It was a disappointing end to a fairly good season as the Clarendon Broncos succumbed to the Lockney Longhorns in two games last weekend. The Broncos lost the first game 4-12 and the second 9-12.
They played the first game on Lockney’s home field and according to head coach Brad Elam, could not find a rhythm in the game.
“We didn’t really ever get going,” Elam said. “All phases of the game struggled. We were able to get a little rally going late, but not much else.” Elam gave credit to Trevor Cobb for having three hits, Cody Wood for one hit and two walks, and Cole Ward for reaching base three times and scoring two runs.
The Broncos played the second game of the series at home on Saturday and once again, the win escaped them.
“We struggled again, but were able to get more runners on base and mount a challenge,” Elam said. “We did hold a late lead (6-5) going into the last inning but were unable to hold it. We had another last inning rally but fell short. We walked or were hit 11 times and we just didn’t have enough hits to drive them in to go with it.”
Mitchell Parry and Dusty Rice reached base three times and Cobb, Adam Topper and Parry all had good hits according to Elam.
The Broncos end their season 11-8 on the year.
