Garden City, KS-Drew Bomer homered and collected two hits, Brayden Curtis struck out seven, and Southeast beat Garden City, 4-1 Saturday afternoon at Williams Stadium. The loss dropped the Broncbusters to 1-9 overall.

The Broncbusters got on the board in the fourth. Kaelen Bing singled, PJ Alvarez walked, and Micah Perez laid down a perfect sacrifice bunt to make it 2-1. But with the tying run at second, Quinn Gundelfionger grounded out. 

The Storm put the game out of reach in the seventh. Elliot Peterson tripled off reliever Caden Blair before Borner smashed a two-run homer over the fence in left. 

The Broncbuster offense struggled all afternoon, and at one point, Curtis retired seven straight hitters before Bing singled to lead off the fourth. 

Dawson Stutz went 2-for-3 at the plate including a two-out double in the first.
