LOS ANGELES, Calif. (KEYT) – The Mustangs took a 3-run lead into the bottom of the eighth inning at Loyola Marymount but left LA with an 8-7 loss.
Former Santa Barbara City College player DJ Ghiorso won it for the Lions with a walk-off hit off the wall in left field to score Jaxson Wall in the bottom of the ninth inning as they celebrated an end of a 7-game losing streak.
It was a wild eighth inning that saw Cal Poly scored four times to lead 7-4. Dante Vachini singled in two runs in that frame. He had 3 hits and 3 RBI for the Mustangs who drop to 14-9 on the season.
But LMU answered back with a 3-run 8th inning setting the stage for Ghiorso.
Cal Poly left 11 runners on base.
