The Ballard High School baseball team snapped its 10-game losing streak with a 4-2 extra-inning win against Roosevelt April 29. The win completed the Beavers' sweep of Roosevelt this season.
The triumph was short lived. On May 1, Bothell dismantled Ballard in a 6-0 shutout, allowing only one Beaver hit.
Ballard was robbed of at least two runs early in the game when Bothell intentionally walked Conor McClure to load the bases with two outs.
Jason Bergerson sent the ball to shallow center field and it looked like it would drop, but the Bothell outfielder made a spectacular diving catch to end the inning.
Ballard is 5-12 overall and 4-11 in the conference with one game remaining.
The team closes out its season against Woodinville at 3:45, May 5 at Whitman.
Ballard lost to Woodinville 10-9 April 3 in the teams' only other meeting this season. It was that loss that started the Beavers on their 10-game skid.
