The Bakersfield College softball team ended the season on a high note with a win.
The Renegades beat Glendale 7-6 with eight hits in a come from behind victory.
Myranda Sawyer pitched two innings and had two strikeouts allowing two hits and six runs. Joni Lagerstrom got the win striking out one and only giving up five hits.
The Renegades got three runs in the first inning. They were behind 6-3, and in the fourth they added one and in the seventh added three more for the win.
With all that was going on with the construction of the softball field, the Renegades had a productive season playing their home games at Dave Frye Field.
The Renegades did not make it to the post-season like they had done in previous seasons. With a young team this season, they will have a lot of improving to do for next season.
“I do think that there is a reason for everything,” BC head coach Sandi Taylor said. “I just hope that we have learned how to better handle adversity and work harder when times are tough.”
The overall team ended up with 41 games played, a .263 average, 286 hits and 154 runs. The overall pitcher’s standings are as follows: Lagerstrom 2-2 had an ERA of 2.82, Sawyer 5-10 had an ERA of 3.40, Hanna Grisham 3-8 had an ERA of 3.12, and Liz Chabolla 3-8 had an ERA of 5.02.
“Seasons like this remind us of the importance of humility and make you appreciate the good years even more,” Taylor said.
The Renegades’ season ending record is 12-29 and 7-14 in the WSC.
