Baseball: Mistakes cost the Lions

COSTA MESA - Biola University took advantage of three unearned runs

and defeated Vanguard University, 4-1, in a Golden State Athletic

Conference baseball game Thursday afternoon.

Thursday’s game was a completion of a Feb. 12 doubleheader in which game

two was not completed due to rain.

The Lions (1-6, 1-4 in conference) took the lead in the fifth on an RBI

single by Ryan Dambach, scoring Erik Dodos.

Biola (8-3, 4-1) responded with a solo home run Paul Johnson in the sixth

inning, tying the score.

Anthony Walker was the hard-luck loser for the Lions, allowing only three

hits and one earned run through 6 1/3 innings, while striking out six.

A Vanguard error in the seventh inning led to three unearned runs, giving

Biola the win.
