Pepperdine added to the lead in the second as Aharon Modlin singled to lead off the inning and was sacrificed to second on a Joe Caparis bunt. After a Lambert walk and a Belk line out, Kanfer singled up the middle on a ball that was stopped on a diving play by the San Diego shortstop " but a hustling Modlin beat the throw home and scored from second to make it 3-0 Pepperdine.

The Waves' final run of the game against San Diego starter Paul Richan (who also threw a complete game) came in the fifth as Qsar blasted a solo shot off the scoreboard in right to make it 4-0.
