The Ballard High School softball team is riding a three-game win streak to start the 2010 season after dispatching Sammamish 7-2 March 24.

The Beavers traded runs with Sammamish for most of the game and headed into the bottom of the sixth inning with a slim 3-2 lead.

A two-run double by freshman Brittney Blokker and an RBI double by junior Karissa Marshall were part of a four-run inning that put the game away.

Junior Jamie Thelen, sophomore Amry Kimmerly and senior Syrina Bailey each contributed RBIs as well.

Freshman Andrea Jewitt pitched six innings, giving up six hits and striking out five batters, pushing her season record to 2-0.

The Beavers are 3-0 in nonconference games this season.

The team will have a shot at a perfect nonconference season at 3:30 p.m. on April 1 at Lower Woodland against Blanchet before opening the KingCo season April 5 against Roosevelt.
