Baseball Drops Doubleheader, Series To Lewis & Clark

WALLA WALLA, Wash. - In a pair of tight games in a twinbill matchup between the Whitman College baseball team and Lewis & Clark (13-5, 5-4 NWC), the Blues suffered two losses in Northwest Conference action on Sunday afternoon at Borleske Stadium. LC took the opener 12-7 and rallied to win the nightcap 10-9.

The Blues (10-6, 3-3 NWC) played the role of visitors in the scorebook after unplayable field conditions in Portland moved the series to Walla Walla.

Game 1
The opener featured a seesaw of momentum that ended with a big four-run eighth inning that gave the Pios the win. Leading by a single run in the bottom of the eighth, Heron crushed a three-run homer and later Ghammachi scored to put their team up by five runs, too much for Whitman to overcome in its final at bats.

The top half of the order provided the offense for the Blues. Jack Bickerton and Beck Maguire both posted two hits and two runs, and Mateus Conaway and Teague Conder added two hits and one run with Conder adding an RBI.

Heron (1 H, 1 R, 4 RBI) and Ghammachi (2 H, 2 R, 2 RBI) both homered for the Pios with Davis contributing two hits and two runs and Bass adding one hit, two runs and two RBI.

Wyatt Adams suffered the loss for the Blues. He pitched three plus innings and allowed six earned runs on seven hits with three strikeouts. Wuelfing earned the win for LC in three and two-thirds innings of relief work.

The Pios jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the second inning which began with Ghammachi's two-run homer. The Blues then rallied with six unanswered runs over the next two innings kickstarted in the third inning by Halen Otte's two-run base hit.

The Pios responded with two-run hits from both Bass and Heron to take a two-run lead. Bickerton scored on a wild pitch in the eight to make it a one-run game, but that would be as close as Whitman would come to regaining the lead.

Game 2
Trying to win the series with a rubber-match victory, the Blues packed in their offense in the sixth and seventh innings. LC plated a run each in the third and fifth innings as Wilsie had been keeping the Whitman order in check. 

That all changed in the sixth inning when Ben Parker (3 H, 2 R , 2 RBI) sliced the lead in half with a leadoff homerun. After Conder and Maguire (4-4, 2 R, 2 RBI) reached base, Garrett Runyan (1 H, 1 R, 3 RBI) crushed a three-run homer to put his team up 4-2.

The Blues padded their lead in the seventh after RBI hits from Parker, Bickerton and Maguire to go up 8-2.

Whitman led by five runs heading to the bottom of the ninth but it were the Pioneers who had the last say. With three runs already on the board, Heron delivered a bases-clearing walk-off double to give LC the win.

Rylan Burigsay (1-1) was the pitcher of record for the Blues with Shimabuku earned the win in two and two-thirds innings of relief work for the Pios.

Whitman will play its official home opener next weekend with a three-game series against Linfield.
