Thatcher, AZ -- The Broncos return trip to Arizona resulted in another 1-3 showing.  Freshman left-handed pitcher, Sergio Marquez was dominant on the mound for a second consecutive game as he pitched the Broncos to a 1-0 victory in the third game of the series.

In game three, Marquez pitched a complete game four-hitter as he shutout EAC 1-0.  In seven innings he totaled 6 strikeouts while only walking one batter.  Mike Sloback scored the only run of the game for NMMI when Jesus Flores singled in the sixth to break to nothing-nothing tie.  Marquez also went 2-3 at the plate.

In a combined effort, Andrew Macias and Gabe Arellano held EAC to just 3 runs, but the Bronco offense was unable to put any runs on the board as EAC took game three, 3-0.
