LOS ANGELES, Calif. – Highlighted by a career-high eight strikeouts from Gauge Lockhart, the University of San Francisco baseball team (16-12, 7-1) evened the series with a narrow 6-4 victory at LMU (9-24, 1-7) Friday evening at Page Stadium.

• Adding a pair of tallies in the fourth frame, the green and gold gained its first lead of the game at 3-2. Myle Kallinger scored the tying run on a fielding error by the second baseman, and TJ Rogers later drove in Eddison Esquivel with a two-out RBI single for the go-ahead score.
