SAN FRANCISCO — Friday's final score did not speak to the type of game the University of San Francisco baseball team had in the opener of its three-game West Coast Conference series against visiting Pepperdine.
Though the final score was only a three-run margin thanks to a late rally by the Waves, the Dons dominated on both sides of the ball, taking a 9-1 lead into the ninth thanks to multiple home runs and a stellar outing by ace Riley Ornido, as the Dons beat Pepperdine, 9-6, at Benedetti Diamond.
HOW IT HAPPENED
- Ornido (6-5) returned to form Friday, starting off the month of May on the right foot after losing some of his staff ace mojo during April.
