No. 3 Brush softball beats No. 7 University

In a rematch of an extra-inning Brush win last Thursday, the Beetdiggers took care of University in easier fashion.

Brush beat University 7-3 to cap a 16-3 season.

In the game earlier this season, Brush used four runs in the top of the ninth to edge University.

Brush is currently in second place of 3A’s District 3, but with Eaton playing Strasburg on Saturday, there is a possibility of a three-way tie at the top of the standings.

Should Eaton beat Strasburg, the Reds would move to 12-2 in league. Strasburg, after the loss, and Brush would also be 12-2 in league.
