Langley Blaze's Dayton Wilson slides home safely during his team's 3-1 win over the Victoria Mariners on Sunday at McLeod Park. The Blaze were also in action on Tuesday, splitting a doubleheader with the Whalley Chiefs.

After pushing their win streak to four games with an 8-3 victory over the Whalley Chiefs, the Langley Blaze could not complete the doubleheader sweep, falling 5-1 in game two.

The two U18 Premier Baseball League teams squared off at Whalley Park on Tuesday night.

Langley had won their previous three games, 9-2 over Abbotsford last Friday and 3-1 and 7-4 over Victoria on Sunday and the Blaze (13-4) sit a half-game behind first-place North Shore (11-3).

The Blaze trailed the Chiefs 2-1 heading into the fifth inning before they exploded for five runs. They tacked on another two in the sixth for the 8-3 win.

Parker Logan pitched a complete game with five strikeouts while Yi-Fan Pan, Kurt Meeberg, Connor Chorpita and Dakota Curry drove in a run apiece.

Curry had the lone RBI the next game as well with a sixth-inning double.

Langley had fallen behind 5-0 after two innings but could not rally for a second straight game.

Kristjan Storrie was tagged with the loss, allowing four earned runs on two hits and four walks. He did strike out three.

The Blaze look to return to the win column as they host the Coquitlam Reds (4-12) on Saturday at McLeod Park. Game times are noon and 2:30 p.m.
