The Eagles started their season with a victory over Bellaire Monday, April 16. Logan Edgecomb pitched all eight innings for Bellaire, in its 9-8 win over Onaway.

She struckout 10 Onaway hitters. Aubrey Hocking had three hits to lead the Bellaire offense.

Unfortunately for the Eagles, they were shutout in the second game, 11-0.

"We had smart bases running and patience at the plate (in game one)," Bellaire coach Katie Verellen said.

The loss, turned into a losing streak however. Bellaire dropped both in a doubleheader against Pellston Thursday, 14-4 and 11-1.

"Pellston was able to get their bats going and hit the gaps," Verellen said. "We need to work on getting the ball in quickly, on good base hits."

The Eagles' record dropped to 1-3 with the loss, but they returned to victory against the Rockford junior varsity team at the Manton Invitational.

Edgecomb struckout seven, allowing five hits in a 9-1 win in the opener. She also had four hits and scored three runs in the game.

Harbor Springs handed Bellaire its only loss of the tournament, 8-7 in the second game. Amanda Rade led the Eagles with two runs scored.

"Too many errors in the field," Verellen said. "Our bats went cold for three innings."

Amanda Shawl pitched a victory in the third game, defeating host Manton 10-3 in the final game. Edgecomb and Megan Comben had two hits each for Bellaire, which committed only one error in the game.
