The Branham Bruins are on the road again on Tuesday to play the Ann Sobrato Bulldogs at 4:00 p.m. Both teams come into the game bolstered by wins in their previous matches.
Branham will head into Saturday's match on the come-up: they were handed a seven-run loss in their previous outing, but they didn't let that bad energy affect their game against Prospect on Saturday. Branham's pitcher stepped up to hand Prospect a 2-0 shutout.
Prospect's batters probably weren't too happy with Devin Gonzales, who pitched a no hitter (he gave up a single walk). Gonzales has been consistent recently: he hasn't given up more than one walk in three consecutive pitching appearances.
At the plate, Branham's win was truly a team effort as two different players contributed at least one hit. One of them was Brady Edwards, who scored a run while going 2-for-3.
Meanwhile, Ann Sobrato has not done well against Live Oak recently (they were 2-7 in their previous nine matchups), but they didn't let the past get in their way on Thursday. Ann Sobrato came out on top against Live Oak by a score of 4-0.
Live Oak's batters probably weren't too happy with Anthony Sullivan, who pitched a no hitter and racked up nine Ks (he gave up two walks).
Branham's record now sits at 14-9. As for Ann Sobrato, their record now sits at 5-13.
Branham skirted past Ann Sobrato 1-0 in their previous meeting back in May of 2023. One of the biggest obstacles trying to stand in the way of that victory was Ann Sobrato's Ethan Marmie, who didn't allow a single earned run while striking out eight over six innings pitched. Now that he won't be playing on Tuesday, will it be that much easier for Branham to walk away with another win? Check MaxPreps.com after the match to find out.
