Leopards Open 2026 Season Against Whitworth

LA VERNE, CA — The University of La Verne baseball team opened their 2026 campaign at Ben Hines Field on Friday, falling to the Whitworth Pirates 5-1.

Justin Ries got the start for the Leopards, tossing five innings and allowing just two runs on four hits to keep La Verne within striking distance. Ryan Vosika tallied two hits and drew a walk, while Aaron Whobrey impressed in his debut at first base with key defensive plays and a hit at the plate. Nathan Perry also added a hit.

The Pirates came with power, hitting three solo home runs and setting the tone of the game early on. While the Leopards continued to get on base, drawing five walks as a team, they struggled to bring in runs, leaving a total of nine men on base. 

Aidan Salcedo drove in La Verne's only run of the day with a dribbler to Whitworth shortstop Yash Gupta with the bases loaded, allowing Whobrey to score.

The Leopards will be back in action on the road this upcoming Tuesday, February 17th against Cal State San Bernardino at 6 PM.
