Box Score 1 | Box Score 2

Despite taking leads into the seventh inning in both ends of Friday's doubleheader, the Jimmie softball team fell victim to Bellevue comebacks, falling 5-2 in game one and 2-1 in nine innings in game two.

The series wraps up tomorrow with first pitch set for 1:30 p.m.

Game One: Bellevue 5, Jamestown 2

Jamestown took a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first as Mikayla Frost (FR/Melba, ID) came home on Hanna Dunnigan (SR/Regina, SK)'s single. Bellevue would draw level in their half of the fourth with an Emily Gigax RBI single that plated Alex Tooley.

Brittany Rheault (JR/West Fargo, ND) doubled in the Jimmie fifth to drive in Dunnigan, breaking a 1-all tie.

Bellevue scored four times in the top of the seventh on just two hits, but took advantage of three Jimmie errors to take a 5-2 lead. Kelli Fisher got the final three outs to preserve the victory for the Bruins.

Dunnigan took the loss for the Jimmies, pitching 6 1/3 innings and allowing five hits. All five runs Dunnigan allowed were unearned, and she finished with 12 strikeouts. Lexi LeCalsey was the winning pitcher, scattering seven hits over six innings, walking one and striking out five.

Frost had three hits from the leadoff spot and Rheault finished with a pair of hits. Hannah Carter had two of the Bruins' five hits.


Game Two: Bellevue 2, Jamestown 1 (9 innings)

Brittany Rheault and Kelli Fisher went head-to-head in the circle in game two, keeping the opposition off of the scoreboard for four innings.

Following Rheault's scoreless fifth, Jamestown scored the game's first run on a squeeze bunt by Kelly Halverson (SO/Surrey, BC).

With one out in the seventh, Erin Sharpe smashed her 18th home run of the season on a 3-2 pitch from Rheault to tie the game at one. Fisher retired the Jimmies in order in the bottom half to send the game to extras.

Kaitlyn Kinman singled home Maddie Siedlik with the go-ahead run in the ninth to make it 2-1 Bruins. Once again, Fisher was able to set down the Jimmies in order to finish the win.

Fisher struck out five in the complete game win. Rheault allowed four hits in 7 1/3 innings and struck out three. Hanna Dunnigan was the losing pitcher, giving up one run on three hits in one inning of work.

Mikayla Frost had two hits, while Emma Keller (JR/Poulsbo, WA), Kelly Halverson, and Rheault accounted for the other Jimmie base hits.
