Broadway Advances to Semifinals

By Nolan Potts
Broadway – the number seven seed – upset the number two seed Grottoes for the second straight night and the Bruins advance to the RCBL Semifinals after a 3-1 win on Tuesday night.

Broadway will take on top-seeded Bridgewater in the semifinals.

The Bruins got a masterful outing on the mound from right-hander Kody Dobyns. Dobyns, a rising sophomore at Shenandoah University, went the first 8.1 innings, allowing just one run, nine hits, no walks, and striking out six. He turned it over in the ninth to Grant Landis, who induced a 4-6-3 double play to clinch the victory.

Offensively, Landis had a hit and two RBI for Broadway, while Seth Moomaw had a triple and had the other RBI. Brody Bower had two hits, one of which was a triple, while Carl Keenan, Ryan Martin, and Conner Michael each had a hit.

For Grottoes, starting pitcher Eli Lam went 7.2 innings, allowing three runs on seven hits while striking out seven. Cam Irvine got the final out of the eighth inning, which was a strikeout.

The Cardinals got three hits each from Austin Nicely and Clayton Michael, while Dylan Nicely had a hit and drove in the only run of the game.
