MALIBU, Calif. – The Pepperdine baseball team welcomed back members of the 1979 team, the first to make a College World Series, to Sunday's 5-1 loss to Loyola Marymount.

The Waves (19-17, 10-8 WCC) tried to mount a comeback in the ninth, but the Lions (25-18, 13-8 WCC) kept the Waves to just a single run.
