Broncos slam Shamrock Irish

By Sandy Anderberg

The Bronco baseball team only needed five innings to take down the Shamrock Irish in a district baseball game last week. The Broncos had a huge 22-2 win at home.

It only took the Broncos eight hits to score the runs. Senior Easton Frausto slammed not one, but two homeruns in the fourth inning. The first came on the second pitch of the series to score a run and the second homerun was a fly to left field that scored two runners. Frausto went on to knock in four runs and as many RBIs and collect four stolen bases in the game.

Mason Sims was on the mound for the first three innings where he allowed one hit, one run and struck out two. Overall, Sims threw 25 strikes in 41 pitches. Frausto took over the duties for the last two innings and had good results as well. He threw 46 pitches in all and racked up 26 strikes in his time on the mound.

The Broncos were on fire at the plate and ran the bases well. The team grabbed a whopping 27 stolen bases from the Irish that gave them the momentum they needed to get the big win. Levi Gates knows how to get it done and finished with five stolen bases and Frausto, Mason Allred, and Brice Williams had four each.

Gates hit one double, one RBI, and collected three runs, while Allred had two singles, an RBI, and accounted for three runs in the game. Sims claimed one single, two runs, and one RBI and Shane Hagood had two runs and a stolen base. Harrison Howard stole one base, had one single and one double, one RBI, and had three runs. Grant Haynes posted one run, one RBI, and one stolen base while Parker Haynes grabbed one steal.
