Eagleville gets revenge vs. Broncos

The Boyd Broncos were hoping to keep their winning streak alive against Eagleville in the first round of the District 9-A baseball tournament on Friday, after sweeping the Eagles in a doubleheader on Monday, 4-3, 9-6.

But Eagleville?s pitcher John Proctor had other ideas, holding the Broncos to three hits and one run as the Eagles defeated Boyd 3-1 in the first round of the District 9-A tournament, which was held at Middle Tennessee Christian in Murfreesboro. The Broncos? Dillion Childers took the loss.

The Eagles did all the damage they needed to do in the bottom of the second inning. Childers walked two batters, and an infield error loaded the bases for Eagleville. A wild pitch sent the Eagles? first run across the plate, then Proctor helped his own cause with a single, driving in two runs for a 3-0 lead before Boyd could get out of the inning.

The Broncos sent one run to the plate in the top of the fourth, when Tyler Hillis tripled to right field to lead things off. Jon Bryant followed with an infield hit which scored Hillis, but Boyd would record just one more hit in the game.

Boyd was slated to take on MTCS on Tuesday night.
