HILLSBORO, Ore. — Kurtis Kloke left the yard, while Paul Wolfram picked up a victory in game one of a NWC doubleheader against the visiting Whitman Blues at Ron Tonkin Field.

Playing at the home of the Hillsboro Hops, the Boxers topped Whitman 3-2 in game one and fell 14-4 in the second game.

Game One: Pacific 3, Whitman 2
Wolfram (Las Vegas, Nev.) struck out six Blues in 5.2 innings of work, while Kloke (San Bernardino, Calif.) recorded a pair of hits in the Boxers' game one victory.

Kloke got the scoring started for Pacific on the third pitch of the second inning as he launched a solo home run over the left field wall to give Pacific a 1-0 lead.

Whitman answered with a run in the third before Pacific's Dylan Wright (Gilbert, Ariz.) drew a one-out wak in the fourth. A groundout allowed Wright to reach third, where he would score easily on a triple to right center by Joey Galeno (Auburn, Wash.).

Pacific added a third run in the fifth inning when Brandon Henderson (Pearl City, Hawaii) walked to lead off the frame. Henderson reached second on a groundout and scampered to third on an infield single by Eli Wisdom (La Grande, Ore.). On a 1-2 pitch, Charlie Dietrich (Aberdeen, Wash.) plated Henderson on an infield single to give the Boxers a 3-1 lead.

Whitman added a second and final run in the sixth, before Pacific shut down the Blues over the final three innings.

Kloke notched two hits, while Galeno, Kloke and Dietrich all finished with a RBI each. On the mound, Wolfram picked up the win with six strikeouts, while Cody Ahlgrimm (Colorado Springs, Colo.) tossed 1.2 innings of one-hit ball and Spencer Backstrom (Bellingham, Wash.) closed out the game with five strikeouts on his way to his third save.

Game Two: Whitman 14, Pacific 4
Dietrich recorded two hits in game two as Whitman topped Pacific 14-4.

Pacific opened the bottom of the fifth with a first pitch Henderson single. Henderson was lifted and replaced by pinch runner Dante Filippini (Three Forks, Mont.), who advanced to second on a single from Josh Keithly (Mission Viejo, Calif.). A one-out double to left center by Wisdom scored Filippini, while a groundout by Dietrich scored Keithly for the Boxers' second run.
