With the loss, Bellevue moved into the bottom bracket and a matchup with Chemeketa Community College.\u00a0 Down 13-1 the Bulldogs staged a late rally with a seven run fifth inning, but could not get over the hump and saw their season come to a close with a 8-13 loss.\u00a0 Christine Miller-Long suffered only her second loss of the season.<\/p>\n
In spite of their struggles at the tournament, the Lady Bulldogs put together one of the finest seasons in BCC softball history.\u00a0 Bellevue finished with a 42-6 overall record, a 34-2 mark in the Northern Region, and the Regional Championship.\u00a0 It was the fourth NWAACC appearance in four years under head coach Coach Leah Francis, and the team\u2019s third Northern Region Championship in four years as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
