Broncs beat Shamrock

The 9-3-1 Broncos shutout the Irish 8-0 and defeated Kress 12-2 last week as they continue district play.

Wilson Ward got the win over Shamrock as he pitched for six innings, and Lyric Smith came in as relief to finish the last inning. Ward allowed only one hit, no runs, and struck out 10 batters.

The Broncos got tapped off early in the first inning, but it was the fifth inning that exploded with six runs for Clarendon. Harrison Howard and Levi Gates each hit a single, and Smith slammed a double in the inning. Smith was able to put the icing on the win in the sixth when he sent one over the fence for a one-run homerun.

The Broncos posted several hits in the win. Smith and Tyler Harper had two each with Ward, Easton Frausto, Howard, and Colton Caudle adding one heat each. The team racked up eight stolen bases in the game. Defensively, the Broncos were error-free for the duration, and Howard made the most plays with 11.

Despite two homeruns by the Kangaroos in the first and second, the game with Kress was never a contest for the Broncos as they were able to out hit and out play their opponent to earn the 10-run advantage. Jared Musick was on the mound and went four innings allowing four hits, two runs, and threw four strike-outs. Smith and Harper took their turn with one inning each to help Musick get the win.

Once again, the Broncos made some noise at the plate with six hits and six RBIs coupled with seven base-on-balls while adding seven stolen bases led by Britton Cottrell with three. Gates, Musick, Caudle, Frausto, and Ward each grabbed two steals each.

The Broncos will travel to Claude March 31 in a non-district game before playing at Memphis on April 4.
