Loyola, now 7-5, got its other run in the sixth when Mason Worley scored on a wild pitch.
Parkway’s only run came when Tanner Kirkland reached base on an error and scored when Cade Josting walked with the bases loaded.

Both starting pitchers, Soignier and Bouillion, were the only ones with an extra-base hit in the game, each drilling doubles.
