Baseball Takes Down Lewis & Clark To Notch First Win

HILLSBORO, Ore. - Matthew Sox continued his hot hitting with a double, a run scored and two RBI, David Johnson added a hit, two runs and an RBI and the Whitman College baseball team notched its first win of the season, a 7-2 defeat of Lewis & Clark Saturday evening at the NWC Round Robin held at Ron Tonkin Field.

Eric Ma (1-1) was impressive in tossing six complete innings for the win. He gave up two runs on four hits while striking out 11 Pio hitters. Dexter Aichele took the mound in the seventh and dominated the L&C lineup. He gave up just one hit in three scoreless innings to pick up the save.

Michael Contreras led the Pios at the plate with a game-high three hits and an RBI. Jack Thompson doubled and scored a run as part of a two-run third inning that cut the Whitman (1-5) lead to one run. Lewis & Clark starter Jordan Gonzalez (0-2) was tagged with the loss in just two innings of work, surrendering four earned runs on four hits. The Pio bullpen was able to keep the Whitman lineup in check for the most part, but the damage had been done.

Johnson got the Blues on the board in the second inning. After Kevin Nakamura doubled to lead off the inning, Johnson drove him home from second with a base hit to put the Blues up. Matt Cho added to the lead, driving home Johnson and Leo Rivera with a two-out double and the Blues led 3-0.

The Pios got on the board with a pair of runs in the top of the third, but the Blues answered in kind in their half of the third. Sox delivered a run-scoring double and later scampered home as Nakamura was tagged out in a rundown.

The Blues added one run each in the seventh and eighth innings while Aichele did the work on the mound.

The Blues conclude the NWC Round Robin on Saturday with a 12:00 p.m. matchup against Willamette.
