On a sunny Valentine’s Day in Malibu, Pepperdine Baseball opened their season against University of Utah at Eddy D. Field Stadium.
A 10-inning game resulted in the University of Utah taking the game 3-1. This was also Tyler LaTorre’s first game as Pepperdine’s head coach.
Although Pepperdine started the season off with a loss, LaTorre said the team is preparing for a long season ahead.
“They’re getting ready for a marathon, not a sprint.” LaTorre said.
Pepperdine started the game off strong with a solo home run by senior infielder Julian Nunez at the top of the first inning.
