Baseball Splits A Doubleheader With Linfield

WALLA WALLA, Wash. - Ben Parker delivered a game-tying RBI and a walkoff homerun in a 2-1, 11 inning game one win, but the Wildcats responded in the nightcap for a 6-3 victory as the Whitman College baseball team split a Northwest Conference doubleheader with Linfield on Saturday at Borleske Stadium.

Game 1
The opener saw Whitman (12-7, 4-4 NWC) unable to muster any offense against Wildcat starter John Over who allowed only two hits over six scoreless innings of work. Julien Hernadez was nearly as dominant on the mound for Blues. He also worked six complete, allowing only the one run on one hit with nine strikeouts. Neither would factor into the decision.

The opening fireworks for the Blues came in the bottom of the ninth off the Linfield bullpen. Mateus Conaway (1 H, 1 R) delivered a triple to open the inning for Whitman's first big hit of the game. On the next at bat, Parker (3 H, 1 R, 2 RBI) pulled a Gavin Ludlow pitch into left field as Conaway trotted home to tie the game.

Whitman threatened in the 10th and managed to put runners on second and third with two outs. AJ Romero would be unable to come up with the gamewinner as he struck out to end the inning. Parker came through one inning later with his solo homer to straightaway centerfield to win the game.

Meanwhile, the Blues had not missed a beat on the mound as Benjamin Seashore-Hobson was powering through the Linfield order after entering the game to start the seventh inning. In picking up the win (1-0), he allowed only three hits over five scoreless innings to keep the Blues alive in the game.

Trent Wainfield and Tyler Marr each led the Wildcats with two hits. Brian Mannion suffered the loss after entering the game and giving up the homerun to Parker.

Game 2
The nightcap saw the Whitman bats stymied for eight innings after an auspicious three-run first. In a reversal of the opener, Whitman's bats were alive early as three runs came across the plate for a rocky start for Koons. The Blues did their damage all with two outs as Beck Maguire and Garrett Runyan both delivered RBI hits to put Whitman up 2-0. Maguire later scored on a wild pitch to bring the lead to three runs.

Whitman's bats would go cold however and Linfield would score a pair of runs in the second and fifth innings to take the lead. Wainfield got the Wildcats on the scoreboard in a hurry and cut the lead to one with a two-run homer. 

Wyatt Adams settled in on the mound for the Blues but Linfield would get to him again three innings later. Back-to-back RBI hits by Kahn then Pasion put Linfield ahead for the first time at 4-3. 

Koons only lasted three innings but the Wildcat bullpen stepped up and held the Blues scoreless the remainder of the game. Linfield added a pair of insurance runs in the top of the ninth and closed the door on the Blues one half inning later.

Teague Conder and Nate Korahais both recorded two hits for the Blues with Conder adding one run. 

Hoskins and Pasion each posted two hits, one run and one RBI to lead the Wildcats.

Whitman and Linfield wrap up the series with a rubber match on Sunday, March 19 beginning at 12:00 p.m.
