The Brookhaven Lady Panthers managed to keep their undefeated season alive after defeating the Wesson Lady Cobras 5-3 in last Saturday’s Ole Brook softball tournament at Hansel King Complex.
Brookhaven managed to play only one game, before rain entered into the picture causing the Lady Panthers to cancel their last two late games.
The Lady Panthers (9-0, 1-0) will be in action today as they travel to Natchez to face the Natchez Lady Bulldogs for a big Region 6-5A test. Junior varsity action starts at 5 p.m., followed by the varsity game at 6 p.m.

Brookhaven came out and quickly took care of business in the five innings of action as the Lady Panthers commanded a 5-0 lead.
In the top of the sixth inning, the Lady Cobras rallied back to score three runs but fell short of their comeback due to the time regulation.

Cheyenne Gladden absorbed the setback in the pitching circle for Wesson with three strikeouts and two walks.
Catherine Wilson powered the Lady Cobras’ offense with a home run. Sabria Green provided a double.
