WHS Lady Bulldog Softball suffers 3 difficult losses in district play

March 8 Waller High School’s Lady Bulldog softball team faced Caney Creek on the road. It had been a long week for the Lady Bulldogs who couldn’t get on their field, due to rain. WHS junior Kayla Shaffer started off the first inning with a triple and the Lady ‘Dogs were tied up. Then, Caney Creek went ahead until HWS senior Christine Brunmley hit an amazing three run home run in the top of the fifth inning. In the bottom of the seventh the Bulldogs couldn’t hold onto the game and took a devastating 6-5 loss.
     March 13 the Lady Bulldogs were back in action at their home field against the Huntsville Hornets. After the game was delayed by weather, it came down to a battle of the pitchers with WHS senior Kelsi Loewe hurling 10 strikeouts. Huntsville went ahead 2-0 in the top of the sixth inning, but the Bulldogs didn’t lose their fight. In the bottom of seventh inning WHS sophomore Shelby Fellers walked with two outs and freshman McCale Fite hit her in with a triple. Unfortunately, Waller did not score again, and took another hard hit with a loss of 2-1.
     March 14 the WHS team was finally able to play on a true game night at Brenham High School. The Lady ‘Dogs had an aggressive first inning scoring three runs, and put pressure on Brenham’s Cubettes. The spark seemed to die as Brenham took over the lead, and was able to hold on until the end. After several WHS defensive errors, the Lady Bulldogs suffered their third district loss 13-4.
     Luckily enough the softball season still has a long way to playoff time and this year looks promising with a talented group of Lady Bulldogs who are hungry for a playoff bid!
