Baseball team snaps 18 Game Losing Streak to College of Idaho in Split
Caldwell, Idaho – The Missionaries ended an eighteen game losing streak against the College of Idaho and matched their win total for all of last season when they took the opener of a doubleheader today at Wolfe Field, 10 – 1. The win gave Whitman its fifth victory of the season – the team won 5 games in 2012. In the second game, the Coyotes prevailed 15 – 3, evening the Whits mark at 5 – 5. CI improved to 5 – 7.
Designated hitter Aaron Cohen (Jr., Juneau, AK) provided a hot bat (3 – 4 and 4 RBI’s) and pitcher Justin Weeks (Sr., Palos Verdes, CA) stymied the Yotes’ bats in game 1. Cohen ripped a single to drive in the first two runs of the game in a 4 – run first inning that provided more than enough for Weeks who gave up just 1 earned run over seven innings of work (the first game was limited to 7 innings).
After Cohen’s 2 RBI’s, catcher Jonny Lari (Jr., Eugene, OR) singled in two more runs to cap the offensive outburst in the first. The Yotes struck back for 1 run in the bottom of the second and the score remained 4 – 1 until the Missionaries struck for 5 more in the top of the fifth. After a Casey Minnick (Jr., Portland, OR) single and an Ozzy Braff (Fr., Palo Alto, CA) double down the line to put runners at 2nd and 3rd, Cohen delivered another single, scoring Minnick. Cohen stole second and then three consecutive walks brought home Braff and Cohen to make it 7 – 1 with the bases still loaded. Right-fielder Kyle Buckham (Jr., Bellingham, WA) singled to right to tag on two more before the top of the fifth ended with the Whits up 9 – 1.
Whitman added its final run in the sixth when Cohen wrapped his third single and fourth RBI of the game, plating Minnick who had led off with a double.
Weeks scattered 9 hits over the 7 innings, striking out 2 and walking only 1.
In the nightcap, the Missionaries took an early 1 – 0 lead in the top of the 2nd when Cohen continued his hot hitting, smacking a double to lead off the inning. He came home on a single by 3rd baseman Eli Mathieu (So., Seattle, WA). The Yotes scored three in the bottom of the 3rd off starter Dakota Matherly (Jr., Park City, UT) and broke open the game with 6 in the bottom of the 7th off an assortment of Whitman relievers to take a 10 – 1 lead.
Matherly took the loss for the Whits, giving up 4 earned runs over 4 complete.
The Missionaries are back in action March 2 and 3 when they visit Puget Sound for a three-game series to open up the conference season. Saturday’s doubleheader is slated for 11 am and Sunday’s single game for 12-noon.
