No. 12 Trailblazer Softball rolls to DH sweep of Chaminade

Beardshear records fifth complete-game shutout, Bassett goes 5-for-7 with four stolen bases

The No. 12 Dixie State softball team rolled to a Pacific West Conference doubleheader sweep of Chaminade on Tuesday, 7-0 and 8-0, at Corp Field in Waipahu, Hawaii.

The Trailblazers (22-5, 8-2 PacWest) pounded out 19 hits on the day, as Brooklyn Beardshear (Tucson, Ariz./Sahuaro HS) earned her fifth complete-game shutout of the season with eight strikeouts in a 7-0 win in game one. Janessa Bassett (Stansbury Park, Utah/Stansbury HS) led the charge offensively, going 5-for-7 (3-for-3 in game two) with a double, RBI, and four stolen bases on the day.

GAME ONE – Dixie State 7, Chaminade 0

Dixie State broke a scoreless tie in the top of the third, turning two hits into a 2-0 advantage. Shelby Yung (Upland, Calif./Upland HS) opened the inning with a leadoff double to center field, and moved to third on a Dani Bartholf (Gilbert, Ariz./Gilbert HS) single to right field. Josey Hartman (Mapleton, Utah/Maple Mountain HS) brought Yung home from third with a sacrifice fly to center field, while Bartholf moved third. Bartholf later scored on a wild pitch to give DSU the two-run advantage.

The Trailblazers added three more runs in the top of the sixth when Bassett scored from third on a double-steal play, while Mallory Paulson (Fruita, Colo./Fruita Monument HS) and Jessica Gonzalez (Kingsburg, Calif./Kingsburg HS) each drove in a run in the inning to push the lead to 5-0.

Dixie State put the finishing touches on the win in the seventh inning, as Bassett drove a two-out RBI-single to center field, followed by a Bailey Gaffin (Glendale, Ariz./Mountain Ridge HS) RBI-single to right field to push the advantage to the final count of 7-0.

Five different DSU players recorded an RBI in the win, as Bassett and Gaffin each went 2-for-4 to lead the attack. Beardshear tossed her fifth complete-game shutout of the season with eight strikeouts, improving to a PacWest-leading 10-1 on the season.

GAME TWO – Dixie State 8, Chaminade 0 (5 innings)

Dixie State raced to a big lead in the first inning in game two, erupting for five runs on six hits and one Chaminade error. The Trailblazers scored on four consecutive plays in the inning, as Gonzalez opened the scoring with an RBI-single down the left field line, followed by an RBI-single to right field by Arista Honey (Bothell, Wash./Bothell HS). Yung continued the rally with an RBI-single through the left side, and Bartholf closed the scoring with a 2 RBI-single to center field to push the lead to 5-0.

The Trailblazers added to the lead in the second inning when Bassett opened the frame with a leadoff double down the left field line, then stole third and scored when Paulson grounded out to second base to stretch the DSU advantage to 6-0.

Dixie State earned the runs its needed to end the game in five innings in the fourth inning on a Paulson two-out 2 RBI-single to left field to score Bassett from third and Kaitlyn Delange (Cedar City, Utah/Canyon View HS) from second to push the lead to 8-0.

The Trailblazers then clamped down defensively, as Alexis Barkwell (San Diego, Calif./North Medford HS) entered the game in the bottom half of the fourth and retired the side in order, including two strikeouts. Barkwell repeated the feat in the fifth, striking out two more Silversword batters to help clinch the win.

Bassett again led the charge at the plate in game two, going 3-for-3 to go with three stolen bases. Alexandria Melendez (Moreno Valley, Calif./Valley View HS) earned the win in the pitcher's circle to improve to 7-4, allowing two hits in three innings of work.

Dixie State and Chaminade will close the four-game series with another doubleheader on Wednesday in Waipahu, starting at 8:30 p.m. Mountain Time.
