stallard, milner to call baseball play-by-play

The Linfield Sports Network continues to bring fans live action of all home Linfield baseball games in 2023. Fans can enjoy live video webcasts and play-by-play commentary on their computer, tablet, mobile device or Smart TV.

Live coverage begins 10 minutes prior to the start of each match. Broadcasts include a complete postgame wrap-up with analysis and statistical breakdown.

Linfield senior Jack Stallard begins his second season as the play-by-play voice of Wildcats baseball. Stallard, a current member of the Linfield men’s basketball team, will also mix-in as an occasional color commentator. Stallard started out in broadcasting for the LSN in 2021, calling play-by-play for baseball and softball.

Also contributing play-by-play is Isaac Milner, who began his broadcasting experience with the LSN by calling soccer matches, providing color commentary on basketball broadcasts, handling occasional play-by-play duties for volleyball, basketball and softball as well as providing crucial production support on football, softball, tennis and swimming webcasts.

LSN live broadcasts are under the direction of the athletic department’s Broadcast Operations Coordinator, Joe Stuart. In his second year in the position, Stuart oversees all technical production and management of LSN broadcasts as well as providing play-by-play commentary on football, basketball, baseball and softball webcasting in addition to assisting with other athletics communications needs. All LSN broadcasts, both live and on demand, can be accessed at golinfieldwildcats.com/watch or in the Linfield Athletics app on mobile, tablet or smart TVs.

We are proud to serve as the team physicians for Linfield College, McMinnville High School and the See Ya Later Foundation.

Kate Walkup receives NWC Women’s Swimmer of the Week after clutch performances against Whitman and Whitworth

Kate Walkup recently became the third member of the Linfield women’s swimming team to secure NWC StudentAthlete of the Week honors, joining junior Whitney Averill and freshman Sarah Arpag. She won four individual events on the weekend and was a member of two winning relay teams against the Blues and Pirates.

The senior was responsible for 18 individual points in each meet. In a 136-69 win over Whitman on Friday, Walkup was a part of a 200-yard medley relay squad that finished first in a time of 1:51.09. She returned to the pool later in the day to claim a win in the 100 butterfly at 59.97 seconds before clocking 1:01.19 to edge teammate Avery Campbell for a win in the 100 backstroke.

A native of Eugene, Walkup continued to shine in the Wildcats’ 143-55 rout of Whitworth on Senior Day. She earned top honors in the 200 freestyle at 2:00.81 and provided the ‘Cats with a winning effort in the 200 backstroke at 2:11.50. She capped off a successful dual for Linfield by helping the 400 freestyle relay team win by more than 10 seconds at 3:45.61.

The ‘Cats completed a perfect 8-0 in dual meets and now prepare for the NWC Championships on Feb. 9-12 in Federal Way, Wash.
