The Grand Canyon baseball team continues its stretch of seven games on the road with a three-game weekend series in Malibu, Calif. On Friday and Sunday, Grand Canyon will play host, Pepperdine, while playing a neutral game with Long Beach State on Saturday. First pitches throughout the series are set for 3 p.m. MST on Friday, 3 p.m. MST on Saturday and 1 p.m. MST in the Sunday finale from Eddy D. Field Stadium.
Head Coach Andy Stankiewicz makes the return to his alma mater where he played from 1983-86. He has the third-most stolen bases in Waves' history with 101.
The Lopes have played both schools previously but not frequently and not recently. GCU last played Pepperdine in 1984, Stankiewicz's sophomore season as a member of the Waves. The two clubs split a two-game series. Grand Canyon last played Long Beach State in 2009, but the schools have only met six times.
GCU is coming off of a two-game mid-week series split against UNLV. In the opener, Jared McDonald's 11th-inning, two-out, two-RBI single proved to be the game-winning hit in the Lopes' 10-8 victory. The Rebels scored in the bottom of the ninth on a walk-off, 5-4, to force the series split.
Pepperdine and Long Beach State also had mid-week games. The Waves defeated Stony Brook, 5-4, at Eddy D. Field Stadium. Long Beach State had a pair of big-time wins, one against preseason consensus No. 1, TCU, and another against Pac-12 foe Washington State. Both Pepperdine and Long Beach State were swept in their series last weekend, losing to Cal and Arizona State, respectively.
Grand Canyon's offense has been on fire recently, recording 10 or more hits in seven of its last eight games. The Lopes are hitting .308 in the month of March. Austin Bull -- who leads the team with a .362 average -- has a nine-game hitting streak, one shy of his career high.
