Loyola Drops to Canisius in Extra Innings at Pirate Invitational

GREENVILLE, N.C. – A late-inning surge from Canisius pushed them past Loyola Chicago, as the Ramblers fell 4-2 in eight innings on Saturday, Feb. 23 on the final day of the Pirate Invitational. The Ramblers are now 2-11 overall on the season.
