In the Broncos’ big win over Claude last week, Preston Elam hit an in-the-park grand slam to get them back on the winning side after a heartbreaking loss to Wellington.
The Broncos won big at 12-1 with Payton Hicks adding a two-run homerun at the end of the game.
According to coach Brad Elam, the Broncos started out slow on the offensive side.
“(We) only had a 4-1 lead going into the fifth before our bats exploded,” he said. “Noab Elam and Collin Butler also hit the ball well and Aiden Caudle added his first homerun of the year.”
Defensively, the Broncos played well only making one error. Ryan Ward and Noab Elam were able to hold the Mustangs to only four hits.
The Broncos dropped a close game to Wellington at the end of the week, taking a 3-4 loss.
“Very proud of the boys in this game,” Elam said. “(The) first game, we didn’t really show up and got beat -14. We had good practices and focus coming into the game and played much better.”
The Broncos had the game won, but the Rockets’ last at bat spelled doom for the Broncos.
“We had them beat, but just couldn’t hold them off,” Elam said. “Had some timely hits and made some good plays. Preston Elam pitched one of his best games of the year. Still, we made a few too many mistakes, but we were able to put ourselves in a position to win.”
The Broncos will be preparing for post-season play next week.
