The Lady Broncos made a big statement in their quest for post-season play Friday at Booker, defeating them 7-4 and earning a key district win. Head coach Gary Jack was pleased with the win especially after a heartbreaking loss to Follett earlier in the week.
“Jency Burton did a great job pitching and hitting for us,” Jack said. “Taylor Gaines had the big hit of the game with an inside the park home run. It was a tough game with tough wind conditions at 30 mph.”
Also doing a good job at the plate was Maci White, Skyler White, Audrey Shelton, and Haley Ferguson. Shelton was also behind the plate catching for Burton.
Earlier in the week, the Lady Broncos fell to Follett 0-13. Follett was able to get the early advantage on the ladies in the first inning of play. After holding them to no runs in the next two, the ladies allowed their opponent to open the game up in the fourth.
“We never got anything going and their pitcher was just too good that day,” Jack said.
The Lady Broncos are currently 9-3 on the year and 5-2 in District play. They will take on Claude at home on Saturday, April 13, at 2:00 p.m.
