Claypool leads No. 13 UCLA past Pepperdine, 5-1
Bruins sweep season series against Waves
The struggling Waves (13-23) started well on Tuesday against UCLA.
Pepperdine took an early 1-0 lead when Brian Humphries deposited a Garrett Claypool offering over the right field fence.
From that point, the Waves would produce just two more hits off the Bruins’ starter. Claypool, who went 6.1 innings, improved to 7-1.
It remained 1-0 until the fourth when the Bruins received RBI singles from Trevor Brown and Steve Rodriguez.
UCLA (31-10) would only need two runs, but it added three more in the fifth. Beau Amaral led off the frame with a double and Brett Krill singled him home. With runners on second and third after a Chris Giovinazzo double, Niko Gallego singled to make the score 5-1.
Former Bruin and Pepperdine starter Robert Dickmann lasted just four innings. He surrendered five runs on 11 hits.
