In an unprecedented feat, the Lady Broncos hit two grand slam home runs in the game with Dimmit in the same inning. Allyson Hogan and Emily Johnson took their at-bat seriously and were responsible for adding eight runs to their team total in the Lady Broncos’ 25-12 romp.
Before the behemoth inning for the ladies, Clarendon led 12-8 in the contest. Briley Chadwick pitched a good game according to head coach Gary Jack and Sterling King did a good job of finishing it out.
“We were controlling the game and had a nice lead until the fifth inning when Allyson and Emily each hit a grand slam,” Jack said. “We all hit the ball well in the game.”
On Saturday, the Lady Broncos hosted Memphis in a district game and defeated them 4-0 to put them at 7-4 and 1-1 for the year.
“Memphis is a first year softball team, but they are very athletic and scrappy,” Jack said. “Allyson (Hogan) pitched for us and did a good job, and Sterling King and Shelby Baxter played good defense.”
All four of Clarendon’s runs came in the fourth quarter. Jack credited Karlee Adams, Brooke Martin, Brianna Butler, and Hogan for hitting the ball well in the game.
Adams, Butler, and Hogan each had doubles that inning and Martin made good on a single.
The Lady Broncos will play Booker at home on Friday, March 18, and play their annual Alumni game on Saturday with both games beginning at 1:00 p.m.
