Pepperdine's gameday breakdown:

My gosh, we are batting .272 as a team and have a team ERA of 5.54. Ugh! Hopefully, these California boyz will be severely affected by the midwest cold and they play like crap. That will be the only way we have a chance against these guys.

Sweep.

Being the "eternal die hard optimist" I'll chime in nd say we take 2 of the 3. :wsu_posters:

Pretty much the same set-up for this series as the TCU series.

Pepperdine is ranked anywhere for #11 (BA) to #17 (USA Today/Coaches) to #22 (Collegiate Baseball).

They can hit plenty and their pitching isn't bad.

Young starters (Kelley, Lowell, Cooper) need to stay focused and defense needs to be solid (or spectacular). Shox need to rub the bats with chicken bones or something to ward off the evil spirits. Someone/anyone in the bullpen needs to get hot.

I was a little surprised to note that Pepperdine had never come to Wichita. Maybe they won't be able to adapt to the c-c-c-cold.

Looks like Pepperdine's pitching is much better than TCU's. I was not impressed at all by TCU's pitching or defense for that matter. They sure could execute at the plate and on the bases though. Course we helped them substantially with our poor fielding and decision making. I think Pepperdine will be a tougher match up. Good news is... We are at home and that should help things. Here is to home cooking. Lets hope the kids are ready to kick some ass after the smack down they took Wednesday on the field and in the press room. If that wasn't embarrassing enough to motivate them then it could be trouble this weekend.

Shox up 1-0 in the first.

so far this looks like we left the other shox in lawrence but only 1.5 in the books...

I can see why you said that... because we actually scored a run.

[KC Shox]

We need some more runs, once Pepperdine gets to our bullpen, we are toast.

And as I typed this they jack a homer on Kelley, ugh

[Rosewood]

this has been some mighty fine pitching

[Rosewood]
