Pepperdine Baseball took the weekend series over Pacific with back-to-back 5-3 and 6-3 wins on Friday, April 6 and Saturday, April 7, respectively. But the Waves couldn’t sweep the Tigers, and their bats fell flat in a 4-3 loss Sunday, April 8.
With the 2-1 series win, the Waves are 14-16 overall — including 9-8 at home — and 6-6 in West Coast Conference play.
Freshman pitcher Cooper Chandler kicked off the series on the mound on Friday. Although Pacific got an early jump on the Waves with two unearned runs in the top of the first, Chandler held them down after that for five scoreless innings.
