Lafayette Jefferson thumps 4A #11 Westfield, 9-2

Al Clark added two hits, and D.J. Frederick had two hits and two RBIs for the Bronchos (13-9), who handed Westfield just its fourth loss of the season.
1A #1 Frontier survives scare
Frontier was on the verge of its first loss of the season before Colton Oland’s ******* squeeze scored Dylan Sterrett in the bottom of the seventh May 21, giving the Class A top-ranked Falcons a 5-4 victory over visiting Clinton Prairie.
The visiting Gophers had taken a 4-1 lead with a four-run third inning thanks to Chris Bandy’s bases-loaded double.
Sophomore Chad Timmons, making his first career start, held Frontier off-balance after Jon-Marc Ream led off the game with a home run. Ream also doubled in the contest, while Oland had a triple and Frank Fisk added a home run for Frontier (25-0).
