The Lind-Ritzville/Sprague Broncos baseball team had two more bumps in the road after Asotin swept them in a Northeast 2B South League doubleheader on March 31.

The Panthers defeated the Broncos 6-0 in the first game, followed with a 5-0 shutout in the second contest of the day.

The two losses put LRS at 0-2 in league play.

In game one, Asotin jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the first inning. After LRS’ defense kept the Panthers from adding to the score in the second and third innings, Asotin added one insurance run in the fourth and two more in the fifth.
