Right hander Joey Wagman (Cal-Poly) had an impressive showing on the mound in the win over the Elks. He pitched a full 9 innings for the Sweets, holding the league-leaders to only 4 hits, and mowing them down with 6 strikeouts on 112 pitches.
Elliot Stewart (Cal-Poly) extended his hitting streak to 9 games in the first inning with a deep RBI double off the fence, scoring lead-off batter Kevin Kuntz (Kansas). Matt Comer (Seattle University) sweetened the lead when a high fly ball to right field was lost in the sun. Stewart scored to make things 2 – 0.
Walla Walla’s second baseman Adrian Williams (UCLA) was a defensive force against Bend. He was responsible for a key double play early in the game, and later in the night he made a phenomenal diving stop and threw out a runner from one knee.
Bend kept things interesting when a fly ball in the 4th inning was missed, allowing a run to score, and cut the lead 2 – 1. Despite the loss, Elks right fielder Chris Viegas (OSU) hit well Saturday, going an impressive 2 – 2 from the plate.
