Bakersfield College softball hosted a doubleheader against Fresno College and Antelope Valley on Feb. 4 winning 8-5 and 8-0.

On Feb. 9, they had another doubleheader against Sierra College and College of Sequoias, losing 5-2 and winning 14-6. All four of those teams beat BC a year ago.

Julie Estep pitched a complete game against Fresno City College.

“The game we played against Fresno was very solid,” said BC softball Coach Sandi Taylor.

Kaila Williams pitched a complete game win against Antelope Valley. According to Taylor, Williams did a great job pitching.

“In the Antelope Valley game we almost had a perfect outing. They couldn’t get anything going,” said Taylor.

Estep pitched a complete game in a loss against Sierra College.

“Sierra College is one of the top two or three teams in the north so they’re very talented.

During that game we couldn’t seem to get any momentum going. We didn’t play poorly we just didn’t get to execute as crisply as we needed to,” said Taylor.

“In the game against COS, I was real proud of the girls. We were up 7-0, they came and fought back making it 7-6.

And then we exploded for seven more runs offensively and beat them 14-6 in five innings.

I was proud of their tenacity in this game,” she said.

“So I feel like were starting to get in a little bit of a groove.

It would help if we could just relax a little on defensive, just play, not be so robotic, and get into the rhythm of the game,” she said.

With the help of six returning sophomores, they know the game and how to play it.

“The best thing about the returning sophomores is that they haven’t missed a beat and picked up where we left off at. Been on top of their game,” said Taylor.
