LOS ANGELES (Interstat) — Jacob Johnson homered twice, including a go-ahead solo shot in the ninth inning, as Saint Mary’s defeated UCLA 3-2 on Friday at Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena.

Johnson opened the scoring with a solo homer to right field in the fourth inning. After UCLA’s Roman Martin answered with a solo shot to center in the bottom of the fourth, the Bruins tied the game in the fifth on a sacrifice fly by Cholowsky. Saint Mary’s reclaimed the lead in the sixth when Makoa Sniffen doubled down the right-field line to drive in a run.

Johnson erased that deficit with his second homer, another solo blast to right, in the top of the ninth. Both teams finished with six hits. The Gaels improved to 32-25, while the Bruins fell to 51-7. Saint Mary’s pitchers John Damozonio, Jacob Johnson and Cam Staton combined to hold UCLA in check after the fourth inning.
