The lanky lefty is still dealin’.

Coupeville grad Landon Roberts is currently playing fall ball with the Walla Walla College baseball squad and put together a stellar inning of work Friday.

He’s participating in a “friendly” Black vs. Gold World Series in a best-of-five rumble in which the team is split in half.

With each pitcher on the roster given a frame to work, Roberts faced four batters, whiffing three of them to help stake his guys to a 2-1 lead in the face-off.

The former Wolf, a three-sport star and CHS Athlete of the Year winner, is in his second season at Walla Walla.

Fall ball wraps up at the end of the month, with the Warriors returning to full-time action again next spring.

According to the team website, the first game against Blue Mountain is a mere 124 days away.

She’s a winner.
