THOUSAND OAKS — Johnathan Brooks extended his hitting streak to 27 games and Walker Marksdoubled in Jonathan Wong in the top of the 10th inning to give Oxy the go-ahead run.

But Cal Lutheran responded with a pair of runs in the bottom half of the inning, beating the Tigers 6-5 in the first game of a three-game series between the teams this weekend.

The Tigers fall to 19-14 and 14-8 in SCIAC, putting them in a tie for fifth, but just two games back of first, with six teams still in the hunt for the SCIAC four-team postseason tournament and the regular season SCIAC championship, with six games to play.

Brooks, who has reached safely in every Oxy game this season, finished 1 for 3 with an RBI. Victor Munoz was 2 for 4 with two RBIs, Charlie Caccamo went 2 for 5 with a pair of runs scored, A.J. Libunao was 2 for 5 and Jeffrey Johnson went 2 for 4 with two runs scored.

Oxy starter Nolan Watson was good, giving up just one earned with four strikeouts in seven innings pitched.

Cal Lutheran reliever Landry Kiyabu earned the victory.
