A Perfect Weekend for Viking Athletics

BBCC Softball hosted the Treasure Valley Chukars and the Blue Mountain Timberwolves this past weekend.

Beginning on Friday versus TVCC the Lady Vikes came to play. Both games followed the same script as BBCC pitching led the way only giving up 4 runs over 14 innings.

OrianaVasquez got the ball in game one and threw a complete game allowing 2 runs as well as striking out 2 leading the Lady Vikes to a 6-2 victory to begin the weekend. MarleighHorrcks and BritneyBrklacich both had two hits as well as scoring a run a piece while OliviaMcKinnon chipped in with two RBI's. 

Addison Martin carried the team to victory in game two tossing a complete game, only surrendering 4 hits, 1 earned run and striking out 5 along with a stellar offensive showing going 2-4 with a home run and 2 RBI's. Truh Merriman added in a 3-4 showing along with Bella Brinkman chipping in with two hits to round out the 5-2 victory. 

The Lady Vikes then hosted BMCC on Saturday and rode the momentum resulting in two blow out victories. Game one was a slugfest for BBCC collecting 19 runs on 19 hits resulting in a 19-5 mercy rule in 5 innings. Jocelyn Chagoya led the offense with a 3-4 day with 2 doubles, a home run and 3 RBI's, Marleigh Horrocks went 3-4 as well with a home run and a double while driving in 2, Truh Merriman added in 3 hits while scoring 4 times along with Arianna Christensen getting 3 knocks, scoring twice and driving in a run. 

 The final game of the weekend was a similar story, with the BBCC offense firing on all cylinders, the Lady Vikes were able to complete a weekend sweep with another 10 run mercy rule in 5 innings with a final score of 13-3. Arianna Christensen led the way going 3-3 with a season high 5 RBI's while Jocelyn Chagoya continued her strong offensive day going 3-3 and scoring 3 times capped off by Marleigh Horrocks going 2-3 with a home run. 

 

 

BBCC Baseball faced off versus the Walla Walla Warriors on Satruday on the road for a double header. Unlike the Lady Vikes, the Vikes needed 21 innings to settle the score versus the Warriors.

Zakaia Michaels was handed the ball in game one where he grinded out 5.1 innings allowing only 1 earned run and striking out 2 before handing it off to the bullpen. The BBCC offense woke up in the 7th and were able to climb back into the game tying up the score at 4-4 before handing the ball off to Brandham Ponce who slammed the door throwing 2.2 innings of scoreless baseball while striking out 4 and collecting his first win on the mound. The Vikes were able to scratch across 3 in the top of the 10th to lead them to a 7-4 victory.

After an emotional roller coaster in game one the Vikes regrouped and prepared for game two. A similar story to game one with a back and forth battle that required 11 innings.  A bullpen game for the Vikes required 8 arms to settle the score, but Brandham Ponce was able to collect the final out once again to seal a 10-9 victory. A solid offensive showing for BBCC was led by the reigning NWAC Player of the Year with Austin Bunn going 4-6 with a double and a triple and scoring 3 times, along with Parker Plato and Layne Adaro collecting 3 hits a piece and combining for 3 RBI's.
