ROSEPINE – Make it nine straight shutouts.
The third-seeded Rosepine Lady Eagles advanced to the Class 2A quarterfinals on Tuesday with an 11-0 victory over No. 14 Pine.
Senior pitcher Chloe Bennett was nearly unhittable as she gave up a single hits and struck out nine in moving to 25-1 on the season.
Rosepine wasted little time taking the lead, scoring twice in the first inning to take control.
The Lady Eagles added six runs in the second and three in the third as both Jenna Marler and Calyn Brister each connected on three-run homers during those innings.
The home run for Brister, who was 3-for-3 with a double, three runs scored and four RBIs, was a special moment as it was her 13th of the season, breaking the previous single-season school record.
Analeigh Roberts had a solid game for the Lady Eagles as well, going 1-for-2 with two runs scored.
Rosepine hosted No. 6 D'Arbonne Woods Charter in the quarterfinals on Thursday afternoon. That game report will run in the Sunday edition.
