MALIBU, Calif. -- Pepperdine got a two-out, two-run, bases-loaded single in the eighth inning to claim a 5-3 victory Saturday afternoon over BYU.

The Waves, now 14-13, took an early 3-0 lead thanks to a pair of home runs, but BYU battled back to tie the score in the seventh inning.

BYU, now 14-12, finally got on the scoreboard when it loaded the bases and scored on a walk by Dane Nielsen. Stephen Wells tied the game at three-all with a two-run double to right field.

After a steady one-hit effort by Blake Torgerson for 3.1 innings, Cougar junior Matthew Neil came on in relief and retired the side in order in the sixth and seventh. Neil retired the first two batters of the eighth before surrendering four consecutive singles.

BYU struggled after falling behind in the first and second innings. The Cougars’ missed a scoring opportunity when Chase Frampton grounded into an inning-ending double play in the fifth which ended the threat with two on.

“We are disappointed we didn’t come away with a sweep, but pleased overall,” said BYU coach Vance Law.

The Cougars bus back to Provo to host Utah Valley University on Tuesday at 6 p.m., in a game televised live by BYUtv.
