Softball Game Preview: Coppell Cowboys vs. Braswell Bengals

The Coppell Cowboys will face off against the Braswell Bengals at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Coppell is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 7.3 runs per game this season.

For whatever reason, it's the away team that's had the advantage when Coppell and Lewisville meet (three straight games heading into this one) and that held true again on Friday. Coppell was the clear victors by a 14-3 margin over Lewisville. The result was nothing new for the Cowboys, who have now won six matchups by six runs or more so far this season.

Lily Bowen made a big impact while hitting and pitching. She pitched five innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off four hits. Bowen was also solid in the batter's box, scoring two runs while going 1-for-3. That's the most runs she has posted since back in February.

In other batting news, Kimber Kerrigan was incredible, going 3-for-4 with one home run, four RBI, and two doubles. The dominant performance gave her a new career-high in doubles. The team also got some help courtesy of Madison Scott, who went 2-for-4 with one home run and three runs.

Coppell hit smart and finished the game with only one strikeout. They are 8-1 when they post two or more strikeouts.

Meanwhile, Braswell fell victim to Flower Mound and their airtight pitching crew on Wednesday. They might be feeling deja-vu: they lost 14-0 to the Jaguars, which was the same score (and result) they got the week prior. The Bengals have now taken an 'L' in back-to-back games.

Coppell has been performing well recently as they've won six of their last eight contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 12-7-1 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 7.8 runs over those games. Braswell's defeat dropped their record down to 2-10.

Coppell came out on top in a nail-biter against Braswell in their previous matchup back in February of 2024, sneaking past 5-4. Will Coppell repeat their success, or does Braswell have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
