of walks by Dylan Dennis and Khadim Diaw and singles from Ben Grunberg and Trey Becker in addition to a double by Diego Baqueiro. 
 
LMU led by three in the top of the third and added to their lead by plating a pair of runs making the score 8-5. 
 
The Titans regained the lead in the bottom of the sixth with four runs but LMU retook the lead in the top of the seventh with a Patrick Stark triple down the right field line for a pair of RBIs. LMU added to the lead when Baqueiro reached on an error scoring Stark from third. 
 
The Titans closed the gap in the bottom of the eighth with a run and ultimately tied the game in the bottom of the ninth. 
 
Both LMU and Cal St. Fullerton put runners in scoring position in the 13^th and 15^th but a wild pitch by the Lions in the home half of the 15^th proved to be the difference in the 12-11 win for CSUF.
 
The Lions and Titans return to Goodwin Field tomorrow night at 6:00 p.m. with Matt McClure going opposite Christian Rodriguez.
