Launch the media gallery 1 player - media #1Tuttle, OK - The Bethany baseball team traveled to Tuttle last week to participate in their annual spring break tournament which included a very strong field, including defending Class 4A State Champion Byng, perennial 4A power Tuttle, and the #3 ranked team in Class 2A, Latta.
The Bronchos finished the pool play portion of the week with a 3-1 record notching 9-0 victory over the defending 4A State Champion Byng on an impressive pitching outing from senior Chase Wetwiska. After defeating Byng they also got another impressive win, 9-2 over Latta as Jake Adams controlled the game on the mound. After those two impressive wins the Bronchos struggled against the host school Tuttle and eventually fell 11-1 in the final pool play game. On Saturday the Bronchos played Elgin (4A) in the 3rd place game and looked very good in an 8-0 victory. Overall on the tournament Wetwiska went 2-0 on the mound, Jake Adams had a win, and Deigo Ramirez took home the win over Lawton Eisenhower (5A). Wetwiska, Ben Lawson, Connor Walstad and Tyler Broyles all had home runs during the tournament.
