Central Kitsap edged out Bellarmine(0-1, 1-1) in a close contest at Bellarmine Prep by a score of 2-0. Central grabbed the lead early by scoring a run in the top of the first on a miscue by Bellarmine. The teams traded zeros until the 6th, when Central was able to add an insurance run, once again helped by a fielding error by the Lions.
The Lions hung close the whole game, and actually out hit Central 5 hits to 3, but were unable to get that key hit to bring home a run. Twice Bellarmine left a runner at third to end an inning.
Bellarmine's Anna Olson had another strong outing on the mound, giving up only 3 hits, and did not allow an earned run, keeping her season ERA at 0.00. Olson and catcher Ciarra Pederson did a great job of keeping the Central Kitsap hitters off balance at the plate. Olson's record now stands at 1-1, 0-1 in league play.
Bellarmine had 5 hits, all by different players. Pederson, Lynsey Moroz, Pagie Redmon, Leah Barta and Alex Pollastro collected one hit a piece.
A lot of positives came from this game, even though it was a loss. The Lions saw they could play toe to toe with last years Bay Division champions, who twice beat the Lions by 10 runs last season.
Next up on the schedule for Bellarmine is a trip to North Kitsap on Wednesday.
