MALIBU, Calif. - Pepperdine plated three runs in the fourth inning and pitched well throughout in taking a 3-1 victory in the 2013 John Scolinos Alumni Game on a beautiful Saturday afternoon at Eddy D. Field Stadium.
Austin Davidson (Oxnard, Calif./Oxnard HS) and Aaron Brown (Chatsworth, Calif./Chatsworth HS) each produced run scoring doubles in the fourth inning. Davidson drove in Hutton Moyer (San Diego, Calif./Cathedral Catholic HS), who reached on a two-base error to open the bottom of the frame. Brown scored on a wild pitch.
Defending West Coast Conference Player of the Year Joe Sever homered to left to get the Alumni on the board in the sixth.
