Baton Rouge, LA – Pepperdine avenged Brown's
season-opening Friday upset on Saturday night, knocking off the
Bears 19-3 behind a nine-run second inning that blew the game open.
Junior Pete Greskoff led the way for Brown, picking up a pair of
hits in four at bats, and driving in two of the three runs for
Bruno.
The Bears struck the first blow in the contest, picking up a run in
the top of the first to go ahead 1-0. Juniors Matt Colantonio and
Ryan Zrenda each reached base with one out, putting early pressure
on the Waves. Greskoff then hit a single to shallow left field,
bringing Colantonio in from second before the inning ended on a
double play.
Brown's 1-0 advantage would hold up until the bottom of the
second, when Pepperdine's potent offense finally broke
through. The Waves racked up nine runs on ten hits, including a
pair of home runs, as eight of Pepperdine's starters came up
with a hit in the frame.
Bruno answered back with a pair of runs in the third, as Zrenda
picked up an RBI double followed by a sacrifice fly from Greskoff,
cutting the margin to 9-3. The Bears would not cross the plate
again though, as the Waves continued to pile on in the later
innings to push the final score to 19-3.
The Bears will be back in action tomorrow, when they take on the
LSU Tigers at 2:00 CST.
