Senior Zack LaRoe racked up several impressive stats in the Broncos’ win over Valley in five innings on the road Tuesday night. The 16-2 win put the Broncos in a great position in the district race.
All in all, there were four huge home runs in the game with three of them belonging to LaRoe. Bryce Hatley slammed the other home run for the Bronco team.
“We hit the ball extremely well today,” coach Brad Elam said. “All four home runs were monster shots and would have been out in most places.”
The Broncos posted twelve runs in the first three innings. Hatley and LaRoe scored two each on their home runs, and Chance Lockhart and Joshua Cobb each hit an RBI single in the first inning. LaRoe hit another two-run homerun in the second inning and Izzy Osburn added an RBI single to get runs on the board early.
LaRoe earned the win from the mound where he pitched two innings with no hits. He struck out five hitters with no walks in the game.
The Broncos will have a big game with Memphis on Friday, April 17, on the road beginning at 4:00 p.m. They will host Kress on Tuesday, April 21, at 4:00 p.m.
Zack…..Congratulations!! It is odd how some days in an athlete’s career they experience the “zone.” As a former athlete many years ago I experienced the “zone” and everything at that time appeared so perfectly clear and in slow motion.
Again Zach……GOOD JOB!!!
