MALIBU, Calif. – Shane Telfer of the Pepperdine baseball team was named the West Coast Conference Pitcher of the Week, the league announced. Telfer had an outstanding performance in game one against Gonzaga as the Waves shut out the Bulldogs 15-0. This was the largest shutout margin for Pepperdine over the Zags all-time.
 
Telfer, a left-handed pitcher from San Diego Calif., made his sixth start this season on Friday throwing 6.0 scoreless innings against the Zags and only allowing two hits. He faced 24 batters and struck out eight, which was two shy from his career-high.
