MALIBU, Calif. – The Pacific baseball program dropped the second game of the series to Pepperdine by a 10-3 margin on Saturday afternoon at Eddy D. Field Stadium.

Graduate student Adan Perez gave the Tigers (11-22, 3-8 WCC) a fighting chance early on, but the Waves (11-23, 6-5 WCC) scored ten unanswered runs to even up the West Coast Conference series.

Perez pitched a season-long 5.1 innings, tying a season-high in strikeouts of five since his season debut against Utah Valley on Feb. 14. Saturday's performance marked Perez's seventh five or more strikeout game as a Tiger.

Graduate student Brendan O'Sullivan manufactured his second four-hit game of the season, going 4-for-4 with a pair of RBIs and a run.

A pitcher's duel between Perez and Pepperdine's Tommy Scavone turned into a hitting parade for the home team down the stretch.

After Pacific took a 3-0 lead in the top of the fifth inning on RBI hits by O'Sullivan and senior Grant MacArthur, the Waves strung together four consecutive singles during a momentum-shifting sixth-inning rally that gave them the 4-3 lead. From there, Pepperdine would go on to add on to their lead and hang on for the 10-3 final score.

Pacific and Pepperdine will compete in the rubber match tomorrow with a first pitch slated for 1 p.m. from Eddy D. Field Stadium.
