Loyola Falls to Valparaiso, Marshall

HUNTINGTON, W. Va. – Loyola Chicago (3-17, 0-0 A-10) stumbled on day one at the Marshall March Madness tournament, falling 5-4 to Valparaiso in the first game before stumbling 9-1 against Marshall on Friday, March 7.  

Game One: Loyola 4, Valparaiso 5 
Loyola jumped out to a quick 3-0 lead in the first inning, with Haley Wallace, Riley Owens, and Nat Lesnicki each driving in one run. However, Valparaiso responded in the bottom half with a three-run homer from Mack Gallagher to tie the game, 3-3. 

Wallace continued to fuel the offense, tripling in the third inning and scoring on an RBI groundout from freshman Ali Pawlowicz to give the Ramblers a brief 4-3 lead. Then Valparaiso plated two more runs in the bottom of the inning. Despite late opportunities from the Ramblers, they couldn't push past Beacons' pitching. Peyton Pepkowski took the loss for Loyola, but gave a complete-game effort, striking out four batters while allowing five runs on five hits.
