MOBILE, Ala. – Gonzaga baseball scored four in the eighth to take the lead, but South Alabama put up four of their own in the ninth to beat GU 7-6 on Sunday in Mobile, Ala.

Trailing 3-2 entering the eighth inning, GU (3-8) got four runs on the strength of a two-run homer by Stephen Lund, but the Jaguars (7-6) had the answer in the ninth, walking it off on a GU error for the win.

Gonzaga starter Nick Trogrlic-Iverson had a quality start, going 6.0 innings and allowing just three runs on four hits with five strikeouts and one walk. Trystan Vrieling came on in relief for the seventh and pitched a scoreless inning, but was relieved in the eighth when Alec Gomez came on to get out of a jam.

Ryan Sullivan had another big day offensively for the Zags, going 3-for-5 with a pair of doubles and two runs scored. GU had nine hits in the game and left 10 runners on base.

Gonzaga got on the board first with an RBI groundout from Machtolf, but the Jaguars came right back with two in the bottom of the second and one more in the fifth for a 3-1 lead.

GU got one in the sixth inning on an RBI triple from Machtolf and then got hot again in the eighth. After a Sullivan single to open the inning, Stephen Lund hit his first-career homer for a 4-3 GU lead. Later in the inning, Gabriel Hughes scored on a passed ball and then Josh Bristyan brought home another with a line drive single to right field for a 6-3 lead.

Gomez then entered with two on and nobody out and went to work. He got the first hitter to foul out and then struck out the next two swinging to the end the threat in the eighth.

In the ninth, it was a different story for GU as the Jaguars put three straight runners aboard without the benefit of a hit before a single brought them to within one, 6-5. Then a slow bouncer to third was thrown wide of home plate, allowing two runs to score on the play.

Gonzaga will open its home schedule its next time out, hosting CSUN for a four-game series beginning Friday at 3 p.m. Check GoZags.com for links to live coverage.
