Blues Fall To Whitworth In Season Finale, Honor Seniors

WALLA WALLA, Wash. - The Whitman College baseball team closed the season in bittersweet fashion. The Blues honored their nine seniors prior to a must-win game against Whitworth, but came up short 6-2 to Whitworth and fell one game short of qualifying for the NWC Tournament.

Seniors Brayden Tagomori, Brandon Ting, Nik Greb, Jack Bickerton, Rylan Burigsay, Nate Korahais, Wyatt Adams, Beck Maguire and AJ Romero were honored pregame and will go down as members of a Blues team that posted three straight 20-win seasons for the first time in nearly a century.

The Blues (21-19, 12-12 NWC) entered the final day of the Northwest Conference season needing both a win and a Linfield loss, but neither result transpired. Russell Petersen took the loss and left the game in the fourth inning after failing to record an out.

The game got away from the Blues early as the Bucs plated three in the second inning and another pair in the third for the early 5-0 lead. Back-to-back RBI hits in the second and a two-run homer from Molenda (5-5, 3 R, 2 RBI) one inning later highlighted the early offense.

Rylan Burigsay gave the Blues every chance to get back in the game, navigating his team out of a bases loaded jam in the third inning and allowing only one unearned run in his six innings of relief work. 

Whitman finally made some noise, scoring a pair in the eighth inning to cut the lead to four runs. Nate Petz led off the inning with a homer before back-to-back doubles by Jonah Chang (2 H, 1 R) and Beck Maguire (2 H, 1 RBI) added another run. That would be all the offense the Blues would muster as they failed to score in the final two innings.
