Pepperdine had a good weekend last night and the folks at D1Baseball had a short summary on them:

quote:
The race for the West Coast Conference championship is wide open with Saint Mary’s, Pepperdine and others leading the charge. The Waves began the season in Arizona and didn’t disappoint.

Pepperdine smoked CSU Bakersfield 11-0 in the season opener before beating California 7-5 and beating Wichita State 13-8. The Waves, in their second game of the day Sunday afternoon, dropped their finale to Stanford, but the weekend was a success after scoring 32 runs in four games. Charlie Welch led the charge offensively with a .400 average over the weekend, while Quincy McAfee and Brandt Belk had averages of .353 and .333, respectively. Wyatt Young, who hit .294, also had a nice weekend with four RBIs.

On the mound, Cooper Chandler struck out two and allowed a run on four hits in 5.1 innings, while Jonathan Pendergast struck out five and allowed just three hits in six shutout innings. Michael Mahony also had a nice weekend with a pair of saves in two innings pitched.
