WALLA WALLA – Gifts from Whitman College alumni and parents are making a new clubhouse to serve the Whitman Blues baseball program beginning in its 2024 season possible.
Located behind the third base grandstand at Borleske Stadium, the $3.7 million, 3,300-square-foot clubhouse will include locker and training rooms. There will also be additional spaces for recruiting and multipurpose team meeting use.
“We are grateful for the generosity of alumni and families in helping us realize a baseball clubhouse facility at historic Borleske Stadium,” Director of Athletics Kim Chandler said. “This new facility provides a huge upgrade for our student-athlete experience.”
Fences were recently assembled at the clubhouse construction site as initial utility line work is underway. The clubhouse is expected to be open in February 2024, in time for the Blues baseball season. Walla Walla Sweets Baseball will also use the facility at Borleske during their summer collegiate seasons.
