Baseball wins marathon, but drops series to UPS

SPOKANE, Wash.—A Hunter Dryden base hit in the bottom of the sixteenth inning drove in the winning run in the longest game in Whitworth history, but Puget Sound's Brett Harvey pitched 7.2 innings and held the Pirates scoreless for the first six innings to secure a series win with a 12-5 victory in the series finale.

Whitworth (7-25 overall, 6-15 NWC) will finish out its Northwest Conference schedule next weekend at Lewis & Clark.  The Loggers improved to 16-14, 10-10 by winning the series

Game one: Whitworth 11, Puget Sound 10 (16 innings)
The Pirates walked off a win on Sunday after the game was suspended by darkness after 13 innings on Saturday night.

Neither team had scored since the seventh inning, and it took until the sixteenth—a program record for the longest game played—for a Hunter Dryden single up the middle to score Brendan Duncan from second.

Riley Whelan (1-0) picked up his first pitching win of the season, pitching three innings and giving up only one hit.

William Gross (0-1) picked up his first pitching loss of the season, throwing the final 2.1 frames and giving up four hits and one run.

Game two: Puget Sound 12, Whitworth 5
The Pirates rallied from an 8-0 deficit to within 8-5, but the Loggers added four in the ninth to retake control.

Puget Sound jumped out the second inning when Jackson Bolitho singled to drive in two runs. The Loggers also scored in the third on a Jacob Ota RBI single. Later in the inning, Makana Murashige doubled to score Ota, making it a 4-0 game.

Puget Sound added to their lead in the fifth inning when Murashige was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded to score another run.   Dylan Joyce singled to left field in the sixth to score Gross to go ahead 6-0.

The Loggers added two more runs in the seventh inning when Murashige scored on an error and a Jackson Bolitho groundout tallied the eighth unanswered run.

Jarred Yara responded with a solo home run for the Pirates in the seventh inning. In the eighth, Jaxsen Sweum was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded, and in the next at-bat, JJ Fahnlander was walked to bring in another run and cut the lead 8-3. Yara drove in two more runs with an RBI single to get the Bucs within 8-5.

Puget Sound cemented their lead in the ninth inning when a Gross goundout scored Murashige, and a Joyce single scored Kim. Shane Himeda scored the final two runs with an RBI single.

Hunter Dryden (2-4) picked up the loss for the Pirates, giving up six hits and five runs in four innings of work.  Four relievers followed for the Bucs. 

Harvey (2-1) got the win, allowing five runs on four hits and three walks in 7.2 innings. Harvey also had six strikeouts.
