The Broncos started their 2016 campaign with a bang, Nick Patla threw a complete 7 inning NO HIT ball game against a Wyoming team that was getting preseason votes for the top 20 rankings. He was a walk in the first inning and a hit batsman in the third away from a perfect game, not another Cowboy touched the bags after the third inning. The Broncos defense was outstanding as Catcher Angelo Romeo threw the base runner out trying to steal second and Ryan Sheridan, Alec Wilson and Scott Lyness teamed up for a snappy 5-4-3 double play in the third. After that Nick settled in and struck out 9 batters to finish off the Cowboys. BSU scraped out 3 runs to back up Nick. Game 2 against another team getting preseason votes was a gem to watch, but the Broncos came up short against the Northern Arizona Lumberjacks in a 3-2 game. Kjell Holmes pitch a great game against a team who had 10 run the two previous teams they had played in the tournament. K.J. only allowed 4 hits against a tough group of hitters. We just couldn`t get that key hit we needed to win the game several times. Game 3, again against a team receiving pre-season votes was a different story this time as Ryan Sheridian started from the bump holding Santa Barbara to 2 runs, on 2 hits in 5 plus innings as the Broncos pounded out 7 runs of support. Richard Hoppe, Alec Wilson, Angelo Romeo and Nick Patla each had 2 hits to lead the charge in the 7-5 victory. Game 4 had everything in it, big start for the Broncos, rally by Denver to take the lead and then it was time for the Broncos to unlease the bats, and boy they did, 13 hits in a exciting 11-7 win. Cooper Thomas lead the offense with a 3-3 game, 4 runs and 3 stolen bases! Richard Hoppe, Alec Wilson, Angelo Romeo and Curtis (DAD) Davidson each had two hits. Broncos were a little sloppy behind their starter Christian Bautista, but he kept battling and throwing ground balls to keep Denver off balance though 4 plus innings. Then Kjell Holmes came in and totally shut them down, striking out 8 of the 11 guys he faced to slam the door shut! Great Weekend of Bronco Baseball and a special shout out to all the Fans and Parents who traveled in support!
