Whitehall's late rally fell short against Western Michigan Christian Friday in a GMAA play-in game Friday, and the Vikings lost 6-5.
Whitehall scored three times in the final inning to bring the tying run to the plate, but an Evan Thomas lineout ended the game.
Brock Morningstar helped spearhead the three-run rally with an RBI double in the seventh inning. Eli Winters then hit a sacrifice fly, and a second runner came across to score on an error by the Warriors.
Morningstar and Winters each had two hits in the game, as did Justin Jensen. Thomas pitched 2 1/3 innings of relief, allowing one earned run on one hit and striking out four.
