The Broncos took the lead for good with a run in the third.

Ashton Garner singled and then scored on an Austin Murphree single to give Dayton a 2-1 lead.

The score stayed the same until the fifth, when the Broncos added a pair of runs.

Austin Murphree had an RBI triple to plate Garner, and then Murphree would score to make it a 4-1 advantage.

Dayton added three more in the sixth inning to put the game away.

Garner and Austin Murphree each had two hits apiece.

The Broncos traveled to Caney Creek and grabbed a 3-1 decision on Thursday night.

Dylan Ellis struck out nine and allowed just one run in the complete-game performance.

The game was tied at one-apiece heading into the seventh inning.

Conner Murphree reached on an error and then moved to second on a Victor Zuniga single.

Holden Campbell then laid down a bunt, and the Panthers pitcher threw the ball away, allowing Murphree and Zuniga to score, and Dayton had a 3-1 lead.

Ellis then set Caney Creek down to give his team the win in the bottom of the seventh.

The Broncos will host Kingwood Park tomorrow at 7 pm.
