LMU Overcomes Early Deficit to Defeat the Pilots in Season Finale

PORTLAND, Ore. --- Senior Devin Kopas belted a home run and collected a two-run double to help the Pilots build an early lead, but the Loyola Marymount Lions came back to claim a 16-5 win over Portland in the regular season finale played a on sunny and warm Sunday afternoon at Joe Etzel Field. The win gives the Lions a share of the West Coast Conference championship.

Kopas' two-run double came in the bottom of the second, and it broke a scoreless tie. His shot to left-center field scored both Jason Rosen and Dutton Elske. A few batters later, Ryan Kim produced a two-run double of his own, and just like that the Pilots (10-41-1, 5-22 WCC) were on top 4-0.
