Late Push Falls Short as Dons Succumb to Waves

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. - Despite a late rally, the University of San Francisco baseball team (18-25, 6-11 WCC) dropped a 4-1 West Coast Conference decision to Pepperdine (11-32, 6-11 WCC) Saturday afternoon at Benedetti Diamond.

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT:

  • Pepperdine struck first in the first inning as Justin Rubin recorded an RBI single for an early 1-0 lead.
  • After back-to-back scoreless frames, a two-run home run off the bat of Andrew Savage extended the Waves' lead to 3-0 in the top of the fourth. Another run came across for Pepperdine in the seventh to push the margin to 4-0.
  • San Francisco got on the board in the final inning, as consecutive doubles from Patrick Keighran and Eddison Esquivel plated the Dons' first run.
  • Despite a late rally, loading the bases with no outs in the bottom of the ninth, the Dons' failed to plate another run as the Waves secured the 4-1 victory with an inning-ending double play.

NOTABLE PERFORMANCES: 

  • Esquivel posted his ninth multi-hit game of the season, going two-for-four with a double and recorded the Dons' lone RBI.
  • Joe Soberon pitched 5.1 solid innings out of the bullpen, allowing three runs on two hits and stuck out five batters.
  • Cal Amborn and Hunter Holzemer combined for two scoreless innings and three strikeouts.
