Pilots Clinch Series, Defeat Lions 13-4 in Game 2

LOS ANGELES, Calif. – The Portland Pilots had two five-run innings that propelled them past the LMU Lions for a 13-4 victory. The win clinches the series against the Lions for Portland and also puts them at 13-7 overall and 2-0 in WCC play.
 
Portland was stellar at the plate once again, recording 13 runs on 17 hits. Their 17 hits are a season high. Six batters had multiple hits on the day, with Trey Swygart's 3-for-6 outing leading the way. Swygart added two RBI's and a double as well. Nolan Miller went 2-for-4 with three RBI's and two doubles, with his three RBI's leading Portland.
 
Cody Nitowitz and Brooks Avery went 2-for-4 and 2-for-5 respectively while Jonas Salk went 2-for-4 with three runs scored. Salk's three runs are tied for the most by a Pilot this season. Brady Bean's 2-for-6 outing with a double rounded out the multi-hit batters. Troy Osborne made the most of his one at-bat, hitting a two-run homer to earn the first hit and home run of his college career.
 
Logan Anderson earned the win, going five innings with two runs and three hits allowed along with four strikeouts. It's the second win of the year for Anderson. Kaden Segel had cleanup duty, going four innings with two runs and four hits allowed along with a season-high six strikeouts. Segel earned the save as well, his third of the year.
 
How it Happened
 
After two scoreless innings, Portland broke through in the third. Runs poured in starting with Swygart's RBI single. A sac fly from Dakota Chun set up Salk to drive in Bean from second, then another sac fly from Cole Katayama-Stall and a double from Miller made it 5-0 Portland.
 
LMU scored on a fielder's choice and an error in the bottom of the sixth to bring home two runs and make it 5-2 Pilots. But Portland responded quickly, with Chun, Katayama-Stall, Miller and Carter Stewart all bringing home runs in the seventh inning.
 
Osborne made the most of his first hit of his college career, mashing a two-run shot over the left field wall in the top of the eighth to make it 12-3 Portland. LMU added a run in the eighth that was immediately negated by an RBI hit from Swygart in the ninth. Segel closed it out on the mound to make it a 13-4 win for Portland.
