Lions Fall in WCC Opener

LAS VEGAS - Despite another phenomenal outing from Diego Barrera, the LMU baseball team fell to Saint Mary's 4-1 on Thursday at Las Vegas Ballpark in the first double elimination game of the West Coast Conference Tournament. 
 
Barrera once again showed why he is the WCC Pitcher of the Year, using all his pitches to fill up the zone and create easy chances for his fielders. The southpaw struck out five Gaels, allowing just six hits and walking one. He also rolled a pair of double plays in important two-runner situations.  
 
The Lions went ahead in the sixth inning after Khadim Diaw reached base for the 25th straight game on a single to right field. Diaw advanced to second on a wild pitch and then to third on Sam Biller's single. Jared Thomas would notch a sacrifice fly to score Diaw from third and the Lions went up one. 
 
Merrick Baldo came in to close the game and allowed a pair of homeruns that ended up being the difference.  
 
LMU will play in an elimination game on Friday at noon against second-seeded Portland looking to advance to the evening game.
