TACOMA, Washington – Alex Sierra homered for the second consecutive day, and Nick Funyak went long for the fourth time this year, but the Puget Sound baseball team dropped its season finale, 6-5, at No. 19 Whitworth on Sunday afternoon.

Sierra launched his third home run of the season to centerfield to lead off the eighth inning. Funyak's fourth homer – a two-run shot – tied three other Loggers for the team lead (Nickolas Alarcio, Nathan Backes, Ian Hughes).

Puget Sound finished the season with 28 home runs, the program's most since the 2010 campaign.

Chris Zerio finished Sunday's game 3-for-4 with two runs. He became the second Logger in as many years to finish with 63 hits in a season, which ranks second all-time in the Puget Sound record books. Connor Savage came away with 63 hits in 2015. Head coach Jeff Halstead holds the program record with 66 hits, which he achieved in 2000.

The Loggers trailed, 2-0, entering the fourth inning when Funyak's home run evened the score. Whitworth immediately bounced back with four runs in the home half of the stanza to take a 6-2 lead.

Puget Sound managed to push three runs across the plate in the eighth inning. In addition to Sierra's solo home run, Alarcio clubbed a two-run double that scored both Funyak and Zerio.

Anthony Brady struck out six batters in just 2.2 scoreless innings out of the bullpen.
