Runyan Homers In The Ninth, Blues Win Rubber Match

FOREST GROVE, Ore. - Garrett Runyan homered as part of a big ninth inning, lifting the Whitman College baseball team to a 5-1 rubber match victory at Pacific (Ore.) in Northwest Conference action on Sunday afternoon.

Whitman's big ninth inning came after the game had yielded only two total runs through eight complete innings. Mateus Conaway was stellar on the mound for the Blues (16-8, 7-5 NWC), scattering four hits over six scoreless innings with nine strikeouts. Benjamin Seashore-Hobson (2-0) tossed an inning-plus of scoreless work and picked up the win.

Koester led the Boxer offense with two hits. Tokishi and Colyer both posted a hit with Tokishi adding a run and Colyer an RBI. Okada was tagged with the loss in two and two-thirds innings of relief work.

After a scoreless six innings, the Blues struck first with a run in the seventh. Ben Parker (1 H, 2 R) drew a two-out walk then later scored on a Boxer miscue to put Whitman up.

Pacific tied the game one innings later. Braden Tagomori, inserted on the mound to start the eighth, allowed a pair of base runners before being lifted for Seashore-Hobson. Colyer was able to drive home the game-tying run with a base hit to left field.

Only one-half inning later, Runyan (1 H, 1 R, 3 RBI) broke the game open with one swing of the bat. Kepa Supnet (1 H, 1 R) led off the inning with a base hit and four batters later scored and broke the tie on a fielder's choice. With runners at the corners, Runyan crushed a homerun and put the Blues ahead for good at 5-1. 

The Blues will have a quick turnaround when they host a makeup doubleheader against Whitworth on Wednesday, March 29 beginning at 12:00 p.m.
