Lady Broncos fall to Forsan

The Lady Broncos have rebounded solidly this year after a short season last year and made the playoffs after missing a couple of years. They went up against a good Forsan team and were defeated in the best of three series.

The ladies played hard in the first game on Thursday but struggled to get hits late in the game falling 2-19. Forsan put up a run in each of the first two innings, before the Lady Broncos were able to touch Homeplate. One of the scores came when senior Aubrey Jaramillo grounded out but made the path home easy for the runner. The third inning was disastrous for the Lady Broncos as Forsan knocked down 15 runs to pull away.

Madi Smith was on the mound and took the loss. She allowed seven hits and struck out two. Jentrye Bellar stayed strong at the plate going three for three. Clarendon finished the game with two runs, five hits, and seven errors.

The Lady Broncos regrouped after the first loss to face off against Forsan in game two. They had their bats going in the game but fell short to cause a game three. They were defeated 6-11 to end their season.

Defensively, the Lady Broncos were sharp and ready in the opening two innings but allowed Forsan nine runs over the next two innings while remaining scoreless until the sixth.

Once again, Bellar had her bat going and had a big hit to get things rolling in the sixth. Bellar went deep in the seventh to post a home run. But it was not enough for the ladies as they took the loss racking up 12 hits and only three errors.

Bailey Bruce took the loss for Clarendon allowing 12 hits and 11 runs over six innings. Bellar, Ashlynn Crawford, and Bruce had multiple hits with Bellar leading the way with three hits in four at bats.
