After going on an 8-2 run in North Region league play, the Bellevue College baseball team got their momentum stopped by Edmonds, losing three of four to the Tritons. Edmonds won 6-3 in the opener before game two was halted due to rainy conditions in the bottom of the eighth and a 5-5 score. Play resumed at Edmonds as Bellevue put up an additional three runs led by a Konnor Sutton two-RBI single. The five run eighth, split over two days, was enough for the win as Tristan Aasland, the game three starter, came in an inning early before his scheduled start for the halted game win. Drew De La Cruz had three hits while Bryan Sfanos, Ryker Fortier, and Sutton had two apiece.
The ‘dogs were swept in the regularly scheduled doubleheader at Edmonds, falling 5-1 and 6-5. In the opener, BC’s hitters were challenged by Edmonds’ Lathan Haywood, who carried a shutout into the ninth inning before Ollie Hogan homered. In the finale, Bellevue held a 5-2 lead into the seventh as Micah Hagler delivered another solid start on the mound, going six innings while allowing just two runs and one walk. The Tritons answered though with a three-run homer to tie the game then went on to win it in the bottom of the ninth after two hit batters, a walk and a bunt single. Sfanos was the hot Bellevue hitter with two doubles and a home run.
Bellevue looks to bounce back with a four-game set with Skagit Valley this weekend. It will be Bellevue’s final regular season home game with a twinbill scheduled for Sat. May 4 in Mount Vernon followed by the Sun. May 5 home finale in which 13 Bellevue sophomores will be honored before the game. First pitch for both doubleheaders is set for 1 p.m.
