If Brazos was feeling good fresh off their 13-0 takedown of Hempstead on Friday, their most recent game may have dampened their spirits a bit. The Cougars fell just short of the East Bernard Brahmas by a score of 4-3 on Monday. The result was an unpleasant reminder to the Cougars of the 6-0 defeat they experienced in the pair's previous head-to-head fixture back in April of 2025.
Ava Aguilar spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered only one earned (and three unearned) runs on seven hits.
On the hitting side, Brazos saw three different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Kendall Macha, who went 1-for-3 with one stolen base and one run. Abigail Danford was another, going 1-for-3 with two stolen bases and one run.
Brazos' loss dropped their record down to 13-12. As for East Bernard, they have been performing well recently as they've won five of their last six games. That's provided a nice bump to their 12-11-2 record this season.
