Baseball: Lions take care of The Master’s

COSTA MESA - The Vanguard University baseball team used some early

offense to defeat The Master’s College, 9-0, in Golden State Athletic

Conference action Thursday afternoon.

Chad Chop was 3 for 4 with a two-run homer for the Lions (21-16, 9-10

in conference), while Sam Baeder added two hits and two RBIs.

Vanguard jumped out to a 5-0 lead after three innings and never looked

back.

The Lions, after suffering through a five-game losing streak, have now

won two straight over The Master’s. They look to make it three in a row

over the Mustangs Tuesday at 2 p.m.
