Wolves baseball is eager to get its season started, but the season doesn’t want to start for Wolves baseball.
A slated double header against Concordia in Monmouth was rained out at the start of February. In last weekend’s trip to Fresno, the rain allowed only two games to be played out of a scheduled four.
Western Oregon garnered a 1-1 record out of the scheduled six games.
The first game of the season saw Western trail 5-4 before putting up a three-run eighth inning to rally over Fresno Pacific.
Sophomore shortstop Garrett Anderson scored two runs in the 7-5 victory. Sophomore first baseman Koty Fallon hit in two RBIs.
The second game had excellent pitching blaze five scoreless innings. Senior right hander Elias Bedolla was pitching a no-hitter going into the sixth inning when everything went upside down. The first run came on an RBI when Bedolla hit the Fresno batter with bases loaded.
Western Oregon would commit two errors and give up a total of seven runs, three of which were unearned.
Western lost the second game, 0-7.
The Wolves are in San Diego this weekend. NBC San Diego reports rain in the forecast.
