Waves Split Opening Day

Malibu, Calif. - The Pepperdine baseball team opened the 2024 season 1-1 after splitting the day, defeating Utah in the afternoon after falling to California Baptist in the morning at Eddy D. Field Stadium Saturday. 

The games were a tale of defense as game one went to extra innings tied at one, but CBU fired off three runs to close the game 4-1. Game two against Utah was scoreless until an error in the bottom of the seventh propelled the Waves to score the only run of the game, capping the day with a 1-0 victory. 

GAME ONE BIG WAVES

Redshirt sophomore RHP Tommy Scavone (Pleasanton, Calif.) threw 5.0 innings with six strikeouts. 

Redshirt senior designated hitter Connor Walsh (Niceville, Fla.) batted in the sole run. 

Senior outfielder Connor Bradshaw (​New Rochelle, N.Y.​) went 2-for-4 with one walk and one run scored.

GAME TWO BIG WAVES

Sophomore RHP Nick Bonn (Laguna Beach, Calif.) threw five innings with three strikeouts, while allowing no hits. 

Graduate student outfielder Nick Upstill (Huntington Beach, Calif.) ushered in the winning run off a Utah error. 

Junior infielder Julian Nunez (​Encinitas, Calif.) batted a perfect 3-for-3 and scored one run. 

GAME RECAP

The Waves were quick to score in the first inning of game one on a hit from Walsh. The defense was strong all game. highlighted by an outstretched tag at home plate by junior catcher Andrew Savage (Woodstock, Ontario, Canada). 

After picking up a run in the bottom of the ninth, CBU was able to tack on an additional three runs, including a two-run double by Michael Carpentier. The Waves would end up falling to the Lancers 4-1. 

Game two started defensively-minded from both teams, including with a runner at third in the top of the fifth when Rubin dove for a line drive headed for right center, keeping the Utes off the board. 

The first and only run came in the seventh inning off the bat of Upstill. He laid down a bunt to the pitcher who threw to an unoccupied first base, resulting in the Waves' run. 

The second game ended with a groundout to first, securing the Waves' first win of the season and closing out opening day with a 1-1 record. 

UP NEXT

Pepperdine will be back tomorrow Saturday, Feb. 17 to host Utah at Eddy D. Field Stadium at 2 p.m. after CBU takes on the Utes at 10 a.m. earlier that day.
