Baseball Splits Doubleheader With Vassar

The opener saw an offensive explosion by the Blues (6-5) which included homeruns by Jack Bickerton, Beck Maguire and Halen Otte. All three posted three hits and three runs with Bickerton and Maguire adding two RBI and Otte adding four more.

Whitman staffed the game on the mound with Cole Kreber earning the win. He worked the second and third innings and gave up a run, two hits with two strikeouts. Danny Wellner was tagged with the loss after allowing six runs in the first inning.

Jensen Bergman led the way for the Brewers with three hits and an RBI.

The Blues jumped on the Brewers early with six runs in the first inning and five more in the third to take a 12-1 lead. Whitman batted through the order which saw Bickerton and Maguire both reach base twice and Nathan Wilson drive home a pair of runs with a base hit. AJ Romero had an impressive game as well with two hits, two runs and two RBI.

Otte continued his scorching start to the season belting his fifth homerun of the season one inning later to tack on another run to put Whitman up 7-0. The Blues all but put the game away with five more runs in third. Nick Teng provided the big hit of the inning with his three-run triple, scoring Romero, Otte and Mateus Conaway to make it a 12-1 score.

Otte's two-run double in the fifth and Maguire's two-run homer one inning later extended the lead to 19-3, but Vassar made a late surge in the ninth. Noah Stockman crushed a three-run homer over the left field fence, but that would be it for the Brewers as Whitman closed the door and took game one.

Four players had multi-hit games in the nightcap but the Blues were unable to pull out the victory. 

In a reversal of starts, Vassar struck first with a pair of runs in the first. The Brewers then extended the lead to six runs and put four on the board in the third. Stockman provided the big hit of the inning, capping it with his two-run single to give Vassar the big early lead.

Whitman's bats finally arrived in its half of the third. Maguire (1 H, 1 RBI) and Bickerton (2 H, 2 R, 2 RBI) scored their team's first two runs and Sam Mieszkowski-Lapping (2 H, 1 R, 3 RBI) doubled home Otte to slice the lead in half at 6-3. 

With Rylan Burigsay on to steady the tide, Whitman leveled the scoreline with two runs in the fourth and another in the fifth. Bickerton drove home Anthony Ahu-Fisher with a run-scoring triple then scored on a Vassar throwing error to cut the lead to one in the fourth. One inning later, Nate Korahais alertly scampered home on a wild pitch to tie the game a 6-6.

Vassar reclaimed the lead one half-inning later, but Mieszkowski-Lapping gave the Blues their first lead in the bottom half of the sixth. He deposited a Barriento pitch well over the left centerfield fence for three runs and a 9-7 Whitman lead.

The eighth inning saw the Brewers put five runs on the board and snatch the lead right back. Vassar scored to cut the lead to one and Bradley Markind tied the game with an RBI single. Russell Petersen, inserted on the mound for the Blues to start the inning, then gave up a three-run homer to Daniel Laderman and Whitman found itself trailing 12-9 through seven and one-half innings.

The Blues put a pair of tying runs in scoring position in the ninth but were unable to complete a late-inning rally and settled for the twinbill split.

Whitman heads to McMinnville this weekend for a three-game non-conference series against Alfred State.
