Jenna Bennett led the hitting with a triple and two doubles Saturday, but it was not enough to lift the team over the Colfax Lady Bulldogs who rolled to 15-8 win in the fastpitch season’s league opener.
Originally scheduled to be played in Colfax, the game was moved to Ritzville due to poor field conditions from foul weather in Colfax.
The Lady Broncos, 2-1 overall, scored eight runs on 15 hits and had five errors. Colfax scored 15 runs on 10 hits and recorded four errors.
Alicia Bolin was the starting pitcher for the Lady Broncos and was given the loss. Bennett and Soraida Chavez pitched in relief.
At the plate, Brittany Ste. Marie smacked a triple while Brittany Blaske delivered a pair of doubles and Bolin added one of her own.
In non league play on Tuesday, March 20, the Lady Broncos traveled to Odessa-Harrington and pounded the opponent, 20-0 and 16-1.
Individual statistics were not available at press time. Head coach John McGregor was out of state.
