Baseball: Zags' bats put the hurt on Pepperdine 17-2 as GU takes the WCC tournament championship

Jake Vieth's six RBIs were just the start of Gonzaga's 17-2 route of Pepperdine in the WCC championship game

For the second time in as many days, the two-seed Gonzaga Bulldogs (31-22, 18-11 WCC) toppled the West Coast Conference baseball tournament's top seed Pepperdine Waves (30-23, 18-11 WCC), this time in blow out fashion.

After defeating the Waves 4-2 on Friday, GU vaulted themselves into the driver seat of the WCC tournament. They secured a spot in the championship game and assuring that whichever team joined GU from the loser’s bracket would have to beat the Bulldogs twice.
