Emma Jimenez clubbed a two-run home run while Bri Attwood went 3-for-4 with two doubles. The Bulldogs blew it open in the third inning as Justi Johnson smashed two-run home run which Jimenez followed up with her shot.
In game two, Pierce made things more interesting after spotting BC a 5-0 lead in the first inning by putting up two runs in the fourth inning followed by another three runs in the fifth inning to tie the game. After a scoreless sixth, BC had to put one across in the bottom of the seventh inning as starting pitcher Kimber Tutt blasted a one-out walk off home run to win it for Bellevue.
