Huskies Down, Broncos Roll, Promposal a Success
April 26, 2023
The Bronco Girls Varsity Softball team defeated the Huskies 21-10 Tuesday at the Bishop City Park. While there was little drama in the game, the real theatrics came directly after the game when Bronco Quarterback Boden St. Marie asked star Huskie softball player Nichole Smyth to prom….she said yes. The win moves the Broncos High Desert League record to 7-2.
Bronco Coach Lisa Manulito indicates that Bishop used three pitchers in the win. Baileigh Momberg started and left the game with an illness. Freshman Riley Van Nest came in and tossed three innings in relief. Sienna Fuller then started the 5th inning before giving way to Van Nest who returned to the circle to close out the game. Bronco Pitchers recorded 9 strikeouts on the day.
Offensively:
Sienna Fuller – 1 hit, 1 walk, 1 hit by pitch. 2 runs scored
Liv Ellis 2 hits, 1 walk, 2 runs scored
Kristen Sorenson 1 hit, 3 walks, 4 runs scored
Shea Ludwick 2 hits, 1 walk, 2 runs scored
Jayda Jackson 3 hits, 1 walk, 1 hit by pitch, 3 runs scored
Katya Fierro 2 hits, 1 walk, 2 runs
Hope McKee 1 hit, 2 walks, 1 hit by pitch, 3 runs scored
