The Lady Bruins, who had a long Saturday falling in two district championship games to RHS, turned in a short day at the office on Monday with an 11-0 victory over Overton in the Region 6-AAA semis.
Both Carrissa Schmittou and Whitney Christian hit home runs for BHS. Erin Dixon (3-1) picked up the victory on the mound.
The Lady Bruins hammered out 16 hits against the Bobcats and jumped out to a 5-0 lead in the top of the first inning in the game at Whitfield Park.
Brentwood will now play at Ravenwood on Wednesday. The winner will host a sectional game Friday, and the loser will play on the road.
