BC Softball (18-21-1, 14-7) won both games of a doubleheader Tuesday against Antelope Valley (19-20, 12-9) at the Dean and Adah Gay Sports Complex, and the entire season was on the line.

"We never do things the easy way," Coach Christie Hill said, "But our Freshman have more than wet their feet now, and they aren't overthinking it; it's not rocket science...it's just softball!" 

BC took game one 5-3, and true to Coach Hill's words, they didn't take the easy way out in game two. 

With a crowd sitting right on the edge of their seats, and many more filing over after BC Baseball's own playoff race game (they won 5-3 and their magic number is at 1), the Lady Gades showed they can hit, pitch, field, and run the bases well-and all at the same time. 

Tied 8-8 headed into the bottom of the 7th, the Lady Gades quickly put runners on and held AV to a difficult situation. 

With Marina Felipe on third, speedy centerfielder Alexis Rodriguez hit a ball she would have beaten out to short, but for reasons only known to Antelope Valley's infielders, the throw went to third and Felipe scampered home to score the winning run. 

It was Hill's first postseason berth at Bakersfield College, and the first for the team since 2012 when BC made it to the  qualify for the postseason for the first time since 2012 when the team made it to the Super Regionals under then coach Sandi Taylor.

"We'll find out this Saturday morning at the conference meeting where we will play next. If we are seeded 15th or 16th, we'll have a play-in game that would be at home on next Tuesday. Otherwise, all playoff games will start next Saturday. And given how we've played lately with the Freshman settling down and just playing softball? I think anything could happen," Hill said.
