Baseball Falls To Linfield In Series Finale

WALLA WALLA, Wash. - Russell Petersen pitched a beauty but the bullpen could not hold the lead as the Whitman College baseball team fell to Linfield 8-5 in Northwest Conference action on Saturday afternoon at Borleske Stadium.

The Blues entered the weekend with conference title hopes in the air, but after being on the wrong side of a three-game sweep they now sit outside of the top four spots and will have their work cut out for them just to qualify for the NWC Tournament.

Peterson worked seven plus innings and allowed two runs on three hits with six strikeouts. Both of Petersen's runs came after he had left the game with two runners on and no outs.

The Whitman bullpen was handed a 5-0 lead but allowed eight runs in the eighth inning as the tides quickly turned in favor of the Wildcats. 

The Blues had been living dangerously and held the game's only run through six and one-half innings. Whitman came alive in its half of the seventh, however, as both Beck Maguire and Halen Otte homered to give Petersen and the bullpen a solid late-inning lead.

Maguire led the Blues with three hits, one run and one RBI. Nate Petz and Nate Korahais both added two hits and scored a run.

The Blues will look to right the ship when they visit Pacific Lutheran next weekend.
