COLFAX-The Lind-Ritzville/Sprague Broncos saw their season slip away with a 12-11 loss against the Kettle Falls Bulldogs on Thursday, May 2.

The Broncos held an early lead in the game before the Bulldogs came crawling back to tie the game late.

In the final inning, the Broncos were ahead by a run, then, disaster struck.

Lind-Ritzville would allow Kettle Falls to score key runs in their final at-bats, including a walk off base hit from the Bulldogs to advance them in the tournament, and knock the Broncos out.

The Broncos finished the season with a heartbreaking loss to the Bulldogs, who went on to lose 13-3 to Colfax in the next round of districts.

Lind-Ritzville had chances to put the game sway early and late in the game, however, they failed to do so, and will see their season end short.
