Up by eight, the Broncos used the bottom of the fifth to score another pair of runs and secure the run-rule win 12-2.

Head Coach Chris Cook on the pair of wins, "I was happy overall with how we played today, especially how we pitched with a couple of guys who needed good starts for us," Cook said. "Offensively, early in game one with left some runners on base but we overcame that with some home runs. If you hit enough homers you don't have to run the bases all that good," Cook said. "We're going to need to clean up some stuff for this weekend but I'm happy with our bounce back. Midweek's game you usually see some lulls out there but I'm glad we came out and got the job done."

The Broncos return to action on Saturday, March 15 at the NMMI Ballpark as they host Odessa College for a four-game series, concluding with a doubleheader on Sunday. First pitch for both days is scheduled for noon.
