The road to the Bronco League World Series came to an end for the Corsicana Blue All-Stars Saturday.

Corsicana was eliminated by North Richland Hills, 7-5 in the Bronco League Regional Tournament in Rowlett Saturday.

Luke Jordan and Brian French each drove in a run on a double for the Blue All-Stars, with Aaron Cantu and Carlos Vega both connecting for a hit.

Buddy Sloan and Brett Anderson combined to allow five runs on the mound for Corsicana.

After losing in the opening round to Burleson, 7-2 the Blue All-Stars battled back.

Ben Goodrich and French manned the mound for Corsicana, which topped Rowlett 14-10 Friday in a must-win game.

Anderson, French and Luke Jordan each contributed connecting for three hits.
