The Colts jumped out to the early lead in the top of the 1st, when Bryan
Frichter hit a solo home run, his 1st of the season, making the score 1-0 in
favor of San Angelo.
The Colts would add on to their lead against Broncos starter Maximo De La
Cruz in the 3rd inning. Bryan Frichter led off with another solo home run,
his 2nd of the game and season. Then with 2 outs, Nick Mahin hit a solo
home run, his 3rd of the year. That gave San Angelo the 3-0 lead.
San Angelo would tack on few more runs in the 4th inning. Butch Ballez led
off the inning with a double and would score on a 2 run home run by Hunter
Jobes, his 1st of the season. That would chase De La Cruz from the game as
Nathan Crawford came into the game. Crawford would walk Bryan Frichter, who
would then steal both 2nd and 3rd base. After an intentional walk to Jason
Landreth, Brian Nichols hit a tapper back to the mound Crawford got the ball
and fired home. Frichter had a head on collision with Broncos catcher Jake
Wells at the plate. Wells held on to the ball to get Frichter at the plate.
Landreth would go to 2nd on the play with Nichols safe at 1st. Nick Mahin
would follow with a rbi single scoring Landreth and giving the Colts a 6-0
lead.
Maximo De La Cruz only lasted 3 1/3 innings for the Broncos. He gave up 5
runs on 7 hits. He walked only 1 batter and struck out 5. The big blow was
the 4 home runs he gave up.
San Angelo would add on another run in the 6th inning. The Colts would load
the bases against Broncos reliever Nathan Crawford. Crawford would then be
replaced by Carlos Alvarez. Alvarez gave up a rbi groundout to Shan
Sullivan, making the score 7-0.
The Broncos would finally get some offense going against Colts starter
Chandler Barnard in the bottom of the 6th. OJ Garza led off with a single
and went to 2nd on a single by Mario Mendez. Argelis Nunez then hit a rbi
single scoring Garza from 2nd. The Broncos looked to have a big inning
going, but David Cardona lined out to the 3rd baseman Shan Sullivan who then
doubled off Mendez at 2nd to kill the threat.
