Thursday’s semifinal thriller has Brahmarettes looking for more advertising By COY SLAVIK - Advocate Sports Editor May 30, 2008 - 9:48 p.m. Nerves shouldn’t be a problem for East Bernard in today’s Class 2A softball state championship game.
According to Brahmarettes coach Amy Bush, all her team’s nerves were probably shot in Thursday’s thrilling 2-1 semifinal victory over Harmony.
“I’ve been part of a lot of sports in my life, but that was probably the biggest thing I’ve been a part of ever,” Bush said of Samantha Wasek’s two-out, two-run single in the bottom of the seventh that sent East Bernard (29-4-1) into today’s 11 a.m. final against Coahoma (33-9).
The Brahmarettes are hoping to win a state title in their first trip to the tournament. Coahoma has made 10 state tournament appearances and is looking for its second title. The Bulldogettes won it all in 1998.
But chances are Coahoma hasn’t faced a pitcher like East Bernard’s 6-foot-2 Courtney Repka, who hasn’t surrendered an earned run in 35 innings.
It appeared Thursday that Repka’s one-hitter would go for naught until Wasek’s walk-off hit.
“I kept looking up at the scoreboard and I know our players did, too, and I was wondering how we were losing that game,” Bush said.
East Bernard went through a workout Friday before heading back up to Austin.
“Thursday was very special,” Bush said. “Now we’re off to get the next one.”
