The Broncos put together a dominant performance on Monday, shutting out the Leo Lions 11–0.
Montini wasted no time getting on the board in the top of the first inning. Nick Sheeran sparked the offense with a two-run double, Jackson Simek followed by drawing a bases-loaded walk, and Julio Ayala added another run with a groundout to give the Broncos an early four-run lead. Montini continued to apply pressure in the second inning when Drew Church singled to center field to make it 5–0, and a double by Kameron Cox in the third extended the advantage to six.
Sheeran earned the win on the mound, allowing just two hits and no runs over three innings while striking out two and walking one. Jimmy Fitzpatrick closed out the shutout and was credited with the save. Lewis took the loss for Leo, working five and one-third innings and surrendering seven runs (six earned) on eight hits with three strikeouts.
Montini finished the game with 11 hits, led by Church, who went 3-for-4 at the plate. Sheeran and Ayala each drove in two runs, while Max Bell collected two hits and stole three bases. The Broncos were aggressive on the base paths all afternoon, swiping eight bases as a team. Defensively, Montini turned a double play to keep Leo off the scoreboard.
For Leo, Davis III led the way offensively, going 2-for-3 and stealing two bases.
Montini returns to action Tuesday as the Broncos welcome Leo home for the series finale.
