Conference play could not have started at a better time for the Toreros. Winners of five straight games preceding conference play — including two impressive victories over nationally top-25-ranked teams — University of San Diego baseball was red-hot heading into their first West Coast Conference (WCC) matchup of the year. Their success would continue in their Friday night contest against visiting Pepperdine University. Behind a solid outing on the mound from junior lefty Chris Murphy and a dash of power from first-year infielder Cody Jefferis, USD was able to extend their winning streak to a season-high six games, and earn a 5-1 victory over the Waves.
