BLACKFOOT – For the second time last week — in fact, for the second time in three days — Kymber Wieland of the Blackfoot Lady Broncos was sent out to the pitching rubber in the circle at the Blackfoot High School softball complex and responded with a no-hitter against Pocatello.
Wieland had good control of her fastball, her off-speed pitches and a rising fastball that had the Pocatello hitters off balance all game long.
The only inning in which Wieland had trouble was the first, when an error led to a pair of unearned runs and a short-lived Pocatello lead at 2-0.
The Lady Broncos quickly put that lead to rest when they put four runs up on the scoreboard in the bottom half of the first frame.
For the game, Wieland went the full five innings, with no hits, two unearned runs and struck out four Pocatello batters.
The Lady Broncos’ offense was on full display on Friday afternoon, launching three home runs in support of Wieland, one by Malia Taufui, who launched a two-run shot high into the air to right field and over the fence.
First baseman Tylar Dalley had a pair of big flies with a home run in the fourth inning and a grand slam home run in the fifth inning.
For the game, Dalley had a total of eight runs driven in.
Dalley, Wieland, Marli Pearson, and Yoleni Navarrete each had multiple hits in the contest, with Dalley and Wieland each collecting three base knocks.
With the win, the Lady Broncos move their season record to 7-4 on the year, 2-0 in the High Country Conference.
The Lady Broncos will be in action next on Tuesday, when Madison comes to town for a 5A-4A confrontation against Blackfoot. Game time is scheduled for 4 p.m. and the game will be played on the Blackfoot High School softball complex.
