Boise State’s Baseball Club lost its final three league
games to Eastern Washington University last weekend—ending
the season with a 5-15 record.
The Broncos played a doubleheader in Cheney, Wash. on Saturday,
losing 11-10 in extra innings and 5-4 in a regulation seven-inning
game, and finished the series on Sunday with a 4-3 loss to the
Eagles.
“All three games were real squeakers. They had a couple of
guys that could really smash the ball,” team president and
infielder/pitcher Darrin Reed said.
First basemen Josh Wilson homered in the fifth inning of the
first game – tying the score 8-8 – yet his
round-tripper wasn’t enough to stave off Eastern
Washington’s offensive attack.
it only slowed the Eagles down for one inning,” Reed
said.
Pitcher Dusty Hovrud hit a double and two singles for three RBIs
in the first game of the doubleheader, but left the second game
after sustaining an ankle injury.
“We only brought 10 players to Cheney, so Dusty’s
injury left us with only nine players. This definitely hurt
us,” Reed said.
Outfielder Creighton Fuss, who hit seven home runs this season,
was unable to make the road trip.
there,” Reed said.
The Bronco Baseball Club plays in the Mountain West Conference,
contending against other club teams such as Weber State, Utah
State, Universities of Idaho and Montana and Eastern Washington
University.
Reed said the current team is rebuilding because most of last
year’s starting line-up graduated.
“We only had four returning players take the field this
year,” Reed said.
“We are jacked about next season—most of the team
will be coming back.”
The Broncos will finish their season on May 10 at the Mountain
West Tournament in Cheney.
