What? More college baseball?
The usual Los Angeles-based Northwestern alumni suspects and I headed to Malibu to see our beloved Wildcats play the Pepperdine Waves in the final game of a 3-game series. The 'Cats had lost the first two, but perhaps today would be different.
Why not Eddy D. Field Field?
Sorry, even if your pet really likes baseball, it can't come in...
The Pacific Ocean is in this picture, although it's doing a good job of blending in with the sky...
Pepperdine has quite the baseball tradition...
There was a range of Northwestern fans in the stands, from little to not quite as little...
Northwestern starting pitcher Julio Siberio held the Waves to 2 runs in 6 innings...
Northwestern outfielder Antonio Mule takes a cut...
In the top of the 9th, the Waves stood in front of their dugout and tried to put some mojo on the Northwestern hitters. It didn't work; the 'Cats tied the game at 2.
However, in the bottom of the 9th, Pepperdine DH Justin Tellam hit a walk-off home run and got mobbed by the rest of the team for his effort. Pepperdine 4, Northwestern 2...
Well, at least someone enjoyed his Fritos...
The scoreboard at the end of the game. It had begun to act up in the top of the 9th, just as Northwestern was threatening -- but you'll notice that Pepperdine got the short end of the stick. (Their scoring line was 100 001 002.)
One more note: although the start time of the game was supposed to be noon, when we arrived at 11:55, the second inning had just gotten under way. The same thing happened when Jason and I went to see Northwestern play Cal State Northridge last year. This is either some bizarre NCAA policy, or everyone's so sick of Northwestern showing up in California and demanding to play baseball, they just want to get the games over with as soon as possible.

It used to be Ronald J Stadium Field, but then the Eddy Field family put up a LOT more money.
Wow, a fivepeat! I don't think I've ever seen one of those!
