Bronco Freshman Clobber Saints

The Sam Houston Bronco offense usually doesn’t need much help on offense the way they sting the ball. But the St Louis Saint freshman team was more than willing to help out in their home game against the Broncos at Legion Field on Monday night. SHHS won 17-6 in a game that was highlighted by a 13 run 5^th inning. The Saints actually outhit the Broncos 9-8, but committed seven errors and threw in 10 walks from their pitchers.

In a game that was fairly close in the first 4 innings, the team sent 19 batters to the plate in the pivotal 5^th. Kameron Esthay kept up his torrid hitting pace, banging out a 4 for 5 night with 2 rbi. Zach Rome, Evan Campbell, Eric Peterson (2b), and Adam Chase all had hits in the game. Rome and Austin Gordon had 3 rbi apiece.

Collin Kober started on the mound and got the win for Sam Houston. Although control was an issue at times, he gutted it out and scattered 8 hits and only allowed 2 runs, striking out 2, while walking 3. Derek Laporte came on in the 6^th inning and ended the game under the 10-run rule. He pitched one inning and allowed 4 runs (although none were earned) while striking out 1 batter and walking 2.
