LMU Edges Pilots 2-1 to Open WCC Series

PORTLAND, Ore. --- Portland's Chad Stevens homered and starter Eli Morse worked eight solid innings on the hill, but in the end the Loyola Marymount Lions capitalized with a couple of unearned runs to edge the Pilots 2-1 in a West Coast Conference baseball game played on Friday night at Joe Etzel Field. Stevens, a sophomore shortstop, also made a handful of spectacular plays in the field for the Pilots.

In the bottom of the opening inning, Stevens launched the first pitch he saw deep over the left field fence to give the early advantage to the Pilots (16-10, 1-6 WCC).
