It was listed as a game, but the Ballard High School baseball team's March 30 matchup against Roosevelt might as well have been batting practice for the Beavers.

Ballard used 14 runs on 12 hits to blast their way past Roosevelt and on to a 3-1 conference record (4-2 overall).

What looked like a nail biter, with the score knotted at one apiece at the end of the first inning, turned into a laugher as the Beavers drove in nine runs in the bottom of the second, all with two outs on the board.

Ballard added four more in the third to completely ice the game.

Senior outfielder Jason Bergerson went one-for-three with a three-run home run. Sophomore outfielder Danny Thomson went one-for-two, adding another three-run homer for the Beavers.

Senior shortstop Dylan Murphy got his three RBIs the old-fashioned way, going three-for-four with a stolen base.

Senior pitcher Jimmy Pugel went four innings and threw eight strikeouts to get the win.

Ballard's dominating performance was not unprecedented, as the team hammered Roosevelt 11-2 March 16.

The Beavers head to Bothell April 1 for a 3:45 p.m. game.
