DAVIS, Calif. – The Pepperdine baseball team had a four-run fourth inning, which proved to be enough for a 5-2 Sunday afternoon victory over UC Davis.
Â
The Waves (5-9) and Aggies (5-9) split the four-game weekend series, the last non-conference series for Pepperdine before West Coast Conference play starts.

BIG WAVES
PLAY-BY-PLAY
The Waves got on the board first to open up the second inning. Connor Bradshaw (New Rochelle, N.Y./Trinity-Pawling HS) walked with one out before John Peck (Moorpark, Calif./Moorpark HS) was hit by a pitch. After a Grant Schoen (Clackamas, Ore./Clackamas HS) walk, Joe Caparis (Palos Verdes Estates, Calif./Palos Verdes HS) reached first on a fielder's choice, scoring Bradshaw from third. Pepperdine added to its lead on a Young double, scoring both Schoen and Caparis. Young reached third on a throwing error and then scored on a wild pitch, giving the Waves a 4-0 lead through two innings.
Â
The Aggies got on the board in the bottom of the fourth inning with a two-run home run and cut the Waves' lead to 4-2 through four innings.
Â
Neither team had anything going until the ninth, when after back-to-back singles from Peck and Schoen, Young hit a sacrifice fly into center field, scoring Peck for his third RBI of the game. The Waves held the Aggies off in the bottom half, securing the series split.
Â
UP NEXT
The Waves begin WCC play next week, traveling to San Francisco for the conference-opening three-game series. Game one is scheduled to start at 2 p.m.
