It certainly wasn’t pretty, but Pepperdine baseball won their third and fourth consecutive games Tuesday, March 19 and Wednesday, March 20 behind strong hitting displays. The Waves then took two of three games from Gonzaga in a crucial weekend series.

Despite blowing a seven-run, eighth-inning lead, the Waves defeated Minnesota 13-12 on March 19, as first baseman Billy Cook delivered a walk-off single in the bottom of the ninth. The following afternoon, right-hander Dane Morrow pitched seven scoreless innings en route to a 9-5 victory over Cal State Northridge (CSUN).
