Olympia 13 Bellarmine 7 (9 innings)

The Lions had a tough extra inning loss to the Olympia Bears last week. The Lions came back and tied the game in the bottom of the 7th, and had the winning run at third with one out in the 8th. But ended up giving up 8 runs to Olympia in the top of the 9th, which essentially ended the game.

The Lions are currently on spring break right now. Their next game is Monday, April 14 at home against Lincoln.

Bellarmine 6 Mt. Tahoma 5

Bellarmine got out to an early lead, then watched it vanish, but came through with a run in the top of the 7th inning to edge Mt. Tahoma 6-5.

SS Lynsey Moroz tripled to lead off the 7th, then scored on a passed ball, which turned out to be the eventual winning run. The Thunderbirds had a runner reach second base with one out in the bottom of the 7th, but the Lions were able to keep her there. P Anna Olson retired Mt. Tahoma's #3 hitter on a pop-up, and struck out their #4 hitter to end the game.

Olson pitched all 7 innings for the win, striking out 7 and giving up 3 earned runs. Moroz had 3 hits, including two triples. RF Paige Redmon also had 3 hits, including a triple to lead off the game. 1B Alexis North joined the triple club as well.

The Lions play league opponent Olympia on Wednesday at home, and travel to Fife for a non-league game on Thursday.

Stadium 6 Bellarmine 0

The Bellarmine Lions hung around with the top team in the league Stadium for much of the game, but in the end Stadium proved to be too much to handle as they dropped their second league game of the season Monday.

The Lions were within striking distance most of the game, only down one run for the first three innings, and down four through the first six. The Lions even mounted a mini rally in the 5th inning, collecting three straight hits off of one of the leagues best pitchers, but they were unable to cross the plate, as they had one runner thrown out at the plate, and another stranded at third. For the game, the Lions collected 5 hits, all by different players.

Bellarmine pitcher Anna Olson fell to 2-2 on the year, pitching a complete game. Only 3 of the 6 runs scored off of Olson were earned, as the Lions committed 4 errors in the game.

Bellarmine plays Wilson, the other top team in the league on Wednesday at Bellarmine.

After getting out of a bases load jam in the bottom of the sixth, Bellarmine put the game away with three more runs in the 7th.

Leading hitters for Bellarmine were CF Paige Redmon who collected 3 hits, with C Ciarra Pederson and Olson getting two hits apiece. SS Lysnsey Moroz added a hit, and 2 SB.
