Senior Jared Musick was on the mound for the Broncos in their win over Wellington last week. The Broncos scored 17 runs on eight hits. Fellow seniors Easton Frausto and Harrison Howard were able to knock down two home runs in the game that accounted for five of the Broncos’ runs.
Musick pitched for three innings posting five strikeouts and no hits or runs. Another Bronco senior, Levi Gates stepped in for a bit in the fourth before Howard took over the duties on the mound to finish the game. Howard collected two strikeouts and allowed one run.
The lone runs in the first belonged to the Broncos when Gates hit a single which allowed Frausto to score and Mason Allred grounded out to score Musick.
After a three and out by Howard, the Broncos came to the plate with runs on their minds. With Mason Sims on first, two batters struck out, Frausto earned a walk that brought up Musick who got things rolling with a single to left field. Howard and Gates each then knocked down singles that scored Sims, Frausto, Howard, and Musick. Allred reaches base on an error and Bryce Williams doubled on a fly ball to center to score two. Grant Haynes hit a fly ball to left field at his at bat to advance Williams to third. The Broncos would go on and score three more runs with a double from Shane Hagood that scored two runs before Frausto slammed a home run that brought home Hagood and left the bases empty.
Another run in the third gave the Broncos security they needed to take the game. Howard put the final runs on the board with his homerun that scored Frausto and Musick.
The Broncos are currently at 12-1-2 and leading the district race with one district game remaining before post-season play.
They will travel to Floydada to face Forsan in a warm-up game on Friday, April 26 beginning at 5:00pm.
