HOME GAME 2-3 OF 27

LMU: Is picked to finish seventh in the WCC Preseason Coaches’ Poll ... is also picked seventh according to D1Baseball.com ... was scheduled to begin the year on the road, but rain forced the series from UCSB to LMU and moved the start date up to February 16 ... is 6-2 in Opening Weekend series under Jason Gill (only losses against then-No. 7 UC Irvine in 2010 and #11 TCU in 2016) ... has played for the WCC Championship two of the last three years (losses to Pepperdine in 2014 and 2015) ... last earned a WCC Championship and NCAA berth in 2000. IN 2016, LMU: Dropped 6 of its last 8 overall ... earned five All-WCC selections ... played just two extra-inning games (1-1) and just 21 home games (9-12) ... used 48 different batting lineups in 53 games ... began the year on the road for the first time since 2010 ... did not play a non-conference home weekend series ... was shut out seven times, including in consecutive games twice (2/20 - 2/21; 3/11 - 3/12) ... prior to 2016, LMU was last shut out in back-to-back games on February 9-10, 1985 ... managed four shutouts of its own ... scored a season-high 17 runs on 4/20 at CSU Bakersfield and followed that up with a 13-2 win on 4/25 in a Monday contest against Hawaii... drew 10 walks in the game vs. CSUB - the most since drawing 10 against Santa Clara on 4/22/06 ... six straight losses from 3/11 - 3/18 was the longest winless streak since dropping six straight from 2/18 - 3/1/14 ... averaged 2.17 runs per game and hit .202 over the losing streak ... played in front of a crowd of 1,037 in home opener on 2/23 vs. #21 USC - the largest home crowd since at least 1998. THIS WEEK: The 2017 baseball season continues on Saturday and Sunday following an off day due to rain on Friday ... the series was originally scheduled to begin on Friday in Santa Barbara, but rain in Southern California, teamed with LMU’s ability to play night games, forced the location change ... the two team requested and were granted permission by the NCAA to begin the year a day early, as UCSB beat LMU, 6-3, on Thursday in the first official NCAA game of the year ... Saturday’s contest is scheduled for 6 p.m. before the series concludes with a 1 p.m. game on Sunday ... should Saturday get rained out, the two teams will look to play a Sunday doubleheader with a tentative start time of 10 a.m. ... thanks to the new home series, LMU will play its first nine games of the year at Page ... the three-game series against UCSB will feature live stats at lmulions.com. PHIL CAULFIELD: Was picked as a preseason All-West Coast Conference selection.

LION TRACKS: LMU opened the 2017 season with a 6-3 loss to #19 UCSB on Thursday ...

UCSB’s Clay Fisher belted the second pitch of the season over the Mikos Blue Monster in left field to open the game, as the Gauchos never trailed en route to victory ... the long ball got to LMU starter Blake Redman again in the fourth as Colton Burns laced a solo-shot over the wall in right field to make it 2-0 Gauchos ... despite the two round-trippers, Redman, who took the loss, pitched well, surrendering four runs (three earned) on five hits with six strikeouts over 6.0 innings to record a quality start ... on the other side of the ball, UCSB’s Noah Davis was impressive, dealing 6.0 strong innings of one-run ball while allowing just four hits with four strikeouts to pick up the win. IT’S JUST A NUMBER: LMU is 32-43-1 against ranked-opponents under head coach Jason

Gill over his nine years as head coach ... the Lions are also 7-10 in weekend series over that span ... LMU is 0-1 so far this year ... LMU went 2-7 against ranked-foes in 2016 ... the Lions went 1-4-1 in 2015 against such teams, with the lone victory coming in the series finale at #20 Arkansas on 3/8 ... LMU’s best record under Gill against ranked-teams came in his first year (2009) when the Lions went 9-2. GET OFF ON THE RIGHT PAW: Despite a loss this year, the Lions have had a knack for com-

ing out of the gates strong under head coach Jason Gill, going 6-3 on Opening Day during his tenure ... the Lions are 6-2 in Opening Weekend series over that span, with the only losses against then-No. 7 UC Irvine in 2010, and #11 TCU last year ... since 2000, LMU is 11-7 on Opening Day.
