The first two innings went by quick with neither team being able to drive home a run until the third when the Broncos brought home two. Rosamond quiclky answered with a run of their own in the bottom half of the inning, before tying it up in the bottom half of the fourth. Bishop’s biggest inning came in the fifth with a 2 RBI hit by Starting pitcher Justin Yates, and capped off by a two-run home run by catcher Brodie Maloney. Rosamond once again answered with a run of their own in the bottom half of the inning before breaking out in the 6th, managing to put the Broncos down 10-6, a deficit that the Broncos could not rally back from.
Starting pitcher Justin Yates got the loss, despite pitching a good game going 5 innings giving up 6 earned runs on 8 hits, 5 Ks and 1 walk. At the plate Yates went 1-3 with 2 RBIs, and Maloney also went 1-3 with a 2 run home run.
