WHITTIER, Calif. – The University of Redlands baseball team (14-14, 6-10) got run-ruled at Whittier College, 11-1, Friday afternoon as they recorded only six hits and allowed 15.

The Bulldogs first scoring opportunity came in the second when Sebastian Mejorado singled to third base to lead off the inning. Then with one out Gabriel Ceja advanced Mejorado to second with a walk. The next two batters, though, struck out and grounded into a fielder's choice to strand two runners.

Trailing 1-0 heading into the bottom of the fourth the Bulldogs allowed six runs on seven hits.

In the seventh the Bulldogs got on the board with an RBI-single from Jake Burgess as Luke Hanson scored as a pinch runner. The Poets would get out of the inning with their third double play.

Whittier pushed three more runs across the plate in the bottom of the seventh inning. Redlands kept pushing, though, as pinch hitter Mason Chetcuti started the eighth with a single to left. He was pinch ran for by Sean McCance, but a fourth double play eliminated him and put two outs on the board.

Jared Anderson hit a two-out single up the middle, but the inning would come to an end on a fielder's choice.

The Poets took advantage of the Bulldogs not scoring in the top half as they ended the game with a double to win with the 10-run rule.

Luke De Vries was the lone Bulldogs to reach base multiple thanks to two hits. The pitching staff allowed 15 hits, walked six Poets, and hit two more.

The Bulldogs will return to the field tomorrow morning with a home doubleheader against the Poets at The Yard starting at 11:00 a.m.
