Lions upended
Vanguard University’s baseball team dropped a 7-2 Golden State
Athletic Conference decision to visiting Point Loma Nazarene Tuesday
afternoon as the winners pounded out a 13-hit attack to drop Vanguard
to 8-4, 2-1 in the GSAC.
The verdict came just one day after Cal State Dominguez Hills
pinned a 7-3 nonconference loss on the Lions Monday.
Vanguard struck for two runs in the first inning on Tuesday, but
saw the lead vanish in the fourth when Point Loma struck for four
runs.
Starting pitcher Joe Carnahan had a run-scoring double in the
first inning, and Scott Martin had a two-bagger. Robert Cruz and
Jason Searle each went 2 for 4.
Jud Richards went 3 for 5 with a home run, two runs scored and two
RBI for Point Loma, which played errorless defense.
In Monday’s game, Vanguard was shut down on four hits. Matt
Tisthammer went 2 for 3 with a solo home run.
Cal State Dominguez Hills offset Vanguard’s first-inning tally
with five in the second and finished with a dozen hits and errorless
defensive play.
