Softball Preview: Brennan Bears vs. Jay Mustangs

Brennan is 10-0 against Jay since March of 2019, and they'll have a chance to extend that success on Friday. The Brennan Bears will be staying on the road to face off against the Jay Mustangs at 5:00 p.m. Brennan is strutting in with some hitting muscle, as they've averaged 7.3 runs per game this season.

Brennan can't be too worried about heading out to take on Jay: they just beat Holmes at home, who had been dominant on their own field up to that point. Brennan's pitcher stepped up to hand Holmes a 3-0 shutout on Tuesday.

Bryannah Campos spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered just zero earned runs on one hit and racked up seven Ks.

On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Breyanna Jones, who scored a run and stole a base while getting on base in all three of her plate appearances. The team also got some help courtesy of Christen Brinkman, who scored a run and stole a base while going 2-for-2.

Meanwhile, Jay was not able to break out of their rough patch on Wednesday as the team picked up their 12th straight defeat. They might be feeling deja-vu: they lost 2-1 to Taft, which was the same score (and result) they got the week prior.

Brennan pushed their record up to 22-4 with that victory, which was their 16th straight on the road dating back to last season. As for Jay, their loss dropped their record down to 12-14.

Brennan took their win against Jay in their previous matchup back in March by a conclusive 10-0. The rematch might be a little tougher for Brennan since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
