Woodinville, the third-ranked team in the state, was too much for the Ballard High School softball team April 14, winning 8-1 while outhitting the Beavers 16 to three.

The Beavers, playing their third game in three days and coming off a 21-run effort against Garfield, allowed Woodinville to score four runs in the first inning before settling down and holding them to four runs over the next six.

Freshman Andrea Jewett, who had pitched a full game only two days earlier, threw eight strikeouts.

Freshman Brittney Blokker was responsible for Ballard's lone run, it's lowest single-game output this season, when she hit a triple in the sixth inning and scored on a Woodinville error.

The Beavers are 1-3 in KingCo and 5-3 overall.

Next up for Ballard is Inglemoor (6-2) at 6:30 p.m. on April 16 at Inglemoor High School.
