He was one of the rookies in the [[3086]] Championship.
  
In week four he was paired against [[Cathy Anderson]]. The fight was very exciting. Blaine's ''Stalker'' and Anderson's ''[[Highlander]]'' fought a long-range battle. Though it seemed that Blaine had gotten the upper hand when an [[LRM]] volley stripped the armor off of Anderson's right leg, Anderson managed to keep her ''Highlander'' intact long enough for time to expire and gain a draw.<ref name="SRDw4">''The Season at Rankar's Deep'', "Week 4"</ref>

For his match in week twelve, he was paired against [[Neil Oldenwhite]] in a fight for the lead of Class Five, as if he won he would take the lead. Though Neil was having a poor season, he still was a cagey [[Rankar's Deep|Deep]] veteran. Blaine started the match by trying to crack Oldenwhite's ''[[Atlas (BattleMech)|Atlas]]'' armor at long-range. But Oldenwhite's return fire was more accurate, forcing Blaine's ''Stalker'' to fall back. Oldenwhite continued winning the long-range fight, the missiles from the ''Atlas'' scoring armor from the ''Stalker''. Losing the fight, Blaine changed tactics and moved in, which proved to be a mistake. At close range, the two titans traded hammer blows, with Blaine coming off the worse. Oldenwhite stripped the ''Stalker'''s armor off in chunks, leaving Blaine with gaping holes in his armor. Blaine fell back, but Oldenwhite went on the offense and the match ended when Blaine's machine lost both legs within seconds of each other, giving Oldenwhite the win, and Susan Belden the divisional lead.<ref name="SRDw12"/>

His match in week 12, he was paired against [[Neil Oldenwhite]] in a fight for the lead of Class Five, as if he won he would take the lead. Though Neil was having a poor season, he still was a cagey [[Rankar's Deep|Deep]] veteran. Blane started the match by trying to crack Oldenwhite's ''[[Atlas]]'' armor at long-range. But Oldenwhite's return fire was more accurate, forcing Blane's ''Stalker'' to fall back. Oldenwhite continued winning the long-range fight, the ''Atlas''' missiles scoring armor from the ''Stalker''. Losing the fight, Blane changed tactics and moved in, which proved to be a mistake. At close range, the two titans traded hammer blows, with Blane coming off the worse. Oldenwhite stripped the ''Stalker'''s armor off in chunks, leaving Blane with gaping holes in his armor.

After week twelve, he was ranked fifth. The Class Five Division was still anyone's to take, with the top five separated by five points. Susan Belden, Meg Shaw, Peter Blaine, [[Thomas Colby]], and [[Theo Forzine]] would go into the second half of the season with an excellent chance of being declared the Division champion.<ref name="SRDbbls">''The Season at Rankar's Deep'', "Branson Brewery League Standings"</ref>

At mid season, he was ranked fifth, with the top five contenders separated by five points. Susan Belden, Meg Shaw, Peter Blaine, [[Thomas Colby]], and [[Theo Forzine]].<ref name="SRDbbls">''The Season at Rankar's Deep'', "Branson Brewery League Standings"</ref>
  
 
Peter was paired in his week fourteen match again against Neil Oldenwhite. This time Peter seized the chance and bested Neil Oldenwhite, using his ''Stalker'''s firepower to keep Oldenwhite's ''Atlas'' from closing on him and using the massive autocannon.<ref name="SRDw14">''The Season at Rankar's Deep'', "Week 14"</ref>

Prior to the matches of week eighteen [[Thomas Colby]] was still holding first place in the Class Five Division, with [[Susan Belden]] three points behind. Third was [[Isadore Kelly]], who had forced his way into contention, passing both Peter Blaine and Meg Shaw.<ref name="SRDw18">''The Season at Rankar's Deep'', "Week 18"</ref>
 
 
For week eighteen, Susan Belden and Peter Blaine squared off in a match both needed to keep pace with Colby. Belden used her ''[[Victor]]'s'' speed and [[jump jets]] to keep the match mobile. Blaine's ''Stalker'' came close to overheating as he tried to slow the elusive ''Victor'', but the wily Belden waited for her chance and struck hard, targeting the ''Stalker's'' already damaged leg. The blitz was successful, shattering both the ''Stalker's'' hip and knee actuators, and sending Blaine into a nosedive that knocked him out for several minutes. Officials immediately ended the match, leaving Belden with the win.<ref name="SRDw18"/>
 
 
After the match, when the technicians examined the Longbow's ammo dump systems, they found evidence that the release plate was welded in place, making it impossible for the ammo to be dumped. This discovery has prompted BBL officials to request an investigation team from the [[Solaris Game Commission]]. Security was also stepped up for all Stables, and safety inspections will increase for all 'Mechs fighting in the BBL.<ref name="SRDwNI">''The Season at Rankar's Deep'', "News Items"</ref>
