| Branham Pulls Away With Four-Run Third Inning To Defeat Watsonville 7–1 Branham used a decisive third-inning rally Saturday to defeat Watsonville 7–1. The Lady Bruins first got on the board in the second when Jaslene Soliz launched a solo home run to right field. Watsonville answered in the third as Audrina Rodriguez singled to tie the game. Branham quickly responded in the bottom half, stringing together four runs to regain control. Soliz and Makenzie Navarro delivered RBI singles, Madelyn Steiner brought home a run on a fielder’s choice, and Lily Jensen capped the inning with another run-scoring single. Taylor Bugliarello earned the win in the circle, allowing just three hits and one unearned run over five innings while striking out eight.
