Baseball wins series Saturday

The Wolf Pack hit five home runs in a series-clinching rout of Tennesse Southern

WESTWEGO – The Loyola Wolf Pack baseball team totaled 21 hits, including five home runs, on Saturday in a 16-7 win over Tennessee Southern. The win clinched the Southern States Athletic Conference opening series for the Wolf Pack, improving their overall record to 8-3 in the early going of the 2025 campaign. 
 

Loyola is back in action on Tuesday when it hosts Xavier at 5 p.m. on Tuesday. 
 

The wind played a factor all day in the rubber match, as Garrett Felix sent one high up in the jet stream that resulted in a two-run homer. Brandon Mooney led off the frame with a single to put the runner on base. Two more balls left the ballpark in the second inning, as UT Southern tied the game with a 2-run homer before Landon Trosclair helped make it a 5-2 lead for the Wolf Pack. First, Jaxon Buratt delivered an RBI single to score Landon Manson, then Trosclair deposited a pitch over the fence to make it a three-run lead.  
 

Loyola continued to score in the second inning, pushing two more across before the Firehawks could get three outs. Mooney kept things going with a one-out single, and after he stole second, Felix brought him home for the second time of the game, 6-2. Felix came home two at-bats later when Marcus Steen doubled to left field, 7-2. Again, though UT Southern found some success at the plate in the next half-inning, scoring two more to make it a 7-4 game in the third. The Wolf Pack made it three straight innings with a run in the bottom half, though, taking an 8-4 lead off an RBI single by Jake Mills. 
 

Buratt notched Loyola's third home run of the game in the fifth, touching them all on a solo shot to left-center, 9-4. 
 

Prescott Marsh entered to pitch in the fourth inning and put up zeros on the board in his first two innings before the Firehawks scratched two more across in the sixth, 9-6. He earned the win after allowing those two runs off three hits with five strikeouts. 
 

After UT Southern got those runs, the Pack answered in a big way with a six-spot in the bottom half of the frame. Cole Romero crushed a ball 417 feet with a 105 exit velocity for a three-run homer, 12-6, and Anthony Fernandez added a two-run pinch-hit home run a couple of at-bats later, 14-6. Loyola started the frame with six straight hits, adding the 15th run on a balk later in the frame. 
 

Ryder Loup earned the save by pitching the final three innings. He gave up a leadoff home run in his first inning but settled in to retire eight straight to help close out the win.
