Denfeld’s Bellamy tabbed for all-star softball game

Duluth Denfeld senior pitcher Laura Bellamy was the lone Northland player selected to participate in the 21st annual Minnesota High School All-Star Softball Series on June 7 at Caswell Park in North Mankato, Minn.

The right-hander, who debuted in the seventh grade and is headed to Harvard University to play college hockey, is 10-5 with a 1.01 ERA and 170 strikeouts in 99 innings. She’s batting .407 with 23 runs scored and 18 RBIs and led the Hunters to a No. 3 seed in the Section 7AAA playoffs. Denfeld (15-5) faces Anoka in today’s Elite Eight double-elimination tournament at 11 a.m. in St. Francis, Minn.

The all-star series features 72 of the state’s top seniors on six teams and is played on the same fields as the state tournament.
