CUBETTES RUN-RULE PANTHERS IN 2014 FINALE
The Brenham Cubettes closed out what has been a disappointing 2014 campaign on a high note, winning three of their last four games—including Tuesday’s 12-0 rout of Caney Creek.
The Cubettes (13-14/6-10) busted open a tight 1-0 game in the top of the sixth with 11 runs.
The leading the way were Shannon Loukanis with a two-run double; Meg Morris’ tree-run double; and, Macie Becker’s three-run homer.
Colleen Bentke (4-4) had her third-straight strong pitching performance as she went the distance in a one-hit shutout, striking out seven and not walking a Caney Creek batter.
The Cubettes finished the year with wins over Rudder (6-1), Huntsville (5-1) and Caney Creek…while dropping a tough 4-2 loss to district runner-up Magnolia.
Brenham’s first-year head coach Jamie Maurer loses just one senior (Rachel Butler) from this year’s team and looks to return the entire starting lineup from 2014.
Other 18/4A scores: Montgomery 5 Magnolia 4; Magnolia West 2 Waller 1; Huntsville 3 Willis 2; Rudder, bye.
