San Angelo, Texas---The first meeting between the Colts and the WhiteWings in 2011 was a pitching dual, as Colts righty Chandler Barnard duked it out with southpaw Chase Davenport.

Rio Grande scored first when Leo Delgado led off the third with a double and was driven in on a sac fly a couple of batters later by Brandon Decker, to make it 1-0. In the fifth the WhiteWings would get two more runs when they lead off with back-to-back homeruns by Wesley Dimitt (2) and Edgar Trejo (3) to extend the lead to 3-0.
