Davenport senior Ashton Lebo attempts to slide safely into third base against Lind-Ritzville/Sprague. The Gorillas fell to the Broncos in both games of a doubleheader Friday, April 15.
SPANGLE – The Lind-Ritzville/Sprague boys baseball team played games in a week challenged by unusual spring weather.
On April 12, the Broncos traveled to Spangle for a double header with the Liberty Lancers.
The Broncos won the first game, 10-6.
Owen Telecky had two hits in the game, including a solo homerun.
Brody Boness, Chase Galbreath, Travis Redburn, Micheal Fortin and Zach Klein also had hits for the Broncos.
The second game was played over two days – April 12 and 14 – after the game was suspended due to darkness.
In what sounds like a football score, the local boys lost 34-21 on a snowy day that might have been better suited for a gridiron matchup.
Brody Boness and Jayce Kelly each had three hits in the game.
Chase Galbreath had a three-run homerun.
"This was a wild game," Bronco head coach Dustan Arlt said. "The highest scoring game that I have been a part of, played on two different days, and in the snow."
On April 15, the team traveled to Davenport for a doubleheader against the Gorillas.
The Broncos took both games, 13-1 and 14-2.
In Game 1, Davenport scored the first run of the first game, but the Broncos tied the game on a wild pitch 1-1 in the top of the second inning. The Broncos tagged on five more runs in the next four innings, then won by mercy rule after scoring five runs in the top of the sixth inning.
Owen Telecky gave up one run and struck out 13 for the win.
Cooper Miller and Chase Galbreath each had two hits.
The second game was never close, with the Broncos jumping out to an 8-0 lead before winning by a 14-2 final.
Chase Galbreath pitched all six inning for the win.
Micheal Fortin had four hits in the game. Jayce Kelly, Cooper Miller and Owen Telecky each had two hits apiece.
The Broncos improved to 7-6 with the wins and were headed to Chewelah for a doubleheader with the Jenkins High School Cougars on Tuesday, April 19.
Davenport, which fell to 2-8 with the pair of losses, will be in Reardan for two games with its rivals at the same time.
The Journal went to press before those games were played.
