Broncos own Lockney, Memphis

By Sandy Anderberg

The Clarendon Broncos made the game on the diamond look easy as they took down Lockney 11-5 last week. Braylon Rice was on the mound and threw 109 pitches in the game.

“Braylon really controlled the game,” coach Aaron Smith said.
According to Smith, Klay Wilkins had a big shot that brought in two runs as well as Hayden Moore.

At the end of the week, the Broncos destroyed the Memphis Cyclones 17-6. The Broncos were able to gather seven runs on three hits in the bottom of the sixth to take the big lead.

Brentley Gaines took over the helm to get the game started and allowed 10 hits and six runs over six innings. Gaines struck out 10 and walked two.

Offensively, the Broncos were unstoppable and were zeroed in on the plate.

With a good eye for the strike zone, the Broncos were able to get the free first base 12 times while collecting 18 hits in the game.

Dakotah Jameson had good control of his bat and earned three RBIs and Klay Wilkins went four for four at the plate. Kreed Robinson, Shaun Childers, Hudson Howard, Braylon Rice, and Hayden Moore each slammed multiple hits for the Bronco offense. While their hitting was on target, the Broncos ran the bases with determination. They were able to rack up 17 stolen bases in the game catching the Cylcones off guard.

A bright spot in the game was the Broncos’ defense in the field. They went the distance error-free with Aiden Burnham leading the way with nine plays.

The Broncos will be in action this week with a game at home against the Floydada Whirlwinds on Tuesday, March 31 and will play at Wellington April 3 as they continue their District schedule.
