SAN DIEGO (Interstat) — The San Diego Toreros host the Loyola Marymount Lions on Saturday evening at USD Sports Center, looking to complete a series sweep after two dominant performances. First pitch is set for 6 p.m. under partly cloudy skies with temperatures near 71 degrees.

San Diego (18-29) has taken firm control of the four-game series, routing Loyola Marymount 17-8 on Thursday before a Friday result that pushed the Toreros’ momentum further. The Toreros’ lineup erupted for 17 runs on 17 hits in Thursday’s win, with catcher Jayden Lobliner leading the charge. Lobliner went 4-for-6 with a home run and four RBIs, continuing a productive stretch. Over his last two games — including a 3-for-5, one-homer outing at Pacific on May 10 — Lobliner is 7-for-11 with two home runs and six RBIs.

Loyola Marymount (12-42) has lost 10 consecutive games overall, a skid that includes Thursday’s blowout and series losses to Saint Mary’s and Pacific. The Lions’ pitching staff has struggled to contain opposing lineups, allowing 17 runs in Thursday’s defeat and at least eight runs in four of their last five contests.

Right-hander Jake Geis is a player to watch for the Lions. Geis worked 2.0 innings of scoreless relief in Thursday’s loss, striking out five without allowing a hit, though he was charged with one earned run. In his previous three outings, Geis had allowed a combined four earned runs over 4.2 innings. He has struck out 12 batters over his last eight appearances covering 12.2 innings.

San Diego’s pitching staff is expected to be well-rested after Thursday’s offensive outburst allowed for bullpen conservation. The Toreros’ defense turned three double plays in that win.
