Friday night was El Dorado’s night and it came at the expense of the Liberal Bee Jays. The Broncos move past the Bee Jays and into first place in the Jayhawk League North with an 11-0 win over Liberal at McDonald Stadium.
El Dorado took advantage of opportunities the Bee Jays squandered. The Broncos were 9-12 with runners in scoring position and Liberal left 11 runners on base including six in scoring position all in the first six innings. The Broncos scored single runs in the first and third before breaking it open with a four run fifth when Matt Holcombe launched a three run homer off starter Tyler Giovanoni. They added two in the sixth and three in the eighth against reliever Thomas Garland.
El Dorado leads the series 2-1 and is 10-3 overall and 7-3 in the Jayhawk while Liberal loses two straight for the first time and is 12-6 and 8-5. The same two teams play Saturday night at 7 in El Dorado with the Dugout Show at 6:45 on 1270 and kscbnews.net.
