LOS ANGELES — San Diego baseball (20-7, 6-3 WCC) fell in the Sunday afternoon finale of its second West Coast Conference series of the season, dropping a 4-2 decision to Loyola Marymount (11-18, 4-8 WCC) at Page Stadium.

The Toreros jumped out to an 1-0 advantage in the top of the first after graduate student Thomas Luevano ripped an RBI double to drive in his conference-leading 41st run of the year, but the Lions were able to answer with four runs of their own across the game's first, second, and fifth innings.

Senior Adam Lopez brought San Diego to within two with an RBI single in the top of the sixth, but USD would get no closer.

Freshman Jack Hyde tossed three innings of one-run ball out of the bullpen while scattering three hits.

He was followed by graduate student Kieran Shaw, who pitched 3.2 perfect innings in relief in the loss, striking out three LMU batters in the game's final frames.

USD returns to action on Friday, April 16 for another conference series versus San Francisco. First pitch at Fowler Park is set for 6 p.m.
