Blues Split A Pair Against Puget Sound

WALLA WALLA, Wash. - The Whitman College baseball team opened its four-game Northwest Conference series against the University of Puget Sound by splitting a high-scoring doubleheader Sunday at Borleske Stadium, falling 18-10 in the opener before rallying for a 14-13 win in the nightcap.

In the opener, Whitman erased an early deficit to pull within one multiple times, but Puget Sound's offense used big innings in the sixth, eighth and ninth to pull away 18-10. The Loggers finished with 15 hits and drew 12 walks, turning traffic on the bases into 18 runs despite 13 hits from the Blues.​

Halen Otte led Whitman at the plate, going 4-for-5 with four runs scored and two runs driven in, including a two-run home run in the third inning that cut the deficit to 4-3. Landon Runyan added two hits and an RBI, while Nick Teng doubled and drove in two as part of a four-run sixth that brought Whitman back within 8-7. Christopher Nobrega came off the bench to deliver a two-run single in that same frame and later added a three-RBI line in the box score, helping Whitman stay within striking distance.​

Puget Sound answered with four runs in the seventh and five more in the ninth to put the game out of reach. Matt Churchill paced UPS with three hits and six RBI, including a grand slam in the sixth, while Cooper Allen drove in three and Ethan Nakamura and Armand Lettiere combined for four more RBI.​

Whitman flipped the script in game two, building an early lead and then surviving a late UPS push to secure a 14-13 victory. The Blues scored three in the second, then broke the game open with six runs in the fourth and four more in the fifth to go up 13-5 before holding off a four-run Logger rally in the ninth.​

Wyatt Miyamoto and Nick Teng sparked the offense from the middle of the order, each going 3-for-4 with three runs scored and an RBI. Luke Malzewski added two hits and a pair of RBI, while Tristan Buehring collected two hits and drove in two from the leadoff spot as Whitman finished with 12 hits and drew seven walks.

Designated hitter Noah Braunel contributed a pair of RBI, and Halen Otte matched Buehring with two driven in as eight different Blues recorded at least one RBI in the win.​

On the mound, starter Oliver Brown earned the victory, working five innings and limiting UPS to four hits and five runs while striking out three. Ryder Peterson and Dylan Colvin combined to get Whitman through the final four innings as UPS mounted its comeback, with the final out coming on a ground ball to second to strand the tying run after Jim O'Brien's three-run double tightened the score in the ninth.

The series concludes on Monday with another doubleheader slated to begin at 11:00 a.m.
