The Brenham softball program got its 2026 season off to a near-perfect start on Tuesday evening with a 10-0 win over Caldwell at Alumni Field at Brenham High School.
Brenham pitchers Kylie Baker and Laityn Davis combined for a five-inning no-hitter. Baker threw 10 strikeouts with just three walks allowed in four innings of work. Davis added two strikeouts in the top of the fifth frame.
Baker was given plenty of run support early after she recorded two strikeouts in each of her first two innings. Senior shortstop McKenzie Tiemann opened the scoring when she led the bottom of the first off with a double to center field and later scored on a Caldwell error following a hit from sophomore catcher Harper Castillo.
Sophomore center fielder Aldyn Jaks provided a two-RBI triple to make it 3-0 Brenham after the first.
Castillo doubled Brenham’s lead the following inning with a bases-clearing single to drive in three runs and earn her second hit of the night.
Reagan Wall scored on an error in the third inning before Tiemann did the same in the fourth frame. Baker helped her own cause later in the fourth with an RBI hit that drove in Davis.
Payson Gurka had the final swing of the night with a sacrifice fly to right field. Jaks had stolen third base to put herself in position to score after earning a walk to open the inning and moving to second base on a bunt single from Jacee Hegar.
After Castillo and Tiemann’s two hits, six more Cubettes tallied one hit each.
Brenham will play six home games over three days during the Brenham Leadoff Classic. The Cubettes begin the event at 11 a.m. Thursday against Santa Fe and also play at 5 p.m. Thursday against Wylie.
