NEW CANEY – The Brenham Cubettes (18-14) fought hard Saturday to conclude the area round against Nederland (22-8), but saw its offense go flat in a season-ending afternoon.

After experiencing multiple lightning delays Friday before being forced to move Game 2 of its best-of-three series with Nederland to Saturday at West Fork High School, the Cubettes forced Game 3 with an 8-1 win to open the day. However, Brenham was shut out for the first time since Feb. 15 in Game 3 in a 5-0 defeat to close the season.
