The Lady Broncos were well under control of West Texas last Saturday at home in their first district game until the sixth inning when WT began to hit the ball and put runs on the board. The Lady Broncos took a 9-13 loss. Allyson Hogan was on the mound and Brianna Butler was behind the plate. According to head coach Gary Jack; the duo was doing a good job of holding WT from making any huge plays.
“We played well until the sixth,” Jack said. “We had a 7-2 lead up until that point. They started hitting the ball well and we made a couple of mistakes.”
Sterling King came into finish the game the end of the sixth and into the seventh for the Lady Broncos.
“We just could never get that third out,” Jack said. “They outhit us. And our defense played well behind the pitchers, but we let it slip away. We’ve got to get a little better.”
Jack noted that several Lady Broncos hit the ball well despite the loss. “Butler, Hogan, Hannah Hommel, and Jensen Hatley all hit the ball well,” Jack said. “We left the bases loaded three different times. We were close to busting it wide open.”
The Lady Broncos are 0-1 in district play, but will have the opportunity to improve on that next Saturday, March 10, when they take on Memphis at home beginning at 12:00 p.m. They will travel to McLean on Tuesday, March 14, and play at 4:00 p.m.
