The Sam Houston Bronco freshman baseball team used timely hitting and eight walks to beat DeRidder HS freshman 10-2 on Monday night in DeRidder. Not to be outdone; Austin Gordon, Derek Laporte, and Evan Campbell all showed their stuff on the hill, throwing 7 innings of 2 hit ball. Campbell backed his 7^th  inning, 3 up 3 down mound time with a towering home run over the left field wall. 

Eric Peterson led the Broncos at the plate with a 2 for 3 performance, knocking in 2 runs with a single and a double. Collin Kober added 2 hits, one a perfectly placed bunt that he followed with a slick steal of home to score the 6^th run of the game. Kameron Esthay reached base every time at bat, contributing 3 walks and a base hit.

Gordon started on the mound. He allowed 2 hits and 2 runs in the first inning before settling down and striking out 3 batters in 3 innings of work. He was relieved by Laporte, who also threw 3 innings, striking out 5 and only allowing 2 runners to reach base via walk.

The Broncos will travel to Jennings on Wednesday to make up a rain-out game at 4:00.
