WALNUT CREEK, CA (MPG) - The Gridley Bulldogs softball team had their season end after taking on the Northgate Broncos in round one of the 2025 CIF NorCal Softball Championships.

After winning the D3 Softball Super Regional Championship, the Bulldogs traveled to Walnut Creek to face off against the Northgate Broncos on Tuesday, June 3. After a quick first inning that ended 0-0, the Broncos put the Bulldogs in a massive hole as they scored eight runs at the bottom of the second leaving the Bulldogs with no choice but to get their offense rolling.

After a strong defensive third inning from both teams, the Bulldogs were able to get on the board as they scored two runs in the fourth inning and after holding the Broncos to nothing, the score was 8-2 heading into the fifth. Those two points were the only points that the Bulldogs would manage to score, as their defense slipped allowing three more runs making the score 11-2 and ending the game before a seventh inning could be played.

Although their season ended earlier than the team may have wanted, the Bulldogs accomplished great things this season making their school and community proud.
