After enjoying a relatively easy victory start to another NWC series thanks to a one-hit shutout spun by Chris Haddeland, top-ranked Linfield had to dig deep and unearth some late-inning offensive magic to rally for an 11-inning victory over Whitman at Borleske Stadium. Down 10-1 through four innings, the Wildcats avoided a second NWC setback by spouting off a whopping 12 runs in the later stages of the game, including six in the sixth frame.
