The Varsity Broncos secured a dramatic 4-3 walk-off victory over the Salado Varsity Eagles on Friday night. The win marks a high-energy conclusion to the preseason, sending the Broncos into the regular season with a massive wave of momentum.

Pitching told the story in this one. Hits were at a premium for both the Broncos and Eagles, resulting in a tight, defensive game with very little room for error.

The Broncos leaned on their speed and tactical execution to pressure the Salado defense.

The strategy paid off in the bottom of the 7th. With the game on the line, the Broncos utilized their aggressive baserunning and situational hitting to manufacture the winning run.

This victory serves as the final tune-up before their season opener. The Broncos have shown they can win the close ones, a trait that will be tested immediately as they transition from scrimmages to the regular season.

Lake Belton opens the season on the road this Tuesday, facing a tough Georgetown team.
