Beavers Drop Two Close Ones

The bats went silent Tuesday as the Beavers dropped two close contests. The first game was a pitching duel between Junior Megen Ickler and Oregon City. Neither team could score until OC pushed across what proved to be the winning run on a throwing error in the top of the 7th. Ickler and the Beaver defense were spectacular otherwise, working out of several innings where the Pioneers had one or two runners on base with one or no outs.

In the second game, the Beavers fell behind North Salem 3-1 and couldn't recover. The team rallied for a single run late. Senior Hannah McMahon was probably robbed of a 2-run homer late in the game on a shot that appeared it would have easily cleared a 200' fence (there are no outfield fences at Skyline Park). Freshman Molly Tyler pitched well for five innings and Moriah Kimmer came on for one inning of hitless relief.

Beaverton rallied from a 5-run deficit in their morning game to beat Crescent Valley 8 - 6. Freshman pitchers Moriah Kimmer and Molly Tyler went the distance for the Beavers. Offensive highlights included a two-run home run by Sam White and a 3-run shot from Maddie Evans which provided the winning margin.

In the afternoon game, the Beavers fell to defending 3A state champion Valley Catholic 4-0. Megen Ickler pitched the complete game for the Beavers and Sami Picken went the distance for Valley Catholic.

Beavers Even Record at Newberg

Beaverton rallied from a 3-run deficit, took its first lead in the top of the last inning, and then closed out the game in a driving rainstorm beating the Newberg Tigers 5-4 in 6 innings. The win evened Beaverton's record at 1-1, following the 7-3 loss at Forest Grove on Wednesday.

Kayla Lauro's 2nd-inning home run over the center field fence was the only scoring for the Beavers early, who finally got to Newberg pitcher Casey Bearden late in the game. Beaverton trailed twice - 1-0 before Lauro's homer - and 4-1 before rallying for 3 runs in the 5th and the game-winner in the 6th. Molly Tyler started on the mound for Beaverton and Megen Ickler came on in late-game relief and got the win as the team's offense got untracked.


The teams work together to cover the field. The game was delayed about 30 minutes during this rain event.









The Beavers now travel to Central Oregon for six games in three days, assuming it doesn't snow :).

Third Annual Spaghetti Dinner Draws Hundreds, Earns Thousands

The Beaverton Softball program's Third Annual Spaghetti Dinner and Silent Auction was a huge success. More than 300 people filled the east half of the BHS Cafeteria and helped the team earn about $4,000 before expenses. The delicious spaghetti dinner was donated by Ernesto's Italian Restaurant.

Team members worked hard to set up and clean up and also had a chance to watch the boys basketball team beat Jesuit. Meanwhile, coaches and parents served meals and helped guide attendees to more than 50 auction items, including baskets put together by the team. Among the most popular attractions was an appearance by Madame Deandra, a Tarot Card reader.

BHS Softball thanks all those who attended and made bids on auction items. We look forward to seeing you at this fun event next year!
