The Lady Broncos slammed in 10 runs in the third inning to secure a 15-4 win over Follett in their district opener at home last Monday night. The win put the ladies at 6-1 overall and 1-0 in district play. Trevela Dronzek was on the mound and Audrey Shelton was behind the plate.
The Lady Broncos jumped on the Lady Panthers early and led 3-0 after one inning. They were able to add to that lead after two before their big inning in the third.
“It was a pretty good game for us,” head coach Gary Jack said. “Trevela did a good job pitching, and Audrey Shelton was great at catcher. She made some good plays and threw out some runners.”
Jack also credited Maci White with doing a good job at shortstop and Amber Keelin, Camra Smith, Taylor Gaines, and Savannah Topper had big hits. He also noted that Skyler White had a good game.
“This was a good District win for us,” Jack said.
The ladies took on Booker on Saturday at home and racked up a well-earned win at 8-6. The ladies stayed strong in the back and forth matchup and were determined to get the win.
They are at 7-1 on the year and 2-0 is district play.
Dronzek was on the mound once again and pitched six good innings according to Jack.
“Trevela went six innings and then Camra (Smith) came in and finished the game for us. It was a 2-1 ballgame until the sixth inning and then they went ahead by two. But we scored six runs in the bottom of the sixth to retake the lead.”
Booker would score two more runs, but the Lady Broncos held them off in their comeback attempt to get the win.
“They are a tough team,” Jack said. “They had a runner on third with only one out in the seventh, but we played good and won the game.”
Maci White made several good plays at shortstop, and Jentry Shadle and Taylor Gaines made some good catches for the Lady Broncos.
“We didn’t have that great of a day hitting, but we’re playing well,” Jack said.
The ladies will take on West Texas at home on Friday beginning at 4:00 p.m. and will play against the Alumni on Saturday at 1:00 p.m.
