Linn County Softball/Baseball at Brashear September 15, 2016

Brashear hosted Linn County Thursday for makeup games from an earlier rain-out. The Lady Tigers jumped ahead 3-0 after one inning and added runs in every inning except the 2nd on their way to a 15-5 6-inning game. Harli Mihalovich had 4 hits for Brashear, Emily Mason and Averi Acton had 3 hits each, Hannah Reeves had 2 hits, and Tanna Garlock, Alexa Higgins, and Hailey Lawrence also had hits. Averi Acton recorded 8 strikeouts in picking up the win.

The Brashear boys got off to a quick start as Colt Acton and Zane Sykes drew 1st inning walks and Jacob Bleything drove them in with a 3-run homer. The game was a close one most of the way and the Tigers were clinging to a 1-run lead in the 7th. With the tying run at 3rd, the Linn County batter stuck out, but the ball was dropped. As the runner sprinted home from 3rd, the batter was thrown out on a close play at 1st to preserve Brashear's 7-6 win. Jacob Bleything homered, doubled and singled for Brashear with Wyatt Reeves also having a hit. Colt Acton pitched for Brashear.
