Clarendon senior Colton Caudle had a hot bat in the Broncos’ last regular season game at Quanah and was instrumental in the Broncos’ shut-out win.
They were able to bring home the win in only five innings. Fellow senior Mason Sims was on the mound for the entire game and allowed zero hits, zero runs, and struck out 13 batters.
As a team, the 10-10 Broncos have been stellar on the bases and they were able to rack up 10 stolen bases against the Indians and slammed six hits that scored their 11 runs in the win. Caudle only managed one hit in his two times at bat, but it was a big one to left field that scored four runs in the fourth inning. Bryce Williams also had the hot hand as he posted a single and a double in the game.
All the Broncos were good at the plate and were heavy on the singles. Mason Allred, Klay Wilkins, Parker Haynes all hit singles in the win.
The Broncos’ first two innings were huge as they came out swinging. With two outs in the first, Wilkins was able to score Kreed Robinson and Sims to add the first runs to the board with Braylon Rice adding a run on a passed ball. The Broncos began the second inning with a ground out, single, walk, single, strike out, and another strike out to go up six to zero.
Overall, the Broncos played well to give them confidence going into their first play-off game which will be held Friday, May 2, at Tascosa against West Texas beginning at 5 p.m. The second game will be Saturday at 1:00 p.m. at the same locations and game three, if needed.
