Baseball Falls to Whitworth In Home Finale

Pioneers honored nine graduating seniors ahead of the final home game in 2024.

PORTLAND, Ore. – Lewis & Clark College baseball honored their nine graduating seniors in a brief ceremony before Sunday's final home game at Jerry Gatto Field against Whitworth University.
 
THE BASICS
 
Whitworth 8, Lewis & Clark 2
(Lewis & Clark 17-16-1, 8-10 NWC)
(Whitworth 21-11, 9-9 NWC)
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
 
Senior Jakob Ghammachi hit his third home run of the weekend and his second double to notch six extra-base hits against the Pirates over three games.
 
Junior Luke Ritter pitched four and third innings of relief, giving up two runs on four hits while striking out a season-high six batters as he works his way back into the lineup from injury.
 
Whitworth struck first in the second inning with a two-RBI double in the second inning off freshman Caden Hodina. The Pirates added two more unearned runs on a fielding error in the top of the third inning. Hodina's day ended in the top of the fourth after a final RBI double put Whitworth up 5-0. The righty was starting his first game since the end of March, threw three and two-thirds innings, gave up six hits, five runs, only three earned, and struck out two batters.
 
Ghammachi got a run back for Lewis and Clark in the bottom of the fourth inning with his third solo home run in the last two games. All three of his home runs were over the center field fence this weekend.
 
Freshman Micheal Aikawa pulled the Pioneers within 5-2 in the bottom of the sixth when he drove in junior Will Heron from third.
 
Whitworth added two more runs in the eighth and another in the ninth to avoid a weekend sweep by Lewis & Clark.
    
BY THE NUMBERS 
  • Ghammachi is currently in sole possession of eighth place on the career home list for the Pioneers with 21 career home runs.
  • Senior Justin Bailey started his 37th and played in his 45th career game today.
  • With two weekends left in the regular season the Pioneers sit a game out of the final playoff spot.
WHO'S NEXT
 
Lewis & Clark travels to Whitman to take on NWC-leading Whitman College in a three-game series that starts with a doubleheader at noon on Saturday.
