Softball roundup: No. 3 Brush ends No. 1 Strasburg’s 62-league game winning streak

All good things must come to an end.

That’s what happened on Tuesday as sophomore Brooklynn Cox scored a run and drove in a run to help Class 3A No. 3 Brush beat No. 1 Strasburg 3-1.

It wasn’t just any loss for the Indians. Tuesday marked the end of a league game winning streak that had gone on for 62 games.

It also puts the Beetdiggers (13-2 overall, 9-1 3A District 3) in control of the league standings. At least for now.

The win was anything but easy for Brush. The Indians (10-4, 8-1) held the Beetdiggers to just three hits on the day. Fortunately for Tom Odle’s crew, two of them were doubles.

Hailey Unrein was solid on the mound for Brush. She gave up eight hits, but the defense held tough behind her and she allowed just one earned run.

Strasburg won the first meeting of these two teams 11-1 and they will not play again before the end of the regular season.
