CUBETTES LOSE A 5-4 HEARTBREAKER TO NEW CANEY IN GAME ONE
NEW CANEY 5 BRENHAM 4
It was really a tale of two games last (Thursday) night in Game One of the Brenham Cubette Softball Team's bi-district series against New Caney.
In the first inning, Brenham loaded the bases with nobody out. However, a strikeout and two force plays later, and New Caney escaped without giving up any runs.
The Cubettes would score in the second inning. Sarah Mabie led it off with a single, and then stole second. She then scored the first run of the game on an RBI single by Avery Maurer to give Brenham a 1-0 lead.
The scored remain that way until the top of the fourth inning, when the Cubettes tacked on two more runs. Annie Beckendorf led off the inning with a single. Mabie bunted her over to second. Kaylie Rodriguez reached on an error. Avery Maurer then hit a two run single to make it 3-0 Brenham.
New Caney then took advantage of six Cubette errors to score two runs in the fourth, and three runs in the sixth to take a 5-3 lead going into the seventh inning.
Brenham managed one more run as Kaylyn Rodriguez hit an RBI double that scored pinch runner Liliana Gonzales to cut the lead to 5-4 , but that would be as close as they would get.
The Cubettes will now face New Caney in Game Two tonight (Friday) at 7pm at Katy Paetow High School. Brenham has to win to force a Game Three tomorrow (Saturday) at 3pm.
KWHI will have live coverage beginning with the pregame 6:30pm.
