Bellevue College softball gained momentum heading into league play which begins this week by winning all six of their games at the NWAC Inter-Region Invite held at Regional Athletic Complex in Lacey, WA this weekend. On Friday March 10, Bellevue defeated Grays Harbor 16-3 and Centralia 9-1. In the Grays Harbor contest, Bellevue erupted for 15 runs in the first three innings to put the game away early. Sophomores Bri Attwood and Cierra Barkis both had 3 hits. Attwood had 4 RBI’s and a home run. Payton Gibbs and Justi Johnson also homered for BC. Kimber Tutt went the distance in the circle to go to 2-0 on the year and struck out 9 in the win.<\/p>\n

On Saturday March 11, the Bulldogs won 10-7 over Wenatchee Valley and 13-3 over traditional NWAC powerhouse Mount Hood (OR).\u00a0 In the highly-anticipated matchup against Mount Hood, Tutt and Gibbs split pitching duties with Tutt earning the win and Gibbs coming in and dominating. Gibbs went the final 1 2\/3 innings and did not allow a hit or run and struck out 4. At the plate, Gibbs did the damage as well, going 3-for-3 with 5 RBI’s. She homered again as did Becca Fortney. Hood, at one brief time, had the game tied up at 3 heading into the bottom of the third inning before Bellevue’s bats put it away. Both Gibbs’ and Fortney’s home runs came in the critical 3rd inning for the ‘dogs.<\/p>\n

On Sunday March 12, Bellevue defeated Chemeketa 12-2 and Clark 13-5. In the Clark game, Gibbs, once again, was a two-way dominator. In the circle, she struck out 8 in 5 innings of relief work for the win, and went a perfect 4-for-4 at the plate with 3 RBI’s. The Bulldogs pounded out 17 hits in the game that was ended early due to the run limit rule.<\/p>\n

Bellevue is now 10-2 and begins league play in the new three-region format this Thursday March 16 at Olympic. First pitch at Lyons Field in Bremerton is set for 1:00 p.m.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
