We are also pleased to report that the team won the World Baseball Challenge, thanks in part to Tulane’s Nick Pepitone. Pepitone, who will be entering his junior year, finished the summer season without issuing any runs. He native of Katy, Texas, made eight appearances out of the bullpen for Team USA, while tossing 14.2 innings of scoreless baseball and only relinquishing two hits while striking out five, holding opposing batters to a .045 average. The native of Katy, Texas, will be entering his junior year for Tulane in the spring of 2010.
