Bremerton, WASH - The Walla Walla Sweets (10-8) completed the sweep against the Kitsap BlueJackets (6-12) with an odd 10-3 win on Thursday night. The game was delayed twice. Once by rain in the eighth and once by the field lights shutting off in the ninth inning.

Both teams traded a run in the seventh, but the Sweets then exploded for six runs in the top of the eighth to take a 10-3 lead. It was a season high for the Sweets in runs and hits with 14.

Jackson Weeg (Emory) got the start and the win for the Sweets to improve to 3-0 on the year. He went six innings, just giving up two runs and striking out six.

Connor Doyle (San Diego) went 4-4 and reached base five times. Patrick Chung (Gonzaga) went 3-3 and also reached five times. Zach Weisz (Cal State Fullerton) picked up three RBIs in the win.
