The Dillas would get on the scoreboard early as they scored 3 runs in the
top of the 1st.  Terrance McClain hit a 2 run double, and would later score
on a fielder’s choice by Stantrel Smith.  That gave Amarillo a 3-0 lead.
The inning could have been worse but Broncos’ starter Travis Parker picked
off 2 runners in the inning.

The Dillas would strike again in the top of the 3rd.  Trent Lockwood
connected on a 3 run home run, his 4th of the season.  That home run would
chase Broncos’ starter Travis Parker from the game only lasting 2 1/3
innings.  He gave up 6 runs on 5 hits, walked 4 and struck out 2.  Jason
Herman came into the game and got the next 2 outs, making the score 6-0.

The Broncos offense was held in check by the Dillas’ starter Richard Jessup.
The Broncos only managed 1 hit thru the first 5 innings of the game.
Broncos’ reliever Jason Herman pitched well keeping the Dillas off the
scoreboard in his 2 2/3 innings of work allowing no hits.  Edgar Soto came
in for the Broncos to start the 6th.

The Broncos finally got to Dillas’ starter Richard Jessup in the 6th inning.
Jaime Morales led off with an infield single.  Then with 1 out, OJ Garza
walked moving Morales to 2nd.  With Mario Mendez batting a passed ball was
charged to Amarillo’s catcher Brian Bueno, which advanced the runners to 2nd
and 3rd.  Mendez would then hit a sacrifice fly scoring Morales.  Argelis
Nunez then came up and was called out on strikes on a check swing by the
umpire.  Nunez not happy with the call ran out and argued with the umpire
who ejected him.  The run did get Laredo on the board as the score was now
6-1.

Amarillo would extend their lead in the top of the 7th inning.  With runners
on 1st and 2nd with no one out Terrance McClain reached on a fielding error
by 3rd baseman Andres Santos which scored Andrew Wong from 2nd and advanced
Carlos Figueroa to 3rd with McClain ending up at 2nd base.  Then back to
back rbi groundouts by Trent Lockwood and Stantrel Smith made the score 9-1.
