SOFTBALL SOFTBALL Lady Bulldogs take advantage of North Kitsap's errors By DEAN SIEMON The North Mason High School softball team earned a critical Olympic League win on the road Monday at North Kitsap High School in Poulsbo. The Lady Bulldogs (2-5, 2-3 LM2A/3A Olympic League) defeat- ed the Vikings (2-6, 1-5 1A/2A/3A Olympic League), 11-0, after five in- nings. The game was shortened due to the 10-run mercy rule. Senior Amanda Johnson pitched the complete five innings while al- lowing only two hits. "She made their batters put their ball in play and we had a solid de- fense behind her, said North Ma- son head coach Molleigh Fusare.' Despite allowing two errors, Fu- sare was happy with how the Lady Bulldogs remained disciplined and focused. "We've had some mental errors in past games and when we don't have those, they make a difference,~ she said. Senior Tristan Stromberg went two for two at the plate with an RBI. Junior Abbey Marshall was two out of four with two RBIs. Kori Frohlich also had two hits in the game. The Lady Bulldogs collected nine walks during the game, matching their nine hits. Both of the first in- ning runs for North Mason were scored on wild pitches. "We were focused and we were aggressive, so we took advantage of any misreads on their part,~ Fu- sare said. "we were going after good pitches and laying off bad pitches."

The Lady Highclimbers (2-5, 1-4 4A Narrows League) trailed the Lions (5-1, 4-0 4A Narrows League) 2-0 heading into the top of the sixth inning, where senior Madison Gaa had a two- RBI double to tie the game at 2-2. But Bellarmine Prep scored four runs in the bottom of the sixth Um . Shelton had three errors in the game in addition to having difficulty with routine pop flys that were lost in the windy day. "One of the hits they got in the first inning was when it was really windy and Brittany Chamberlin had it fall behind her," said Shelton head coach Kim Goldsby. Sophomore Amy Morris had two hits, both were bunt sin- gles. But Goldsby was disap- pointed that only two players had hits in the game. "If we can get the kids that are not hitting well ... if we can get their heads in the hitting game, we can be unstoppable," Goldsby said. But despite the league loss, there was a small victory for the young Lady Highclimbers. "Bellarmine is the top of the le~e and we played head to head with them until that last inning," Goldsby said.
