Mar. 28 by scores of 4-2 and 8-2 before dropping a pair at home against Everett 4-0 and 12-1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Saturday&#8217;s wins, Thomas Wood and Mason Smithwick combined for 11 strikeouts as Wood tossed a shutout through four and Smithwick went five innings in long relief for the save. The &#8216;dogs scored the game winner in the fifth as Ethan Sugimoto stole both second and third before a Thoma Holden sac fly drove him in. The Bulldogs took advantage of an error, hit batter and two walks in rough inning for Shoreline&#8217;s pitchers in a 4-run seventh to take the decisive lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Sunday&#8217;s tough opening loss, the &#8216;dogs could muster only four hits as catcher Braeden Reese had two of them. Cooper Richter matched Everett ace Sawyer Wickstrom through the first five innings in a pitchers&#8217; duel as Richter ended up the hard luck loser with 9 strikeouts while walking none in a stellar effort. In the finale, Bellevue jumped ahead 1-0 and showed game control while starting pitcher Will Woodward dominated Everett hitters with another shutout performance striking out four of the six batters faced. Woodward exited after reaching a pitch count limit in his late return to the baseball team after finishing off an MVP season on the hardwood for Bellevue&#8217;s basketball team. Unfortunately, all momentum that Woodward established for Bellevue was lost once he exited in the 12-1 drubbing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bellevue is 5-3 in league and finishes up the first round of league play this Fri. Apr. 3 with a 4 P.M. doubleheader at Edmonds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BC Athletics Bellevue College baseball split four games over the weekend, topping Shoreline in a doubleheader on Sat.
