WILLIS, DIXON DOWN CUBETTES, 8-2

The long 2014 season continued Tuesday night for the Brenham Cubettes, as they fell to Willis, 8-2 at Alumni Field.

Willis’ Casey Dixon was nearly flawless, as she led the LadyKats (7-5 in district) to their fourth win in their last five 18/4A contests.

Dixon allowed just one earned run on five hits, while striking out 11 Brenham hitters and didn’t walk a batter.

Willis took the lead in the top of the third on Erica Wood’s three-run homer off Brenham starter Macie Becker.

The LadyKats would steadily add to their lead throughout the game, with a run in the fourth; two in the fifth; and one run each in the sixth and seventh.

The Cubettes (10-12/3-8) were able to plate two runs in the bottom of the seventh as Jordan Wellmann, who was 3-for-3 on the night, singled with one out.  That was followed by Reagan Kwiatkowski’s rbi-triple.  A throwing error allowed Kwiatkowski, who was 2-for-3, to score.

Friday night, the Cubettes will travel to Montgomery to face the Lady Bears, who are currently alone in first place in the district.  First pitch is at 7:00, with a 6:40 pre-game on KWHI and www.kwhi.com.

In other 18/4A action last night:  Montgomery 10  Waller 2; Magnolia West 11  Rudder 4;  Magnolia 17  Caney Creek 1; Huntsville had a bye.
