(SAN DIEGO) No. 14 PLNU Baseball scored its most runs in any game of Opening Weekend, but fell on the wrong side of a 14-9 result against No. 15 Cal State Monterey Bay on Saturday afternoon in the series finale between the two teams.
 
Point Loma scored six runs across the final three innings, including four in the bottom of the seventh, before Tristan Moore homered for the second-straight game in a two-run ninth.
 
The Sea Lions tied the game twice in the early going, with Ben Finnegan's RBI-single making it 1-1 after one and back-to-back run-scoring groundouts in the third tying it up at 3 apiece.
 
The Otters then scored eight unanswered runs over the next four innings to open the game up.
 
Jake Schwartz's two-RBI double down the right field line capped off a four-run seventh to cut PLNU's deficit to 11-7, only for CSUMB to respond immediately with three more runs in the top of the eighth.
 
Schwartz was a perfect 3-for-3 with two walks, while Owen May (2-for-4, RBI, BB) and Levi Ham (2-for-5, 2B, BB) each had multi-hit days.
 
Point Loma (1-2 overall) hits the road next to play at Chico State in a four-game series beginning on Thursday at 2 p.m. in PLNU's final non-conference series.
