Baseball Swept At Warner Pacific, Earns Series Split

PORTLAND, Ore. — The Whitman College baseball team dropped both ends of a Sunday doubleheader at Warner Pacific, falling 1-0 in a pitchers' duel in the opener before a 14-6 setback in the nightcap as the Blues settled for a split in the four-game, season-opening series.

Game 1
Jack Finn turned in a gem for the Blues, allowing just three hits and one run over six innings while striking out 10, but the Blues' offense couldn't break through against Warner Pacific starter Jaxen Hamada in the narrow 1-0 loss. 

Whitman out-hit the Knights 6–3 and put runners on base in six different innings, including doubles from Nick Teng in both the third and fifth, yet stranded 11 runners on the day. Hamada and the Warner Pacific bullpen worked out of repeated traffic, including a potential tying rally in the ninth that ended with a flyout to left.​

Warner Pacific plated the game's lone run in the third when Mitchell Thoma-Brit walked and came around to score on a two-out RBI single to center by catcher Giovanny Alvillar. Teng finished 2-for-4 with two doubles, while catcher Wyatt Miyamoto also collected a pair of hits.​

Game 2
The bats woke up in Game 2, but an early Warner Pacific surge proved too much to overcome as the Knights jumped out to a 6-0 lead after two innings and added a six-run fifth to pull away in a 14-6 decision. 

Whitman totaled 11 hits in the finale, highlighted by a monster day from catcher Halen Otte, who went 3-for-5 with two home runs and four runs batted in. Otte put the Blues on the board with a solo homer in the third, added an RBI single in a three-run fifth, and crushed a two-run shot in the sixth.​

The Blues' best push came in the middle innings. Trailing 7-1 in the fifth, Whitman strung together five hits, including Otte's RBI single and a two-run knock by second baseman Nate Petz, to cut the deficit to 7-4. After Warner Pacific answered with six runs in the bottom half, Otte's second homer, a two-run blast to left in the sixth, brought Whitman back within 13-6 before the Knights' bullpen closed the door. 

TJ Buehring added two hits and scored twice, while Petz finished 2-for-5 with two RBI.​
​
Whitman moves to 2–2 on the young season after taking the first two games of the series on Saturday. The Blues now head to California and will open up a three-game set at the University of Redlands on Friday, Feb. 20
