Whitefish Bulldog Baseball Falls to Corvallis in High Scoring Affair

    The Whitefish Bulldog Baseball team returned to action for the first time in several weeks, Tuesday, as they traveled to Corvallis for a non-conference game.

    This was the Dawgs first game since they played their opener, March 15th and 16th in Polson. They've had several games post-poned due to the weather.

    Whitefish would fall by a final score of 22-14.

    The Dawgs took an early 2-1 lead in the top of the second following a Drew Queen 2 RBI Double.

    Corvallis would capitalize in the bottom half of the inning, putting up nine runs in the bottom of the 2nd and held a 10-2 lead after the first two innings.

    Whitefish would find themselves down 12-2 entering the fourth, that's when the bats came alive. The Dawgs put up a 10-spot in the top of the fourth to tie things up at 12 a piece.

    Once again, Corvallis would answer in a big way, responding with a nine run bottom half. Corvallis led 21-12 after four innings and held on for the win.

    The Dawgs finished with 12 hits and 11 walks in the contest.

    Ryan Conklin, Brady Howke and Calvin Eisenbarth all had 2 hits each for the Dawgs to lead the way. Conklin and Queen each had 3 RBI's. C.J. Thew scored 3 runs for the Dawgs.

    Following all the action Whitefish falls to 0-3 on the season.

    Up Next: The Dawgs will take on arch rival, Columbia Fall, Thursday night at 7pm.

    On Friday, the Dawgs will make-up their game against Lincoln County, up in Eureka at 5pm.

    Both the C-Falls and Eureka games will be broadcast live on KSAM.
