CUBS SET TO BEGIN 2021 BASEBALL POST-SEASON

For the first time in two calendar years, the Brenham Cubs will take the field in baseball playoff action.

The Cubs (25-5) will face New Caney Porter (19-12) in a best two-of-three Bi-District matchup.

The Cubs took second in District 19/5A with an 11-3 mark, while Porter was third in 20/5A at 10-4, under second-year head coach Chase Wheaton.

Brenham enters the series with a dynamic one-two punch on the mound.  Ben Bosse is 8-2 on the season with a 1.28 ERA and 110 strikeouts in 60 innings pitched.  Jake Kolkhorst has a 9-1 mark with 87 strikeouts in 57 innings and a 2.00 earned run average.

The Cubs’ offense is led by a quartet of hitters with .300+ batting averages: Mason Lampe (.380); Parker Mason (.326); Henry Cone (.316); and Kolkhorst (.316).

Ethan Jezierski leads the team with 30 runs scored, while Lane Sparks has scored 28 times.  Mason leads the Cubs with 33 rbi’s and eight home runs.

For the Spartans, the pitching duo of Zane Adams (Sophomore) and Jace Russell (Senior) has handled the bulk of the district duties.  Russell is headed to LSU-Eunice, while Adams has already committed to Alabama.
