MABANK-The Mabank Lady Panthers played host to the Brownsboro Bearettes for Senior Night in softball April 10, honoring graduating Mabank students including trainer Maria Gallegos and players Savannah Phillips, Journey Jakeway, Maysun Williams, Erin Ottmo and Trinity Mixon.
Brownsboro opened the scoring in the top of the first inning and led 3-0 with Arabella Lowrance’s 3-run inside-the-park home run that also scored Evan Brown and Summer Nguyen. In the bottom of the first, Mabank got on the board and trailed 3-1 with Ottmo’s RBI single that scored JoJo Marker. The Bearettes extended their lead to 4-1 in the top of the second after an RBI single by Lowrance that scored Lilly Haldman.
The Lady Panthers tied it up at 4-4 in the bottom half of the second inning after Maysun Williams scored on Marker’s RBI double and when Ottmo sent Schylur Martin and Marker home with a 2-run RBI double. In the top of the fourth inning, Lowrance scored on a wild pitch and Izabella Northcut scored on a sacrifice RBI by Aubree McKinney, allowing Brownsboro to regain a 6-4 lead. In the bottom half of the fourth, Mabank cut its deficit to 6-5 after Phillips scored Marker with an RBI double. However, the Bearettes plated three runs and extended their lead to 9-5 in the top of the sixth after Lowrance scored, on Riley Saxon’s RBI single and with Emma Cutright’s RBI double.
In the bottom of the sixth inning, Mabank began another rally when Phillips belted a 2-run home run to center field, after which Mabank trailed 9-7. But Brownsboro added four more runs in the top half of the seventh inning with Northcut’s RBI double, using two bases-loaded walks and when McKinney scored a sacrifice fly and led 13-7, which was the final score. The Lady Panthers conclude the 2026 season with two away games: April 14 against the Canton Eaglettes then April 17 at Kemp.
