Sox Delivers Scoreless Outing, Blues Top Willamette

WALLA WALLA, Wash. - Aided by an eight-run fifth inning, Matthew Sox delivered his first scoreless outing of the season, tossing seven complete innings with seven strikeouts to pace the Whitman College baseball team to a series-winning 9-1 win over Willamette in Northwest Conference action Monday at Borleske Stadium.

Sox scattered four hits and issued just one base on balls over his scoreless outing to improve to 3-1. Starter Nathan Gilman (3-2) was tagged with the loss for the Bearcats (11-10, 8-7 NWC), allowing six runs on nine hits in four and one-third innings of work.

The eight fifth-inning runs for the Blues proved to be more than enough offense for Sox. 12 hitters came to the plate with Alex Behrman (2 H, 2 R, 2 RBI) and Lucas Thrun both delivering two-RBI hits. After a Cole Edwards RBI-hit and a Brett Williams (1 H, 1 RBI) double, Behrman drove home both with a single up the middle of the infield.

With the Blues (11-13, 6-6 NWC) up three runs with runners at the corners and no outs, Thrun pulled a Gilman offering into the right centerfield gap to drive home both runners and put Whitman up 5-0. Later in the inning, after Gilman had been lifted for Benjamin Whitten, David Johnson (1 H, 1 R, 1 RBI) and Anthony Nevoso (2 H, 1 RBI) both hit RBI doubles to cap the big inning.

Thrun would finish his big day with three hits, one run and three RBI and Edwards put up three hits of his own to go along with one run and one RBI. Sox helped his own cause with a pair of hits and a run scored.

Justin Scanlon and Tyler Kurata led the Bearcats at the plate, both recording a pair of hits with Scanlon scoring his team's lone run in ninth inning.

Whitman heads back out on the road this weekend, visiting George Fox for a three-game Northwest Conference series beginning with a doubleheader on Saturday, March 30 at 12:00 p.m.
