Softball Highlights

Monday's game was a nail-biter. It took a five-run rally in the last inning to beat Mission Hill 7-3. the stars of the game were Taylor Ramirez with a home run, Katie Niizawa going 2-3 with a double and 2 runs scored, and Emma Niizawa going 1-1 and 2 walks with 2 runs scored. She also pitched the whole game striking out 13.

On Wednesday's game, we threw a no-hitter against Shoreline 13-0. Kiki Quintana pitched 3 innings and Ellie Howell closed the game with 1 inning. Only a hit batter kept it from being a perfect game. Offensively Katie Niizawa went 2-3 with 3 runs scored, Emma Niizawa went 3-3 with a double and 3 runs scored, Kiki Quintana went 3-3 with 2 doubles and 2 runs scored, and Taylor Ramirez 3-3 with 2 doubles and 1 run scored.

According to California law, anyone under the age of 18 must wear a bicycle helmet if using the following modes of transportation: bicycle, e-bicycle, non-motorized scooter, skateboard, inline/roller skates or as a passenger. Wearing a properly fitted bicycle helmet can dramatically reduce your risk of serious injury from a crash or fall!

NBMS Students are required to wear a helmet to and from school when riding a bike, e-bike, scooter, or skateboard. If a student does not have a helmet, the bike/ebike/scooter/skateboard will be confiscated by NBMS staff and remain in the office for parent pick-up.

Students:

• Follow the rules of the road (California Vehicle Code).
• Wear properly-fitted bicycle helmets at all times
• Ride your bike on the right side of the street in the SAME direction as traffic
• Riders and passengers should only ride on a permanent seat of a bicycle, never on the pegs or handle bars
• Learn and use proper hand signals when riding.
• Avoid using cell phones or other distracting devices when riding your bicycle.
• Parents: plan and practice the safest route to school with your child before allowing them to ride
