LOS ANGELES, Calif. --- Portland starter Jordan Wilcox kept the Loyola Marymount hitters off balance all night long and the Pilots scored two runs in the top off the ninth inning to win the 2016 West Coast Conference opener 3-1 over the Lions on Friday night at Page Stadium. The game featured a combined 10 hits, and Wilcox stays perfect on the year.
With the score tied 1-1 in the top of the ninth, Caleb Whalen provided the game-winning RBI with a sacrifice fly that brought home Eric Sapp. Sapp had previously led off the final frame with a clutch triple to deep right field.
