After trailing part of the game, the Lady Broncos rallied to get a one-run win over Borger at home Friday. The 10-9 win was hard fought, and the ladies dug in when they needed it most.
Senior Danielle Ford pitched a “pretty good game” according to head coach Gary Jack.
“Danielle pitched a good game, and we really hit the ball well,” Jack said.
The ladies made several good defensive plays to stifle the Lady Bulldogs. Jack credited Maci White with making some good plays on the defensive side of the ball.
Offensively, Jack felt the momentum change when Emily Clark hit an out-of-the-park
homerun that was good for two Clarendon runs.
“That homerun gave us a spark,” Jack said. “It came in the middle of the game and got us going with our bats. It was a big hit.”
Borger tried to come back in the seventh inning, but the Lady Broncos answered their rally with great defense and solid offense.
“Borger is a good 3A team,” Jack said. “In years past, we’ve beat them pretty easily, but they are a much-improved team.”
The junior varsity played after the varsity and lost a close game at 6-7. Jack was pleased with their effort despite the loss and knows the playing time is good for the underclassmen.
The Lady Broncos will play at Booker Friday, March 25, beginning at 4:00 p.m. They will play Claude at home on Monday, March 28.
