Once again, the Clarendon Broncos claimed a District Championship and clobbered Paducah 12-0 in five innings in their final district match up.
The Broncos finished their 2010 season at 14-3 overall and 11-1 in District play.
The win will put them in a good spot for the playoffs and give them an edge going in.
“This was a big game for us,” coach Brad Elam said. “We were able to clinch first place out right with the win. We have shared first place the last two years and the kids were determined to not share it this year.”
According to Elam, the Broncos started off strong when Johnny Gaines crushed a two-run homerun and Forrest Yelverton singled home a run for a 3-0 lead.
“Our bats were quiet for an inning before Gaines added his second home run of the game in the third,” Elam said.
“Matt Henderson and Brayden Phillips scored in the fourth before we busted the game open with six runs in the fifth.”
Elam went on to say that Phillips also had a big two-run triple followed by a hard hit ball by Colter Goolsby that reached the fence. And then Goolsby came all the way home on a hit. Troy Chambless pitched four strong innings for the Broncos to go 7-0 on the year and Gaines came into pitch the last inning and struck out the side to seal the win.
The Broncos will play Follett in Borger Friday, May 7, at 4:30 p.m. in a warm-up game to prepare for post-season play, which will be announced at a later time.
