Broncos annihilate Memphis

The Broncos used a great start and two big innings in the middle of the game to easily sweep Memphis last week. The Broncos won 22-4 and racked up 16 hits in the game.

Wilson was on the mound and took the win. He for three innings before Lyric Smith came in as relief.

While on the mound, Ward allowed only two hits, zero runs, and struck out two batters. Smith racked up good numbers in the fourth and fifth innings and struck out four.

Harrison Howard was on fire for the Broncos and four hits in his four at-bats. Howard, who took control of Clarendon’s offense early doubled in the first, singled in the third and fifth, and doubled in the fourth scoring three runs with four RBIs. Jared Musick and Easton Frausto each made a statement at the plate as well. Musick hit the lone Bronco homerun of the game in the opening inning and Frausto was good for three hits, three runs, and one RBI. Ward and Mason Sims hit the ball well and finished with three runs each and three RBIs respectively.

The Broncos would score two more runs in the fifth to put the game away and had four stolen bases in the five innings.

The Broncos played a tough Nazareth team on Thursday that ended in a disappointing loss to the Swifts at 5-6. The Broncos were up by three in the fifth but allowed Naz to score big in the sixth on an error to take the lead for good. Howard took the loss for the Broncos in his six innings on the mound. He allowed six hits, six runs, and struck out six. Harper came in to finish the game and struck out two batters on 18 total pitches.

The Broncos outfit the Swifts at the plate seven to six but left eight men on base in the game. Howard and Tyler Harper had two hits apiece with Harper posting two RBIs. The Broncos ran the bases well, but only marked four stolen bases, which is on the low side of the Broncos’ average.

The Broncos will face off against Valley at home on April 14 at 4:00 p.m. and travel to Wellington April 18 with the first pitch at 4:30 p.m.
