Even though top-ranked Centennial was riding an 11-game winning streak into Friday's game against Shadow Ridge, Bulldogs assistant coach Curtis Livreri knew his team was still learning how to win big games.

The Bulldogs took a huge step in that development process, scoring two runs in the bottom of the sixth inning to down No. 2 Shadow Ridge 5-3 at Centennial on Friday.

"This was a huge win for us," Livreri said. "We are still in the process of learning how to win. These kids played hard and never gave up today."

Centennial (15-3, 3-0 Northwest) grabbed its only lead of the day after its work in the home half of the sixth.

Johnna Brown, who had three hits in the game, opened the sixth with her second double.

After two outs, Stevie Dean hit a routine grounder to Shadow Ridge shortstop Rae-Ann Bohm, but Bohm's throw sailed wide of first, allowing Brown to score for a 4-3 Centennial lead.

The Bulldogs pushed across an insurance run moments later thanks to an RBI single from Jenna Vaneykeren.

Lauren Lynds, who relieved Centennial starter Jennifer Johnson in the sixth, shut down the Mustangs in order in the seventh to grab the victory.

"When you win games like this, it's a lot of fun," Livreri said. "It took an effort from each member to get the victory today. Again, I'm proud of the way they battled."

Shadow Ridge (13-3, 2-1) broke a 1-1 tie when Bohm stole home in the third inning. The Mustangs got a sacrifice fly from Jasmine Harris in the fourth to take a two-run lead.

The Bulldogs got RBIs from Juelaine Noa and Dean in the fourth to tie the game at 3.
