Quinton Hall of the Whalley Chiefs scored one run and drove in two others in a 5-4 loss to the Langley Blaze.

Scoring the winning run in the bottom of the seventh inning, the Langley Blaze handed the Whalley Chiefs their second loss in three starts Tuesday night.

The Blaze got the walk-off win when Daniel Martin was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded to score Gus Wilson from third base, giving the Blaze a 5-4 win in a B.C. Premier Baseball League game at McLeod Park in Langley.

After falling behind 4-3 after two innings, the Blaze tied the score with a pair of doubles in the fifth inning.

The Chiefs went up 1-0 in the top of the first inning when Quinton Hall hit a one-out triple then scored on a sacrifice fly by Nolan Weger.

After the Blaze scored three times in their half of the opening inning, Whalley responded with three of their own in the top of the second. Stephen Horner scored on an error by the Blaze infield, then Hall singled to score Jared Allemann and Ataru Yamaguchi.

The Chiefs, now at 1-2 (win-loss) in league play, are scheduled to host the 0-4 Victoria Eagles for a double header Saturday at 1 p.m. at Whalley Stadium.
