Centennial had lost 13 straight on the road dating back to last season, but on Saturday they dropped their record down to 0-9 to make it 14. They might be feeling deja-vu: they lost 11-1 to the Malcolm Clippers, which was the same score (and result) they got the week prior. The result was an unpleasant reminder to the Broncos of the 19-1 loss they experienced in the pair's previous head-to-head fixture back in April of 2024.
As for Malcolm, the victory was the 16th in a row for them, bringing their record up to 19-1. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.2 runs on average over those games.
For Malcolm's part, Carson Frank was incredible, going a perfect 2-for-2 with two runs, one stolen base, and two RBI. That's the most runs Frank has posted over his last 11 matches. Austin Sykes also deserves some recognition as he got his first hit of the season.
Coincidentally, Centennial and Malcolm will both be playing Central City/Centura the next time they take the field. The Broncos will head out to face the Kernels at 12:30 p.m. on Saturday, while the Clippers will play them later in the day, at 3:00 p.m.
