On the Ballard High School softball team's senior night honoring Sophie Overlock-Pauley and Syrina Bailey, second-place Inglemoor seemed all too eager to play the spoiler as it handed the Beavers their worst loss of the season, a 14-3 defeat in five innings May 12.
Hard Inglemoor hitting and a number of bobbled balls on Ballard's part helped Inglemoor to a six-run third inning and a 7-0 lead.
Inglemoor opened up a 12-0 lead midway through the fourth inning before a pitching change allowed the Beavers to put up three runs.
Two more Inglemoor runs in the fifth ended the game.
Ballard was outhit 17 to seven and finished with five errors. Inglemoor's 14 runs were the most given up by the Beavers all season.
Seniors Overlock-Pauley and Bailey were playing in their final home game as Ballard High School students. Both plan on playing softball for Shoreline Community College next year.
Ballard has a 4-11 KingCo record and an 8-11 overall record with one game remaining at 4:30 p.m. on May 14 at Redmond High School.
