Welcome to the West Coast Conference, Gonzaga University.

Sophomore left-hander Randy Wolf (4-1) of Pepperdine struck out 11 and threw a nine-inning, complete-game no-hitter Friday as the Waves (14-11, 5-0) ruined the Zags’ WCC debut, 2-0 at Malibu, Calif.

Pepperdine pitchers have thrown five no-hitters in 56-plus years. Scott Marrett had the last, in 1985.

Matt Siwek (1-2), the second of three GU pitchers, took the loss after allowing Justin Hodgdon’s sacrifice fly and Gerardo Gonzalez’s RBI single in the eighth.

Catcher Alex Schuerman homered and drove in two runs to lead Whitworth (2-1) to a 3-2 non-league win over Eastern Oregon State College (5-6) at the LC Motors Invitational in Lewiston.

Sam Flemming pitched a complete game for the Pirates, allowing eight hits and two runs - neither earned - while striking out seven. Left fielder Pat Fischer went 2 for 3, scored once and drove in a run for Whitworth.
