THE WOODLANDS, TX --

Softball

Bridgeland 8, Grand Oaks 6

The Grizzlies lost a heartbreaker to the Bears in the win or go home matchup on Friday night. Grand Oaks came back twice in the game but were unable to rally one last time after Bridgeland’s two-run home run in the top of the 7th.

Home run hitting was a big factor throughout the game. Grand Oaks bounced back from an early 1-0 deficit thanks to Allie Hagebusch’s two-run home run in the second inning. Bridgeland’s two-run HR in the fourth inning capped a big run that saw the Bears take a 6-2 lead.

Once again, Grand Oaks used a home run, this time from Kaetlyn Dunbar, to spark another comeback. Carissa Villarreal’s two-out RBI completed the comeback in the bottom of the sixth, tying the game at six. However, the Bears got the last laugh with another two-run HR to take the lead for good.

Grand Oaks’ first 6A season comes to an end with an overall record of 18-8.

The Woodlands 6, Cypress Woods 3 (TWHS wins 2-0)

Perfect nights at the plate for Kayla Falterman (4-4, two RBIs) and Jordan Jones (3-3) led the Highlanders to the series-clinching win over the Wildcats on Friday night.

The Woodlands advances to the Regional Semifinals to play the Bryan Vikings.
