MALIBU, Calif. – Santa Clara baseball pounded out 14 hits and five pitchers combined for a five-hit shutout to rout Pepperdine 11-0 in the West Coast Conference series opener on Friday at Eddy D. Field Stadium.

Santa Clara (15-27, 8-17) had a strong performance in each facet of the game.  Offensively, every batter in the lineup reached base with seven of them getting a hit and a walk.  And defensively, the Broncos did not commit an error.

The Broncos scored in each of the first four innings, all but one run coming on singles, to take an early 8-0 lead.

Austin Reyes got things rolling with a leadoff base hit in the opening frame against Waves starter Trevor Hinkel and came home on Tony Boetto's RBI single. 

Santa Clara scored a run in the second and added two more in the third on Michael O'Hara's two-RBI single to plate Matt Jew and Jake MacNichols, knocking out Hinkel from the game.

Four more runs came across in the fourth on RBI base hits by Jason Dicochea, Boetto and Ryan McCarthy.

Six Broncos - Reyes, Dicochea, Boetto, MacNichols, McCarthy and O'Hara - each had two hits.  McCarthy drove in a game-high four runs including a two-run home run in the eighth to pace three other Broncos - Dicochea, Boetto and O'Hara - with multi-RBI games.

On the mound, the Broncos utilized five pitchers with none pitching more than two innings to keep the Waves (15-22, 7-12) bats off balance.  Brandon Buckley, Locke Bernhardt, Russell Grant II, Freddie Erlandson and Skylar Hales combined to scatter five hits and fanned 11 batters and issued just one walk.

Buckley got the starting nod and tossed two hitless innings and struck out three.  Locke Bernhardt threw the third frame and gave up three hits and a walk in his lone inning of work.  Grant, Erlandson and Hales followed suit to toss two innings each.

Grant (1-6) picked up his first win of the year while Hinkle dropped to 3-7.

Charles Masino went 2-for-3 and Aharon Modlin had the only extra base hit for the Waves.
