LOS ANGELES—The Lions won big against the Pacific Tigers, 10-1, in just six innings on Friday afternoon.
LMU wasted no time getting ahead, as
Arianna Jaurequi's single to third base set the stage for
Mika Chong's fourth homer of the season, propelling the Lions to an early two-run lead.
However, the Tigers found momentum in the third inning with a homer to right center. Undeterred, the Lions answered back when

Adele Braun home. In the fifth inning,
Jasmine Sofowora's single to center field paved the way for

Lauryn Carter's double ensured Sofowora crossed the plate, further solidifying their lead.
With just two runs needed to invoke the mercy rule, LMU sealed the deal and then some. Jaurequi was hit by a pitch, advancing to first, followed by a single from Chong. Jamgotchian put an exclamation point on the victory with a homer to left field, tallying three RBIs and clinching the Lions 10-1 win.
