Brandon-Evansville softball (11-3) ran into one of the top Class A teams in the state on Thursday night as Browerville-Eagle Valley (8-0) stayed unbeaten with a 5-1 win in a battle of Section 6A programs.

The Tigers allow just 1.3 runs per game, and the Chargers had a hard time bunching together hits on them. Sydney Schaefer had a 3-for-4 day at the plate, and Taylin Kramer added two hits and the lone RBI for the Chargers.

“We came into tonight’s game knowing Browerville is a talented, disciplined team and we had to be ready to battle,” B-E head coach Kasi Sieling said. “We got behind early after a triple by their second batter who was able to score on a close play at the plate two batters later. After that first inning, our defense really settled in and made some great plays. We saw some very heads up, smart defensive plays from our fielders that I am very proud of and hope we can continue to execute.”

Browerville scored twice in the first inning and three more times in the sixth. The Chargers’ Mikenna Pattrin allowed six hits through six innings and allowed just one earned run.

“We hit the ball hard and got runners on base, but just weren’t able to string enough hits together and get the timely hit to bring in more runs,” Sieling said. “This was a tough game that we will learn from and hopefully gain some confidence from after competing well with one of the best teams in Class A.”

“Pierz is a very good team and they swung the bat well,” Osakis head coach John Stigman said. “They put us in a huge hole early that we could not recover from.”
