The Lady Broncos slid past West Texas High at 9-7 at home Tuesday afternoon.
After a slow first half, the ladies came alive and put together three innings of three runs each to earn the advantage.
WT struck first with two runs in the third, but were scoreless in the fourth. The Lady Broncos then took control of the game gaining the upper hand and was able to ride the momentum to the end.
“It was a good game,” head coach Gary Jack said.
Jack cited Emily Clark as hitting two doubles and a triple in the game and noted that Audrey Shelton had some big hits. Also mentioned for their good offensive play were Trevela Dronzek and Erin Moore.
On Friday, the ladies took on McLean at home and were defeated 1-5. The loss put the Lady Broncos second in District play behind McLean. The ladies slammed four hits against the Lady Tigers’ pitcher but struggled to open up the game.
“We played a good defensive game overall,” Jack said. “But we made an error in the third inning that allowed them to score three runs.”
Danielle Ford (13-5) was on the mound and Audrey Shelton was behind the plate.
“We threw eleven strike outs, and they only struck us out seven times.”
