TACOMA, Wash. - The Pacific Lutheran University baseball team cranked out 12 runs on Tuesday but was unable to come away with the victory against host University of Puget Sound, falling 17-12 in a rollercoaster seven-inning non-conference tilt.

The Lutes (21-15) plated two runs in the top of the first and held a 6-2 advantage heading into the bottom of the second but was sabotaged by a nine-run inning from the Loggers (15-18). PLU added four runs in the sixth and another in the seventh but was unable to dig out of the early deficit.

Jude Rowley led the Lutes at the plate, going two-for-four with three runs scored. Armond Swanson III, Anthony Adams, Ethan Keintz, and Samuel Flynn each collected a pair of RBIs while Sam Richardson was able to score a pair of runs.

Six Lutes took the mound on Tuesday with Cole Forde highlighting the night, tossing 1 1/3 innings and allowing no hits and no runs while striking out one. Jack Hannah and Matt Franceschina both collected a pair of strikeouts.

The Lutes close out the regular season this weekend with a four-game series against Northwest Conference rival Linfield University. Action begins at 12 p.m. on Saturday in McMinnville, Oregon.
