Baseball Drops Two Against Redlands

REDLANDS, Calif. - The Whitman College baseball team dropped both ends of a doubleheader at Redlands on Saturday, falling 16–2 in the opener and 10–9 in a back-and-forth nightcap decided by a walk-off single. The Bulldogs completed a three-game sweep with the twinbill, moving Whitman to 2–5 on the season.

Game 1
Redlands jumped on top early and never let up, scoring five runs in the first inning and four more in the second on the way to a 16–2 win in seven innings. The Bulldogs finished with 13 hits and took advantage of eight walks to put the game out of reach by the middle innings.​

Whitman tallied both of its runs in the fifth, when Wyatt Miyamoto opened the frame with a triple and scored on a sacrifice fly from Jonah Chang before Christopher Nobrega followed with a solo home run to right. Nobrega finished 2-for-4 with the homer, while Miyamoto, Nobrega, Chang, Christian Rivera and others combined for seven Whitman hits.​

On the mound, five Whitman pitchers combined to navigate Redlands' deep lineup, with Kengo Shirokane working a scoreless sixth inning to close out the game.​

Game 2
The nightcap turned into a slugfest, with Whitman erasing an early 6–2 deficit and building a late lead before Redlands rallied for a 10–9 walk-off victory in the ninth. The Blues scored in five different innings and pounded out 12 hits, but the Bulldogs answered with a three-run seventh and the game-winning knock in the ninth to seal the sweep.​

After Redlands went up 2–0 in the first and 6–2 after two, Whitman chipped away with a two-run second, a two-run fourth and a four-run fifth to surge in front. In the fifth, Halen Otte delivered a ground-rule double to left-center to plate a run, Landon Runyan followed with an RBI single, and Nick Teng added a run-scoring single as Whitman sent multiple runners across to grab an 8–6 advantage.​

Otte's second extra-base hit of the day — a solo home run to left in the seventh — pushed the Whitman lead to 9–6. Redlands, however, answered with three runs in the bottom half, capped by RBI hits from Tait Barsness and pinch-hitter Aidan Wilson to tie the game at 9–9.​

Whitman threatened again in the late innings but left two runners on in both the eighth and ninth. In the bottom of the ninth, Redlands drew a leadoff walk, sacrificed the runner to second, and then got the decisive swing when Tino Gerosa lined a single to right-center to drive in the winning run.​

Runyan led the Blues' offense in game two, going 4-for-5 with a home run, double and three runs scored, while Teng went 3-for-4 with two walks, a double and three runs driven in. Otte added a 2-for-5 line with a homer, two extra-base hits and three RBI as Whitman's middle of the order powered the comeback bid.​

The Blues close out their Southern California swing with a, 11:00 a.m. single game on Sunday at Pomona-Pitzer.
