Pitching on the mound for the Broncos, right-hander Henry Omana got off to a great start through six-innings, allowing just one hit and no runs.

The Pioneers finally scored in the seventh inning, taking two runs off Omana to tie the game 2-2.

Junior right-hander Wyatt Shackleford came up in the bottom of the eight-inning but gave up three runs through two innings. Shackleford took the loss, moving his record to 1-3 on the year.

The Broncos offense rallied in the bottom of the ninth-inning when senior outfielder Alex Gaskin singled through the right side to score Nic Hernandez, cutting the deficit to 5-3, but came up short in the end.
