Toreros Drop First WCC Contest at Pepperdine

3-0 decision deals San Diego baseball first shutout of 2022

MALIBU, Calif. — Senior Garrett Rennie turned in five solid innings on the mound but San Diego baseball (9-7, 0-1 WCC) couldn't find the runs to support him, dropping its first West Coast Conference game of the season to Pepperdine (10-6, 1-0 WCC) by a 3-0 margin on Friday afternoon at Eddy D. Field Stadium.

HOW IT HAPPENED
  • Rennie (1-2) tossed five innings of two-run ball, scattering six hits and a walk against four strikeouts to keep San Diego within striking distance.
  • The lone blemish on his outing came in the bottom of the second, when Pepperdine's Ryan Johnson bounced a chopper over freshman third baseman Justin DeCriscio's head for a two-RBI double that gave the Waves a 2-0 lead.
  • Pepperdine expanded its lead to 3-0 in the bottom of the eighth via a home run from infielder Devon Walczykowski.
  • USD threatened in the second, seventh, and eighth innings with singles from DeCriscio and sophomore infielder Kevin Sim (Torrey Pines High School) and a walk from sophomore infielder Chase Meidroth, but was undone by grounding into three double plays and leaving five runners on base.
TORERO TIDBITS
  • DeCriscio led the Toreros with two hits on the day, followed by one-hit performances from Meidroth, sophomore utility player Jack Costello, Sim, and redshirt sophomore outfielder Camden Vasquez.
  • Jefferis made a pair of outstanding defensive plays at shortstop, and Vasquez took extra bases away with a leaping catch against the right field wall.
  • Sophomore right-handed pitcher Ivran Romero (Poway High School) threw a pair of scoreless frames in relief of Rennie, allowing three hits and a walk while recording a single strikeout.
  • USD's 2-0 loss marks the first time it's been shut out through 15 games so far this season.

UP NEXT
The Toreros continue their series with Pepperdine tomorrow afternoon. First pitch at Eddy D. Field Stadium is set for 1 p.m.
