HUXLEY — The BCLUW softball team bowed twice to opponents at the Ballard Tournament on Saturday, splitting their weekend trip with losses to the host Bombers as well as Class 4A No. 11 Boone.

Ballard beat the Comets 10-0 in five innings in BCLUW’s first game on Saturday, scoring in each of its four at-bats. The Comets (7-4) couldn’t match that, collecting just four hits, while committing five errors on defense.

Jordyn Beeghly, Easton Swanson, Sara Sharp and Leah Yantis each had singles in the loss.

In the second game, Boone fell behind 2-0 before scoring 13 unanswered runs. The Toreadors (7-3) tallied eight runs in the top of the fifth to put the game out of reach.

BCLUW’s early 2-0 lead started with a leadoff single for Yantis. Her pinch-runner Parker Scurr moved up on Jenna Willett’s bunt single and scored on Samantha Ubben’s sacrifice bunt. Willett eventually scored on a passed ball, but that was all the damage the Comets could do offensively.

BCLUW finished with only those two hits, while Boone racked up 12, including a home run for Lauren Calkins.

Lauren Anderson got the pitching loss in the opener, while Ubben was saddled with defeat in the second game.

BCLUW returns to action Monday with a road game at 1A No. 12 AGWSR in NICL West Division play.
